Tropical storms and hurricanes pose a unique challenge for offshore wind farm development in the Gulf of Mexico and along the U.S. eastern seaboard. Several collaborative studies are currently underway to understand, model, and quantify the risks of tropical storms to offshore wind farms, including the Tropical and Extratropical Storm Impacts on Future Offshore Winds (TREXO) project led by Argonne National Laboratory.
