1. IntroductionKatrina, Charley, Nina, Sandy and Yasi - these are some names that will leave the hearts and minds of those devastated by Mother Nature's sheer power of destruction. According to Lakshmi Kantha, “Hurricanes, more specifically tropical cyclones, have the potential to be highly destructive to coastal structures, habitats and communities” [1]. The European Wind Energy Association plans to install offshore wind farms with a rated output of 40 GW by 2020. and a rated output of 150 GW by 2030[2]. Professor Mark Z. Jacobson of Stanford conducted simulations in which huge arrays of offshore wind farms were used to try to reduce hurricane wind speeds. “We found that when wind turbines are present, they slow down the external rotation winds of a hurricane,” said Mark Jacobson [3]. Using their sophisticated climate-meteorological model, the researchers simulated hurricanes Katrina, Isaac and Sandy to examine what would happen if large wind farms, with tens of thousands of turbines, were in the path of the storms. They discovered that as the hurricane approached, the wind farm would move...
