{"product_id":"9781634823647","title":"Offshore Wind","description":"Offshore wind has been envisaged as making a critical contribution in Europe in satisfying the electricity demand in a low-carbon generation scenario. In fact, offshore environment provides a windier and steadier source compared to onshore wind energy. Offshore wind turbine rotors and generators create value by \"farming\" the wind, converting its energy into electricity. Costly infrastructure -- the very high towers, deep seabed foundations, buried high voltage insulated cables, on-platform transformers and complete subsea transmission grid -- and expensive at-sea maintenance are required because this electricity is not where it is needed. This book discusses offshore wind technologies and examines the ecological risks and prospects of offshore wind.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers, Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65433409945949,"sku":null,"price":152.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781634823647.jpg?v=1789261734","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9781634823647","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
