TÜV SÜD - Create Ideal Conditions for Your Offshore Wind Farm

Profitable projects right from the start with TÜV SÜD.

Ambitious targets are in place to increase energy from renewable sources. Across the world, offshore wind energy is set to play a particularly important role in the future. The reason is evident: offshore wind speeds are higher and wind strength is more consistent. Given this, the energy yield of offshore wind energy plants exceeds that of onshore plants by around 40 per cent. However, the realization of offshore wind farms also involves major technical challenges. The key difficulties include very deep water and the combined effects of extreme wind, high waves and the salt content of the water and the air.

Quality assurance across the entire project and in crucial individual phases of the project is critical for ensuring the profitable operation of offshore wind farms. Leave your offshore wind energy projects in the capable hands of a qualified partner – TÜV SÜD.
