Discussion

Analytical design finds optimal dimensions for high-capacity offshore wind turbines, suggesting feasibility in Brazil's offshore sector.

High-capacity offshore wind turbines are now feasible for operation in Brazil's offshore conditions, enhancing energy prospects.
Optimization identifies critical dimensions needed for supporting structures based on about 15 MW capacity turbines.
This assessment used meteoceanographic and geotechnical data to ensure compliance with DNV’s standards and requirements.
Possible implementation highlights the potential of wind energy in Brazil, addressing both economic and environmental factors.

Soares et al. (2025) studied this question.
