With the deployment of the TetraSpar demonstrator, a significant cost-reduction is realized\nin the field of offshore floating wind turbines. The TetraSpar floating wind turbine foundation brings\na milestone that emphasizes on a modular and fully industrialized foundation that consists of main\ncomponents already widely available in the current wind energy supply chain. In an effort to provide\nan open approach to the development of the concept, this paper aims at giving a description of\nthe design in order to enable an educated discussion of different design philosophies and their\ninfluence on material usage and production times.
