A method and apparatus for generating electrical power from the wind at remote offshore sites taking advantage of the strong and more consistent winds found at a considerable distance from the shore. The power is generated from a plurality of wind turbines 4 deployed on vessels 1 anchored semi-permanently offshore, and stored in accumulators or batteries on a floating charging station (11 in figure 2). The charged accumulators are exchanged for empty accumulators, and the charged ones shipped to shore for discharge into a national grid. Preferably the vessel is a catamaran anchored at one end only, such that it will naturally turn into the wind. |
