Kollisionssicherheit von Offshore-Windenergieanlagen

Collision safety of offshore wind turbines

Germany, as a country with few natural resources relies on the import of energy sources. This leads to a strong dependence on the supplier nations. Therefore, renewable energy sources like wind, solar, or waterpower are heavily subsidized, to cover a part of the required energy. To generate energy from wind is an economic an ecologic useful procedure. By the massive expansion of the wind energy you will find wind turbines nearly in any part of the country. Due to the development of more powerful wind turbines it is possible to set them up offshore.
In some areas next to high shipping traffic in the German North and Baltic Sea, wind energy farms are in planning. According to Clause 3 SeeAnlV it is to demonstrate, that a wind energy farm will not endanger the security and waftability of the shipping traffic and the marine environment.
