Types of wind farms and advantages of each one
Types of wind farms and advantages of each one
There are three types of wind farms:
Onshore wind farms
Onshore wind farms
They are currently the most common. They are located on land no less than 3 kilometers from the coast and feed on terrestrial air currents. The advantage that this location offers is its easy accessibility and proximity to the electric grid.
Nearshore wind farms
Nearshore wind farms
They are also located on land, but less than 3 kilometers from the coast. The advantage of opting for this location is that it can harness both terrestrial winds and sea winds to produce energy
Offshore wind farms
Offshore wind farms
These structures are built in the open sea several miles from the coast. Among their main benefits compared to land installations is that the wind's force is greater, at a lower altitude, and more regular than on land.
