Abstract :
A wind power plant or wind farm is a collection of several wind turbines located in one place. A large wind farm can consist of several hundred wind turbines. Such a complex can be located on the sea. Offshore floating wind power, an emerging technology in the offshore wind industry, has attracted increasing attention due to its potential to cooperate with other renewable energies to decarbonize energy systems. The environmental effects of floating offshore wind farms in deep sea areas should be considered and methods to enhance the low-carbon effect should be devised. Few studies have been conducted to evaluate the environmental effects of offshore floating wind farms, but the scale of these studies was relatively small. In the future offshore wind farm, more baseline data should be collected to improve the reliability of LCA. The effects of floating offshore wind farm on marine ecology and physical atmospheric properties should be investigated in depth. Keywords: deep sea area, offshore wind, offshore wind farm, life cycle assessment, environmental impacts, greenhouse gas emissions,
