Offshore metallic structures have an average life-time of 20-25 years. They consist of four different zones, the buried, the submerged, the tidal/splash and the atmospheric one. According to NACE 2013 the global corrosion cost is estimated to be US$2.5 trillion, consisting a major economic problem. Hence, protection from corrosion is essential. Each zone is protected either with cathodic methods, or with a combination of cathodic methods and coatings. More specifically, the protection of the atmospheric zone, which is the aim of this research, due to the lack of continuous electrolyte (seawater) does not allow the application of cathodic protection.

Offshore wind turbines are subjected to harsh marine environment, which can cause detrimental problems to their integrity due to corrosion. Offshore wind energy is considered to play an important role on the net zero emissions by 2050, contributing to environmental protection, hence the long-term protection from corrosion of these offshore structures is of high importance. In this work the formation of microcapsules, loaded with corrosion inhibitor liquid is presented. More specifically the microcapsules consist of polystyrene shell and 3-octanoylthio-1-propyltriethoxysilane core. The formation of the microcapsules was achieved by testing different variables such as four agitation rates and three different emulsifiers. The experiments revealed that the optimum diameter size was achieved in agitation rates between 400 and 500 rpm and with sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) as emulsifier. Agitation times were also tested. Hence, this work highlights the formation of microcapsules with self-healing properties, which can offer corrosion solution to offshore wind turbines when used as part of a coating system.

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.

Metallic coatings as a protective coating are characterized by excellent corrosion protection behavior and show extreme resistance to mechanical loads as well. Pure metallic coatings or duplex systems are already being used successfully in other areas of offshore structures. For example, areas in the tidal water zone, such as boat landings, usually receive a duplex system consisting of thermal spayed coating and a fitting topcoat. Add-on parts are often protected exclusively by a metallic zinc coating. A thermal spray coating in the submerged zone thus represents a logical alternative to the organic topcoat system.

In the UK a huge effort was made in the mid to late 2000’s to minimize carbon emissions and the country had seen a rapid increase in wind-turbine generators being installed onshore and increasingly in offshore waters, nearly 2000 were operating in September 2018 and many more are expected in the coming decades. 1 One operator took the challenge to install a number of wind-turbines in the southern sector of the North Sea, just off the coast of south east England. These wind-turbines are constructed using the monopile foundation type principle.
