Abstract
A floating body for an offshore wind turbine includes: one first column; two second columns; two lower hulls connecting the first column to each of the second columns; and a beam member connecting the two lower hulls. The beam member is disposed within a height range between an upper surface and a lower surface of each lower hull.
Claims22
A floating body for an offshore wind turbine, comprising:
- one first column;
- two second columns;
- two lower hulls connecting the first column to each of the second columns;
- and
- a beam member connecting the two lower hulls,
- wherein the beam member is disposed within a height range between an upper surface and a lower surface of each lower hull, and
- wherein a connecting portion between the beam member and each lower hull is located on the lower hull between a first connection position where the first column is connected and a second connection position where the second column is connected.
