Geotechnical prospective on offshore wind plan, strategy, projects and research in Korea

Abstract

This paper introduces the results and current status of the Korea offshore wind technology development from the viewpoint of geotechnical engineering. First, Koreas offshore wind resources and geographical/geotechnical conditions are introduced, followwed by construction records for offshore wind farms development, and the research and development projects of the substructure for offshore wind turbine installation.oduced, followwed by construction records for offshore wind farms development, and the research and development projects of the substructure for offshore wind turbine installation.
