Offshore wind farms become bigger and are located further out in the sea offshore platforms needed
- AC transformer - DC converter - accommodation
Periodic/permanent manning of platforms for maintenance and inspection understand and manage associated risks Current offshore guidance focuses on oil & gas installations different risk profile in offshore wind farms
