Stabilized horizontal-axis wind turbine
11560876 · 2023-01-24 ·

The nacelle of a horizontal axis wind turbine is fixedly mounted on a tower, and the tower is mounted off-center with respect to a ring around which it is rotatable. The tower is a tripod. Two legs of the tripod are of fixed length and lie in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the turbine blades. The third leg of the tripod is of adjustable length and is aligned with the axis of rotation of the turbine blades. The third leg thus may be controlled to adjust for pitching of the base and other purposes. Multiple turbines, spaced apart laterally, may be mounted on a platform in a fixed orientation, with the platform rotatably mounted off-center relative to a base.

SYSTEM FOR AVOIDING DAMAGE TO POWER CABLES TO AND FROM AND WITHIN A FLOATING OFFSHORE WIND POWER PLANT
20230219662 · 2023-07-13 ·

A system for preventing damage to a power cable for electric power transmission to and from and within a floating offshore wind power plant using non-redundant mooring, after failure of a main loadbearing mooring element is described, comprising at least one power cable safety line having the following properties: It is connected to the same two wind turbines as the power cable it is designed to protect. It has an effective length shorter than the power cable it is designed to protect. It has an effective length longer than what is needed to remain largely unstressed when the distance between the floating wind turbines with intact mooring systems is at its maximum. It has a breaking strength being a predetermined fraction of the strength, which the main loadbearing mooring elements are designed for.
