How do you put a wind turbine on the sea?

Answer 1

Yes, however there are strict limits on how high a wind the generator can withstand, and how much energy the generator can produce.

Wind generators are usually equipped with devices to prevent damage in high winds.

A2 On the sea, you mount them on a raft which could be floating, or supported on piles in shallow water. There then has to be a undersea power cable to a land switchyard

A3:

1) Select possible locations for your idea.

2) Survey the Wind one could expect to find at each location. (or have an Engineer do it.)

3) Investigate the regulations and ordinances one would have to comply with.

4) Work out who you will sell the power to and how you plan to get the power to their grid.

5) Work out how you plan to anchor the tower.

6) Work out a design for each site. Rated Capacity, expected output, drawings, plans, ordinances that need to be complied with.

7) Work out the business of your company, finances and who will need contracts to proceed.

8) Get approvals.

9) Let contracts and oversee work.

10) Manage contracts and maintain the wind turbines for their useful life.

11) Remove the turbines at the end of their useful lives and dispose of the material.

Answer 2

To put a wind turbine in the sea, a specialized offshore wind foundation, like a monopile or a floating platform, is required to support the structure in the water. The foundation is first installed on the seabed and then the wind turbine tower and blades are assembled on top of it. The entire structure is anchored to the seabed to withstand the forces of wind and waves.
