Wind resource assessment offshore provides more background but other technological innovations that may be deployed in future offshore turbines include:
- Two-bladed rotors
- Downwind rotors
- More closely-integrated drive-trains
- Multi-pole permanent magnet generators
- High temperature superconductors (in generators)
- High voltage output converters (eliminating the need for turbine transformers)
