Abstract
Wind power has established itself as a viable renewable energy source, offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels and contributing significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Among the various implementations of wind energy, Offshore Wind Turbines (OWTs) have gained prominence due to their higher efficiency and ability to access more consistent wind resources compared to their onshore counterparts. Recent technological advancements have fueled a rapid global increase in the installation of Offshore Wind Farms, particularly Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs), which can be deployed in deeper waters where traditional fixed-bottom structures are not feasible. However, the design and deployment of FOWTs present unique challenges, especially in the areas of structural integrity, cost-efficiency, and environmental impact.
Engineers face significant technical and economic hurdles when developing reliable floating platforms that can endure harsh marine conditions while maintaining long-term viability
