In recent years, offshore wind power systems are public attentions as the new frontier, because the cumulative capacities on land in Europe were considerably increased.
In our country, although the introduction of wind power generating systems on land were increased in the last decade, there are difficult problems inherent in establishing a large number of installation. Therefore, in order to promote offshore wind farms in Japan, this study assessed some issues of installing offshore wind farms based on the current state of development of offshore wind power generation systems in Europe.
