What is Civil Engineering Aspects of a Wind Farm and Wind Turbine Structures about?

Energy challenge: With the discovery of shale gas (fracking) and the lowering of oil prices, it is predicted that reliance on oil (often termed as oil age) may have gone. With the increasing use of electric cars and wind turbines, it may be argued that this change of moving toward low carbon energy (LCE) is irreversible and quite similar to the transition from Stone Age to Bronze Age. Offshore wind energy is considered promising technology to move toward LCE. 10.2 Wind farm and Fukushima nuclear disaster 10.2.1 Case study: performance of near-shore wind farm during 2012 Tohoku earthquake A devastating earthquake of moment magnitude M w 9.0 struck the Tohoku and Kanto regions of Japan on 12th March at 2:46 PM which also triggered a tsunami, see Fig. 10.1 for the location of the earthquake and the operating wind farms. The earthquake and the associated effects such as liquefaction and tsunami caused great economic loss, loss of life, and tremendous damage to structures and national infrastructures but very little damage to the wind farms. Extensive damage was also caused by the massive tsunami in many cities and towns along the coast. Fig. 10.2A shows photographs of Wind Energy Engin
