This article describes advances in floating offshore wind turbines and the potential for a powerful source of renewable energy.

uncertainties relating to wind speed, turbulence, shear profile, significant wave height, spectral peak period, and wave direction Billions of dollars are currently being invested in the floating offshore wind industry, as outlined by. To significantly lower the cost of a floating turbine, designers are easing away from the tall tower concept to alternative designs that require less steel to eliminate the mechanism that rotates the nacelle. The result should be a simpler design that is easier to construct so that the entire structure rotates to face the wind.
Energy scales exponentially with wind speed. Conventional turbines limit energy output above 11-12 m/s by pitching the blades. Wind Catching Systems , the developer of floating offshore wind technology, wasin 2017 with the idea that multi-turbines could maximize power generation from a concentrated area rather than a big turbine. Easy maintenance, durability, and simplicity were the guiding principles when the first Windcatcher was designed as a sail on a trimaran.
WCS’ design for a giant waffle-shaped frame contains at least 126 four-rotor wind turbines. The whole structure, standing as tall as the Eiffel Tower, would perch atop a floating platform, similar to those used by oil rigs. Utilizing the full energy in higher wind speeds and the multirotor effect, the Windcatcher system generates 2.5x more annual energy per swept area than a conventional turbine.
