I am trying to obtain information on what makes an offshore wind farm viable. Some of the information I guess is needed would be depth range, distance to shore, minimum and maximum wind speeds, frequency of wind speed above certain threshold, minimum size of the wind farm, etc. Of course I am also interested in reading about existing offshore wind farms and their conditions. Any indication to references will be appreaciated, thanks!
Hi Christian,
That is a very broad based question - plenty of material can be located on the web. Perhaps a good point to start is the GWEC webpage dedicated to the subject:

May be easier to discuss if you can pose specific queries.

Thanks for all the references, I know my question is too broad, but you have all given me good starting points. Thanks!
