Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Offshore Wind Energy Towers

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.
