Abstract
An offshore floating platform includes a plurality of aeolian generators having: an aeolian tower having a longitudinal extension and provided with a first and a second end; a blade-type aeolian generator positioned at the first end; and an engagement base positioned at the second end; a connection section, which joins two aeolian generators, including at least one connection element; wherein each engagement base is engaged with the connection element in such a way that each aeolian tower can move independently in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of longitudinal development of an aeolian tower.
Claims8
An offshore floating platform comprising:
- a plurality of aeolian generators, each aeolian generator comprising:
- an aeolian tower having a longitudinal extension and provided with a first and a second end;
- a blade-type aeolian generator positioned at a first end;
- an engagement base positioned at the second end;
- a connection section, which joins two aeolian generators, comprising at least one connection element;
- wherein each engagement base is engaged with the connection element, in such a way that each aeolian tower can move independently in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of longitudinal development of an aeolian tower;
- wherein each connection section further comprises at least one intermediate node;
- each intermediate node being engaged with two successive connection elements;
- wherein each intermediate node is free to move in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of longitudinal development of an aeolian tower in a manner substantially independent of the substantially vertical movement of another intermediate node and/or of an aeolian tower;
- wherein each connection element is engaged, by a respective connection plate, with:
- either an intermediate node or an engagement base at a first end;
- and
- either a further intermediate node or a further engagement base at a second end;
- wherein each connection element comprises a plurality of tubular elements that are parallel to each other;
- wherein the plurality of tubular elements and the connection plates form an articulated parallelogram;
- wherein each connection element comprises at least two tubular elements that are parallel to each other;
- wherein each tubular element is engaged, at one end thereof, with a connection plate by a hinge.
