Currently, as per the draft issued in May 2020 by the Government of India, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Resources on the issue to generate 1GW power from offshore technology and to explore the wind design data for the tower, we investigated the Paradeep site near Odisha and collected some wind data for design purposes. In this paper, the main consideration is given to the exploration of the tower design criteria at the offshore condition and also seeks the effect of wind speeds, wind veer, wind shear, turbulence, tides, ocean currents, lightning, fatigue, etc. on the towers, which are currently the major issues for the Indian conditions (like Chennai) to measure wind data at particular heights. Also, this paper seeks to calculate the design wind data up to 150m height which would produce more power output and would fill the gap of electricity in power deficient states of India, like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, etc.
