Harnessing the Potential of Floating Offshore Wind

This chapter explores the transformative prospects of floating offshore wind technology, particularly its ability to operate in deeper waters where traditional turbines cannot. It discusses the current state and future potential of floating wind in the U.S. and the engineering challenges related to deployment, including issues with water depth and power transmission. Additionally, it highlights innovations in turbine designs and ongoing research that pave the way for cleaner energy generation from floating wind farms.
