SUMMARY:
Wind energy is a renewable, abundant, safe and clean energy resource used to generate electricity, unaffected by fossil fuel costs and long-term price fluctuations. According to projections by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global offshore installed capacity will grow from 24 GW in 2018 to 228 GW in 2030 and to approximately 1000 GW in 2050, when then offshore wind farms will account for 17% of installed wind capacity and 5% of the global installed capacity, of approximately 20,000 GW. Such projections point out that the offshore wind energy industry will become a US$ 1 trillion business starting in the 2040s. Currently, in Brazil, all generation of electricity from the wind source comes from onshore plants, with no offshore plants in operation yet. However, in the maritime environment, the country has an extensive coastline with vast untapped wind potential, which would be sufficient to supply the country's energy demand in the long term. In this sense, the objective of the study is to estimate energy productivity and supply capacity, as well as to estimate the costs of electricity generated from a 1 GW offshore wind farm (OWF) located close to the coast of Rio Grande do Norte State. The theoretical research covered the themes: (i) wind energy use; (ii) offshore wind potential; (iii) main elements of offshore wind energy systems, (iv) OWFs economic aspects and (v) OWFs life-cycle costs. The field research will consider a case study for a 1 GW OWF. As a result, it is expected to obtain the farm’s energy productivity and supply capacity estimate, as well as techno-economic viability indicators.
