Abstract
Floating axis wind turbine is a new concept for reducing the cost of offshore wind energy by using the tilted cross flow wind turbine floating in water. Since construction of high tower of horizontal axis wind turbine is expensive in ocean environment, the floating axis turbine configuration will be an alternative solution for large-capacity offshore wind turbine. The paper provides the description of the concept and sample design of the design.
