Abstract: A floating wind power platform is suitable for offshore deployment in deep-sea environments. The platform includes a tower that supports a wind turbine and a base support structure that is stabilized by a combination of stabilizers, struts, and floats. The platform furthermore includes a set of propellers and an electronic motion control system to control position and orientation relative to the wind. The floating wind power platform may be deployed in groups of connected platforms tethered to a centralized fuel production platform, carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration platform, or other processing platform that transforms and/or utilizes energy captured from the wind power platforms.
