    The vigorous development of wind power generation technology is the core path for the country to promote the low-carbon energy transformation and realize the "dual-carbon" (carbon peaking and carbon neutrality) goals. With the gradual saturation of the development of onshore and offshore wind power resources, wind power development from the near-shore to the distant deep sea is the inevitable trend of the future development of the wind power industry. The research and development and optimization of floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) platforms is the key to promoting the development of offshore wind power in distant deep sea areas. Based on an analysis of the current development status of FOWT platforms at home and abroad, this paper further analyzes the current research status of aerodynamic loads, hydrodynamic loads, mooring systems, coupling analysis methods and commonly used numerical simulation tools in the design of FOWT platforms, and focuses on sorting out the key technological ideas and constitutive features of FOWT platforms that are driven by the enhancement of structural stability and the reduction of costs. By summarizing the current research status of FOWT platform optimization, we can forecast the problems and challenges in the design of FOWT platforms with a view to providing technical references for researchers in related fields.
