Abstract

Proizvodnja energije iz obnovljivih izvora energije je ključna za razvoj društva. Sve je potrebnije proizvesti veće količine energije, a štetni produkti koji nastaju iz neobnovljivih izvora energije razvili su potražnju za proizvodnjom energije iz obnovljivih izvora. Odobalne vjetroelektrane su se pokazale kao odličan odabir obnovljivog izvora energije. U radu je dan teorijski pregled izazova na odobalnim vjetroturbinama. Glavni izazov predstavlja prirodni proces korozije. Radi se o procesu koji nije moguće u potpunosti ukloniti ili zaustaviti, ali se može raznim metodama usporiti, odnosno može se produljiti vijek trajanja nekog materijala. Kroz rad je napravljena analiza metoda zaštitnih od korozije te njihova poboljšanja potaknuta razvojem i sve masovnijom izgradnjom vjetroelektrana. Odobalne vjetroelektrane su vrlo specifične zbog agresivnog medija u kojem se nalaze te zbog udaljenosti od obale koja otežava redovite kontrole. Zbog toga je posebno razmatrana i mogućnost daljinskog nadzora korozije na vjetroelektranama. Analiziran je i razvoj samih odobalnih vjetroelektrana te njihova budućnost.

Abstract (english)

The production of energy from renewable sources is crucial for the development of society. There is an increasing need to generate greater amounts of energy, and the harmful products that come from non-renewable energy sources have created a demand for energy generation from renewable sources. Offshore wind farms have proven to be an excellent choice for renewable energy sources. The paper provides a theoretical overview of the challenges faced by offshore wind farms. The biggest challenge is the natural corrosion process. It is a process that cannot be completely removed or stopped, but it can be slowed down by various methods, i.e. the lifetime of a material can be extended. This study analyzes the methods of corrosion protection and their improvements, which are driven by the development and increasing construction of wind farms. Offshore wind farms are special because of the aggressive medium in which they are located and their distance from the coast, which makes regular inspection difficult. Therefore, special attention has been paid to the possibility of remote monitoring of corrosion in wind farms. The development of offshore wind farms themselves and their future are also analyzed.
