11608605 · 2023-03-21 ·

Hydro Turbine unit producing 880 MW-h energy daily in offshore oceans creating average high-pressure compressed air transferable energy stored in air tanks and using generators to transform into local electrical energy. The harvesting of renewable offshore water energy of ocean wave, tidal and stream energy, converting it to accumulated water head potential energy in a large isolated water trapping pool structurally supported laterally by six tall towers extended to ocean maximum depth of 100 meter deep with arrow shape plungers pneumatic reciprocating hammering into seabed in slanted angle relative to seabed. The energized ocean water enters the trap pool through thousands of one-way check valves in the trap pool floor and surrounding walls. Large flow openings into 6 Hydro turbine manifolds direct swirling water through radial guiding vanes and conical converging top vertically downward through 8 turbine blades applying torque to turbine outlet shaft and flowing down to ocean level.

FLOATING HYDROELECTRIC POWERPLANT
20230082285 · 2023-03-16 · ·

A system that produces electricity offshore through a floating installation, including minimum of; one power production water turbine, one startup generator, a loop system, one air compressor, one high voltage subsea cable, and one control center; whereas the startup generator produces power for about 5-10 minutes before the loop system kicks in, an onshore control center makes it possible for the plant to be operated unmanned, where the surplus electricity generated through the water turbines are transported to the onshore electricity grid or another offshore structure, through a high voltage subsea cable.

20230126622 · 2023-04-27 · ·

The offshore jack-up has a hull and a plurality of moveable legs engageable with the seafloor. The offshore jack-up is arranged to move the legs with respect to the hull to position the hull out of the water. The method comprises moving at least a portion of a vessel underneath the hull of the offshore jack-up or within a cut-out of the hull when the hull is positioned out of the water and the legs engage the seafloor. A stabilizing mechanism mounted on the jack-up is engaged against the vessel. The stabilizing mechanism is pushed down on the vessel to increase the buoyant force acting on the vessel.

11473563 · 2022-10-18 · ·

An annular seal member comprising a seal body comprising a locating portion locatable against a wall element of an offshore structure, an inner surface, an outer surface and a lip portion that defines an open mouth of the seal member for receiving an elongate element therethrough; wherein the seal body is locatable against the wall element such that when a static pressure acting on the outer surface of the seal body exceeds a static pressure acting on the inner surface of the seal body a net positive pressure is exerted on the outer surface which at least partly deforms inwardly to provide a portion of the seal body for sealing against an outer surface of the elongate element. An offshore structure.

Device and method for upending a tubular element with a longitudinal direction from a support surface at an outer end

Described herein is a device for upending a tubular element with a longitudinal direction from a support surface at an outer end. The device has a support beam which runs substantially parallel to the support surface and is connected to the support surface at a support point. The support beam guides a coupling tool to which a wall part of an outer end of the tubular element can be coupled. The coupling tool is displaceable relative to the support surface with the support beam, from a clear position to a coupled position in which the tubular element outer end is engaged by the coupling tool. Also described herein, in addition to the device, is a method which makes use of the device.

METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN OFFSHORE FLOATING TOWER WIND TURBINE, AND CONTROL SYSTEM AND WIND TURBINE THAT USE THE METHOD

The invention relates to a control method for controlling an offshore floating tower wind turbine and to various systems and a wind turbine that use said method. The invention is mainly based on the control of the pitch angle of the blades of the wind turbine by means of power levels different from rated power, depending on the movement conditions to which the wind turbine is subjected at sea, and for above rated operating conditions wind speed. Owing to the described method, the invention allows the movements experienced by the wind turbine to be reduced, using the energy performance thereof more efficiently, without detriment to the service life thereof.
