Possibilities of offshore wind plants installation on the Croatian part of the Adriatic sea

This paper focuses on economic and technological factors relative to the construction and operation of offshore and onshore wind plants in Croatia along the Adriatic Sea. Similar wind power plants in Europe will be taken into consideration. With the increasingly rapid development of construction technology of offshore and onshore wind power plants, costs in these types of installations are expected to decrease. This fact offers the possibility of exploiting offshore and onshore wind potential in Croatia in the near future. This study assesses the quality of possible offshore sites using the existing data. For this reason, there is a need for additional examination of wind potential by using contemporary procedures as well as selecting sites by means of a collaborative effort. The first analysis carried out affords a global overview of possible exploitation of wind in wind plants in Croatian Adriatic Sea areas as an initial step pointing to the potential of this branch of wind energy.
