A process is disclosed for harvesting energy from wind energy on the high seas in all weather conditions, on a year-around basis. This process depends upon the use of sea-going platforms (2) which themselves achieve stability in the presence of storms at sea, doing so through the selective extraction of wave energy. The selective wave energy extraction takes place in such a way that the prevailing ratio of sea height to swell height affecting a typical sea-going platform (2) is reduced to a small fraction of the ratio of sea height to swell height which prevails at a distance from the platform (2). |
