![]() Market transition to deeper waters is inevitable, provided that suitable technologies can be developed. Fixed offshore turbines are limited in water depth to ∼ 30 – 50 m. It is agreed by most experts that the offshore wind industry will see a significant increase in activity in the near future. Technologies for floating foundations for offshore wind turbines are evolving. Potential redesign of the tower and of the turbine control software can be expected. ![]() It is designed to accommodate a wind turbine, 5 MW or larger, on one of the columns of the hull with minimal modifications to the nacelle and rotor. The WindFloat is a three-legged floating foundation for multimegawatt offshore wind turbines. This manuscript summarizes the feasibility study conducted for the WindFloat technology.
