Yes, floating wind is a growing research area that may be successfully commercialized within the next 10 years. There are a variety of different substructure concepts, some of which have been tried at full-scale, though not quite this large. A recent example is the Tetraspar project [1]. The primary motivation for floating wind is the ability to access areas of the ocean with high levels of wind resources that have water depths which make it uneconomical to construct and install a monopile foundation.
