There are certain deficiencies in current multi - energy platforms. First, the design scheme of existing platforms places some power generation equipment underwater. This design is not conducive to the maintenance and repair of equipment, compresses the storage space of oil sources, and cannot achieve system ballast adjustment. Second, in the open - sea area, the waves are large, and the swaying of the platform easily causes failures in the power supply equipment during operation, reducing the power generation efficiency of the system.

[0014] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown in the figure, the hybrid deep-sea offshore floating platform includes an equipment mounting tray 1, an oil storage tank 4, and a mooring system 5. Above the equipment mounting tray 1, there is an equipment cabin 6 and a wind turbine 25. Below it, there is an anti-shock floating cylinder 2 connected. The lower end of the anti-shock floating cylinder 2 is installed on the hatch cover 8 of the oil storage tank 4. The equipment cabin 6 is connected to a load 26. The equipment cabin 6 includes an oil pump 61, a generator 62, a rectifier 63, a storage battery 64, and a hydraulic pump 65 that are interconnected. The generator 62 and the storage battery 64 are connected to a first controller 66. The hydraulic pump 65 is connected to a second controller 67, and the second controller 67 is powered by the storage battery 64. The oil storage tank 4 includes two concentric oil tanks. The inner one is a diesel tank 20, and the outer one is a hydraulic oil tank 21. In the middle of the mounting tray 1, there is a through hole 10 for connecting an oil delivery pipeline 3. The oil pump 61 is connected to the diesel tank 20 in the oil storage tank 4 through the oil delivery pipeline 3. The oil pump 61 provides energy for the generator 62. One end of the hydraulic pump 65 is connected to the anti-shock floating cylinder 2, and the other end leads into the hydraulic oil tank 21 in the oil storage tank 4. The rectifier 63 is connected to the wind turbine 25 through a transmission cable 24. The wind energy generated by the wind turbine 25 is converted into electrical energy through the built-in generator of the wind turbine 25 and stored in the storage battery 64 through the rectifier 63. As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 shown, the mooring system 5 includes a tension leg 22 and an anchor structure 23. The anchor structure 23 is directly connected to the seabed. The tension leg 22 is installed on the surface of the oil storage tank 4 through a mounting surface 9. The cross-section of the tension leg 22 is a right trapezoid with a variable cross-section. As Figure 4 , Figure 5 shown, the anti-shock floating cylinder 2 includes a first floating cylinder 13, a second floating cylinder 14, and a third floating cylinder 15. The first floating cylinder 13 includes 2 pistons 16 and a connecting rod 17. There is a connecting rod 17 between the 2 pistons 16. The pistons 16 are connected to the tray 1 through the connecting rod 17. Inside the first floating cylinder 13, there is a sensor that wirelessly transmits with the controller 67. The second floating cylinder 14 and the third floating cylinder 15 have the same structure, including a movable hinge 18 and a connecting rod slider 19. At the connection between the lower part of the equipment mounting tray 1 and the connecting rod slider 19, there is an installation guide rail 11, and it is installed on the installation guide rail 11 with a certain degree of freedom. The movable hinge 18 includes an upper connecting rod 181, a lower connecting rod 182, and a hinge 183 connecting the upper connecting rod 181 and the lower connecting rod 182. One degree of freedom is released to avoid movement interference of the upper connecting rod 181. As Figure 3 shown, at the connection between the lower part of the equipment mounting tray 1 and the anti-shock floating cylinder 2, there is a protective cover 12 to prevent seawater from corroding the anti-shock floating cylinder 2.

[0015] In use, the fan 25 operates continuously. Wind energy is transferred by the blades of the fan 25 to the main shaft of the fan 25 to generate electrical energy, which is then input into the rectifier 63 through the transmission cable 24 and then transferred to the battery 64. Diesel is stored in the diesel tank 20. Under the action of the oil pump 61, diesel is transported through the oil supply pipeline 3 to the generator 62. Electrical energy generated by the generator 62 is transmitted to the rectifier 63 and then transferred to the battery 64. The generator 62 provides a compensating output when the output power of the fan 25 is insufficient. The battery 64 and the generator 62 are connected to the first controller 66. When the output power is insufficient, the first controller 66 automatically turns on the generator 62 and the oil pump 61 to start hybrid power supply. The battery 64 is connected to the load 26 to supply power to the load 26. When the equipment-mounted tray 1 shakes violently, the sensor in the first float 13 sends a signal to the second controller 67. The second controller 67 sends a signal to the hydraulic pump 65, and the hydraulic pump 65 starts to work and injects hydraulic oil from the hydraulic oil tank 21 into the first float 13 to realize the lifting of the first float 13. The sensor continuously transmits the hydraulic oil position and shaking information to the second controller 67, so as to keep the platform level. The hinge structures of the second float 14 and the third float 15 ensure the degrees of freedom of the system.
