Abstract

In the last decades, the wind power is the one among all other power sources that shows the highest growth, which the global expectations’ spotlight is focused on the wind generation located on seas. Therefore, this paper presents the current situation of wind generation, with emphasis on offshore generation, describing the highlighted countries’ scenario with this sort of technology, the same time an analysis concerning the possibility of implementation of this kind of generation in Brazil is done. The most appropriate methodology to this paper, a bibliographic research, was used as a way to gather concisely the mandatory information about the offshore wind generation. This paper aims to clarify the costs and advantages related to this alternative source of energy, as well as to present the long and short term future perspective.
