abstract = "In this chapter, a review of some of the prototype FOWT devices that have been deployed to-date is presented. The technologies overviewed throughout the chapter are: Principle Power{\textquoteright}s semisubmersible WindFloat device; the Hywind spar under development by Statoil; the Goto Island project in Japan and the SWAY system.",

note = "Funding Information: The WindFloat Pacific Project, awardee of the Department of Energy (DOE) Offshore Wind Advanced Technology Demonstration Projects funding, is located in Oregon and, when constructed, will be the first offshore wind farm in the US west coast. Funding Information: In the Goto Island Project, funded by the Ministry of the Environment, Japan, a pre-stressed concrete (PC)-steel hybrid spar has been developed. The hybrid spar consists of PC rings at the bottom part and steel cylindrical shells at the upper part. Figure 28 shows the general view of the prototype model and Fig. 29 shows the dimensions of the same model. There is an expectation that using concrete for the bottom part will be beneficial for reducing the CAPEX. Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.",
