海上风电场建设是风力发电技术的最新方向，随着近海风场深入开发，风场建设从近海到远海是其未来必然的发展趋势，随着海水深度的增加，风力机必须采用漂浮式平台作为基础。本文较为系统地考察了国外深海漂浮式风力机的早期历史、现状及最新研究进展，其中着重介绍了其理论分析、系统仿真和水动力学实验方面的研究，并进一步指出现有研究的种种不足，据此提出新的研究方向和设想。

Offshore wind farm is the latest direction of the wind power technology，with the further development of offshore wind farms technology，it is inevitable that future trend of offshore wind farms from offshore to deep sea. With increasing of sea- water depth，the cost of wind farm construction increased. The technology of floating wind turbine is an effective way to solve this problem. This paper systematically describes that early history，current situation and latest research of deep- sea floating wind turbine in the foreign academics，focuses on its theoretical analysis，simulation and hydrodynamic experimental，further refers to the shortcomings of that studies，accordingly propose some new research directions and ideas.
