The present application can achieve the tensioning of the first composite cable 2 only by the first rope 5, the second rope 6 and the first connecting piece 7, which saves costs and reduces the construction period.

[0027] Further, it also includes: a second composite cable 3 and a first tensioning device 11;

[0028] The second composite cable 3 is arranged on the outer wall of the wind turbine monopile foundation 1, and a reference electrode and / or an auxiliary anode are arranged on the second composite cable 3. The lower end of the second composite cable 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wind turbine monopile foundation 1 through a first lifting ear 14 arranged on the outer wall of the wind turbine monopile foundation 1 or on a lifting ear panel 12 fixed on the outer wall of the wind turbine monopile foundation 1.

[0029] Specifically, the second composite cable 3 is arranged on the outer wall of the wind power monopile foundation 1, and a reference electrode or an auxiliary anode is arranged on the second composite cable 3, or the reference electrode and the auxiliary anode are fixed at the same time, so as to realize the protection and corrosion monitoring of the outer wall of the wind power monopile foundation 1; the first tensioning device 11 and the first lifting ear 14 arranged on the lifting ear panel 12 on the outer wall of the wind power monopile foundation 1 are used to tension the two ends of the second composite cable 3 to prevent the second composite cable 3 from shaking when the waves surge, thereby destroying the protection and monitoring effects.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to enable the second composite cable to provide the best protection for the inner wall of the wind turbine monopile foundation 1 , the central axis of the first composite cable 2 coincides with the central axis of the wind turbine monopile foundation 1 .

[0040] Furthermore, in order to better maintain the wind power monopile foundation 1 and prevent its premature corrosion, the number of the second composite cable 3 and the third composite cable 4 are both more than two.
