Abstract
In this paper we present the steps to establish a design of floating wind turbine in offshore area. In order to be able to design a floating wind turbine in the offshore area of the Black Sea, data about the wind potential, the potential of waves and sea currents are needed, as well as wave-wind cross-data and other atmospheric data. It is assumed that the location of the floating turbine is the area of the Galata platform, Varna, Bulgaria, located at 25 km south-east of the city of Varna in the South-West Black Sea area. The wind dataset can downloaded from a server in NetCDF file form. The spatial data are used to generate wind maps showing the distribution of the mean wind speed for the full-time distribution (i.e. total time) and for the four seasons, respectively.
