“…Th is is located at appro ximately 23 km offshore fo r which correspond a water depth of 32 m, all these characteristics replicat ing the conditions reported by the Greater Gabbard wind farm fro m England. A nu mber of 140 units of SWT-3.6-107 defines this project, which is operational since 2013 [15]. Table 1 [16], and based on these values was proposed a case study.…”

“…The main focus of the present work is to assess the expected electricity production of the SWT-3.6-107 wind turbine wh ich operates at a minimu m hub height of 80 m, an therefore the initial wind values (U10) will be adjusted to this height (U80) by using the following logarithmic law [18,19] The Annual Electricity Production (AEP) of a particular wind turbine can be obtained as [15]:…”

The aim of the present work is to assess the electricity production coming from an offshore wind farm that may operate in the northern part of the Romanian coastal area. In the first part, a complete description of the Romanian energy sector is presented considering the t ime interval from January 2008 to December 2018. In general, the elect ricity sold is negat ive (exports exceed imports), with the ment ion that a significant cont ribution comes from hydroelect ric and coal generat ion. It is important to ment ion that , if one of these two sectors willno longer perform on full capacity, the elect ricity balance will be shifted to the elect ricity imports. As for the wind energy, the average values from the vicinity of Sulina site may vary between 5.6 m/s and 8 m/s depending on the season, these results being reported at a wind turbine level (80 m). By using an offshore win d farm which replicates the Greater Gabbard project (504 MW), England, was possible to est imate the annual energy product ion and to indicate the expected impact on the energy sector. For example, a single wind farm may cover 1.7% of the total production, which may be further associated with 9.6% from nuclear, 7.6% from hydroelect ric or 6.4% from coal, respectively.

“…In the European oceanic regions, majority of the wind power plants are situated in North Sea, Irish Sea and the Baltic Sea. In Europe, the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden and Belgium have majority of the offshore wind power capacity [3,4]. Except these European countries, only China has significant installed capacity.…”

“…The current objectives and performance criteria are focused on the interval 2020-2030. In general, the discussions are carried out around the same topics that involve global warming, energy security strategy, or the dependency on fossil fuel energy consumption [1]. One way to support these measures is to identify and use new renewable sources of energy, such as the ones from the marine environment, where it is possible to develop large-scale projects.…”

At the European level, offshore wind projects are already considered a competitive market. Nevertheless, this is not yet the case of the enclosed sea basins, such as the Black Sea, where no offshore wind farm is operating at this moment. From this perspective, the objective of the present work is to identify the most suitable sites where a wind project can be developed in the Romanian coastal areas. Various parameters, such as wind speed, water depth, distance to shore, and turbine performance, are considered. A picture of the local wind characteristics is first provided considering 20 years of reanalysis data, which cover the time interval from January 1998 to December 2017. The results indicated that the best sites to implement a wind project are located in the northern sector of the Black Sea, close to the Danube Delta. It was also noticed an important variation of the wind speed between onshore and 20 km offshore, for which an increase of about 55% was estimated.
