Damping analysis of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs): a new control strategy reducing the platform vibrations [PDF]
In this paper, the coupled dynamics of the floating platform and the wind turbine rotor are analyzed. In particular, the damping is explicitly derived from the coupled equations of the rotor and floating platform. The analysis of the damping leads to the

Environmentally-driven design of a floating desalination platform (Case study: reverse osmosis floating desalination platform of ras gharib, Egypt) [PDF]
Las plantas de desalinización flotantes son tecnologías bastante nuevas y no son tan comunes como las plantas de desalinización terrestres tradicionales. Casi ninguno de los diseñadores de los proyectos propuestos o instalados indica que el diseño es impulsado por el medio ambiente, y solo unos pocos diseños son evaluados ambientalmente.
