ABSTRACT The contribution explores the significance of employing dry‐air technology as an efficient method for controlling and mitigating corrosion inside offshore wind turbine nacelles and towers. The article describes a dry‐air approach that curtails the necessity for costly corrosion protection measures and it explains its ability to diminish and regulate relative humidity. Additionally, it is outlined how the utilization of a dry‐air strategy results in the creation of an internal overpressure within the wind turbine structure. This overpressure effectively serves as a barrier against the ingress of moisture‐laden, salt‐infused air. Comparative site‐sensor data are presented and discussed for two dehumidification techniques. Finally, practical solutions are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
