Fixed and floating turbines

The design life of an offshore wind turbine is approximately 25 years. The trend for a longer design life on all wind turbines is due to the maturing of the wind energy industry – asset owners now expect to operate wind farms for longer periods without the technology becoming obsolete or unsupported by suppliers. Extreme loads due to storms, abnormal events and faults during operation can also be critical. Typically, an offshore wind turbine will turn for over 90% of the time. With long system lifetime and comprehensive experience in marine and offshore environments, Glamox luminaires are designed to achieve the intended lifetime of the wind turbines.
