![]() To realize this ambition, significant reductions in LCOE (levelized cost of energy) will be required across all key stages in the development of a floating wind farm. ![]() ![]() WindFloat Atlantic – Portugal (25 MW), Hywind Scotland (30 MW)), and there is a robust pipeline of projects which is expected to deliver 250 GW installed floating capacity by 2050 ( DNV, 2020 James and Ros, 2015). Several pilot- and demonstration-scale floating wind farms are now operational in different parts of the world (e.g. Numerous investigations for developing efficient and optimum floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) platforms and various innovative design concepts have been evolving in the last few years ( Uzunoglu et al., 2016 EWEA, 2013). ![]() This trend creates additional challenges in the design, installation, operation, maintenance and decommissioning phases of an offshore wind farm. Wind turbines are moving further offshore to deeper waters and are exploiting higher wind speeds in harsher environments ( McCann, 2016). ![]()
