Preface
The average-term energy strategies show the ocean as one of the main sources of renewable energy. Therefore, reaching new solutions to exploit the ocean energy has become one of the main objectives of research and development in the field of renewable energies. Nowadays, offshore wind farms have come true and shallow water regions with high wind resources have already been assigned. Thus, the next step in this field is to go into deep water regions. It is in these regions where floating offshore wind platforms should be taken into consideration. The main objective of this book is to provide an overview about floating offshore wind farms, whose study is still being developed. In this sense, ten chapters have been developed. They talk about present and future perspectives of floating offshore wind farms (Present and Future of Floating Offshore Wind), their life cycle (LifeCycle Cost of a Floating Offshore Wind Farm) and economic aspects of their feasibility (Economic Feasibility of Floating Offshore Wind Farms), the types of fl
