ABSTRACT:
A method for determining a site for an offshore wind turbine includes determining a plurality of possible site locations, and positioning an offshore assembly at at least one of the possible site locations, wherein the assembly includes a floating support structure, a tower extending upwardly from the floating support structure, equipment coupled to the tower, and a counter-balance system coupled to the floating support structure at a location below a center of gravity of the floating support structure. The method further includes measuring conditions at the at least one of the possible site locations using the equipment, and determining a site for the offshore wind turbine from the at least one of the possible site locations based on the conditions of the plurality of possible site locations.
