Optimizing power generated from wind needs bigger improved designs and windy conditions, thus increasing installations offshore. As component costs decrease and processes improve, it can be profitable for farm developers to go further from shore into deeper waters and high-risk areas. In addition, the lifecycle expectancies of a coating system have developed along the way, moving from a typical >15 years expected lifetime in a given environment, to now >25 years.
Optimizing power generated from wind needs bigger improved designs and windy conditions, thus increasing installations offshore. As component costs decrease and processes improve, it can be profitable for farm developers to go further from shore into deeper waters and high risk areas. In addition, the lifecycle expectancies of a coating system have developed along the way, moving from a typical >15 years expected lifetime in a given environment, to now >25 years. The offshore foundation designs are endless but are dominated by fixed types such as monopiles with transition pieces, jackets and tripods, as well as floating designs also being considered but not yet mature. The specific designs of the offshore foundations will lead to optimized coating systems and required life cycle. The intent of this paper is to understand the technologies available today, identify and discuss alternative systems (including those proven and unproven for offshore wind power), and compare/contrast the systems based on defined performance and cost features.
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.

Specifying corrosion protection for the offshore wind turbine industry in the European CEN TC219(2) committee. This comprises corrosion protection specification for external as well as internal parts of the turbine foundations.
Requirements for corrosion protection for new large offshore wind farms are extended to 25 years’ maintenance-free service lifetime. Therefore, ISO 12944 is being updated. To bring down construction cost for offshore wind, initiatives have been taken to industrialize the coating application process and use standard components.
