Abstract
Wind turbines are installed on floating platforms. Each platform is connected to a central platform in a star like topology. Energy generated from a group of floating platforms is sent to the central platform over under sea coaxial cables. The central platform is connected via a transformer to the national electricity grid on shore. The grid is national in scope and transports energy to serve the needs for electricity for the whole country, such that multiple sources of generation and multiple utilities connect to it at various locations. The utilities distribute the electricity to customers in their jurisdiction. Solar panels can be mounted on racks between rows/columns of wind turbines. The central platform has housing/shelter/building for equipment used for integration as well as for management of turbines and solar panels.

8. A system of off-shore floating wind turbine platforms for generating electricity comprising:
-
a mother platform; at least one child platform; at least one ferry; wherein each child platform contains multiple turbines for generating electricity; and the turbines include miniature cameras installed in the nacelle; and the turbines are made from materials with high strength to weight ratio and corrosion resistant; and the turbine is capable of supporting a gearbox in the nacelle to multiply the incoming rotor speed into higher speed driving the generator; and the gearbox can be switched in when the speed of the wind is low for optimum operation.
