HAWTs require an especially large platform to make them stable, (because of their high C of G, VAWT’s are a better choice) and that structure is completely UNproductive. A dynamic platform could be built using the same material content and it would harvest wave energy as a function of stabilizing the wind turbine.

Two technologies sharing one vessel is bound to reduce the LCOE of both, and the design has a shallow draft too, so it could well supersede current sea bed foundations. That would in turn slash installation and O&M costs by eliminating the need for special jack-up barges.

It’s the hardest renewable, because it uses the worst possible environment for machinery this side of Venus..
