Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Offshore Wind Energy Towers

Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Offshore Wind Energy Towers
Available for download

The paper provides a review about the corrosion and corrosion protection of offshore wind energy devices (OWEA) with a focus on the support structure. Firstly, special features resulting from location and operation of wind energy devices offshore are being discussed. This includes the definition of a load collective. Secondly, types of corrosion and corrosion phenomena are summarized in a systematic way.

Firstly, special features resulting from location and operation of wind energy devices offshore are being discussed. This includes the definition of a load collective. Secondly, types of corrosion and corrosion phenomena are summarized in a systematic way. Examples form site inspections are presented. Further, practical solutions to the corrosion protection of OWEA, including steel allowances, cathodic protection and the application of coatings and linings, are discussed. Crucial issues, namely steel work quality, steel surface preparation, paint application and quality control, are discussed finally from a point of view of a surface protection contractor.

Cathodic protection (CP) is routinely applied to the external surfaces of offshore wind turbine monopile foundations to minimize corrosion. When the monopile internals are free-flooding, and therefore also exposed to oxygenated seawater, again, cathodic protection may be applied. In cases of unplanned water exchange through cable entry seals, a small additional surface area, in a gap between the seal and the ‘cable entry hole’ through the steel monopile is then exposed to flowing seawater. Cathodic protection calculations were undertaken to assess whether protection (either applied externally or externally and internally) could penetrate into the small gap and prevent corrosion.
