The design and installation of support structures for offshore wind turbines in regions prone to severe weather conditions, such as Vietnam, where typhoons are frequent are critical. The need for robust design strategies that can withstand extreme wind and wave loads is emphasized. A review of different types of fixed support structures, including monopiles, steel space frames, and concrete foundations, while considering the challenges of installation, soil conditions, and cost is carried out. The study highlights the importance of selecting appropriate support structures to extend the water depth limits for fixed wind turbines to 100 meters, thereby enhancing the feasibility of offshore wind pro-jects in Vietnam. The logistical and economic aspects, such as the availability of installation vessels and the potential for local fabrication, are crucial for the successful deployment of offshore wind farms in harsh environments.
