Offshore wind farms harness strong, consistent ocean winds to generate electricity. With higher wind speeds and fewer land constraints, offshore wind offers a reliable and large-scale clean energy solution. This electricity can be used immediately to power equipment, but is typically stored in batteries for future use. Larger turbines may generate enough power to carry or float larger loads (such as. . For centuries, sailors have relied on the power of the wind to navigate the seas. Marine energy can also be harnessed from temperature differences in water through a process known as ocean thermal energy conversion.
