Abstract
a wind-driven power station mounted floating in deep water, comprising a machine house (8) including a generator (not s shown), regulating devices (not shown), rotor axle (9) and rotor blade (10), in which the machine house (8) is mounted at a tower (2) that mainly is floating in an upright position, and where the stability of the tower (2) is provided by means of ballast (5, 6) being placed in the lower part of the tower (2). The power station is kept in position and stabilized by means of anchor systems (12, 13, 14, 15, alternatively 16, 17, 18).
Claims12
A wind-driven power station that is mounted in the floating state, comprising a tower, which is floating, to an essential degree, in an upright position because the total center of gravity of the wind-driven power station is located below the buoyancy center of the wind-driven power station, wherein the wind-driven power station is positioned and stabilized by means of a torsionally rigid connection to the bottom of the sea.
