Short summary
Wind energy is one of the pillars to accomplish the future objectives established by governments with regard to the reduction in emissions of CO2 expected by 2050. Wind energy usage increase will only be possible if more efficient and durable wind turbines are designed. In addition, such increases in wind energy installation worldwide can only be achieved if floating wind turbine design is mature enough. With this purpose a new tool to design and optimize floating wind turbines is presented.
