Abstract
A foundation device for a wind turbine tower includes a hollow main body with a lower face and an upper face. Both the lower face and the upper face contain a hollow space. Each of the faces include an outer perimeter and an inner perimeter. The main body additionally includes an outer lateral wall disposed between the outer perimeter of the lower face and the outer perimeter of the upper face, and an inner lateral wall between the inner perimeter of the lower face and the inner perimeter of the upper face. The device further includes a plurality of columns that project from the upper face of the main body.
Claims15
A foundation device for a wind turbine tower, the device being configured to be supported on the seabed, comprising:
- a hollow main body comprising:
- a lower face intended for being supported on the seabed;
- and
- an upper face opposite the lower face, wherein both the lower face and the upper face contain a hollow space, each of the faces thus comprising an outer perimeter and an inner perimeter;
- an outer lateral wall arranged between the outer perimeter of the lower face and the outer perimeter of the upper face;
- and
- an inner lateral wall between the inner perimeter of the lower face and the inner perimeter of the upper face;
- a plurality of columns that project from the upper face of the main body;
- and
- wherein the hollow space inside the upper face and lower face is such that the ratio between the transverse metacentric radius of the device and the cube root of the displacement volume is greater than 0.003.
