Geotechnical parameters important for offshore wind energy in Atlantic Canada / J.B.R. Eamer, Z. Levisky, and K. MacKillop. : M183-2/8873E-PDF
"To date, a major hindrance to offshore wind energy development has been the relatively high cost of site characterization, deployment, construction, and maintenance compared to onshore wind energy or conventional power production. However, rapid technology development and innovation in all aspects of the supply chain has resulted in recent claims that "the era of subsidy-free offshore wind turbines has begun". A key component to de-risking offshore wind energy is the development of a geotechnical model involving the accurate and efficient geotechnical characterization of the marine soils that may host offshore wind infrastructure. Offshore wind-specific geotechnical modeling and characterization approaches are starting to reach maturity. This report aims to review the current methods of offshore wind geotechnical characterization and provide context for Atlantic Canada-specific soil conditions"--Introduction, page 1.
