This book provides an overview of floating offshore wind farms and focuses on the economic
aspects of this renewable-energy technology. It presents economic maps demonstrating the main
costs and explores various important aspects of floating offshore wind farms. It examines
topics including offshore wind turbines floating offshore wind platforms mooring and
anchoring as well as offshore electrical systems. It is a particularly useful resource in
light of the fact that most water masses are deep and therefore not suitable for fixed offshore
wind farms. A valuable reference work for students and researchers interested in naval and
ocean engineering and economics this book provides a new perspective on floating offshore wind
farms and makes a useful contribution to the existing literature.
