Evolution of floating offshore wind platforms: A review of at-sea

The history of the technology goes back to 1998, when it started as a floating wave energy converter idea. It continued as a wave energy converter until 2010, by which time the wave energy converter platform had been tested offshore from 2008–2009 [104]. In 2010, wind turbines were added to the floating structure and connected to the grid.
