Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to marine renewable energy power generation technology and marine industry development technology, and in particular to a floating equipment based on multi-energy complementarity and multi-industry integration. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing prominence of global energy, resource, and environmental issues, especially the growing severity of global climate change, there is an urgent need to accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of energy, presenting a development opportunity for marine energy utilization. Marine energy includes sea breezes, waves, and solar radiation. Among these, wind energy is the most maturely applied, with abundant offshore wind resources and broad development prospects. Wave motion contains enormous energy, with high energy density, wide distribution, easy direct utilization, clean and pollution-free operation, and inexhaustible resources. Furthermore, compared to terrestrial photovoltaics, offshore photovoltaics require less land while generating 5%-10% more electricity, due to the open and unobstructed water surface, longer sunshine hours, and reflected sunlight.

[0003] While marine renewable energy holds immense promise, the construction and operation costs of traditional single-energy marine renewable energy equipment are high, and the transmission and utilization of marine renewable energy are challenging. Furthermore, the development of emerging marine industries such as deep-sea aquaculture, offshore hydrogen production, and methane-methanol synthesis faces problems of insufficient energy supply and unreliable offshore platforms. Therefore, the industry urgently needs to develop a simple, wave-resistant, safe, widely applicable, and economically viable floating platform based on multi-energy complementarity, integrating multiple industries. This platform could effectively utilize marine renewable energy while addressing energy supply and space utilization issues in marine industries, significantly contributing to the more efficient and rational development and utilization of my country's marine resources. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a floating equipment based on multi-energy complementarity and multi-industry integration.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A multi-energy complementary, multi-industry integrated floating equipment includes a floating foundation, a large-megawatt horizontal-axis wind turbine generator, a tower, solar photovoltaic panels, an oscillating float-type wave energy device, aquaculture cages, production and living facilities, and a mooring system. The floating foundation supports the superstructure and includes rectangular pontoons, bilge keels, main columns, secondary columns, main beams, secondary beams, a lower deck, inter-deck columns, inter-deck beams, and an upper deck. The bilge keels are located outside the long side of the pontoons and away from the roll center of the floating foundation. The main columns and secondary columns are positioned between the pontoons and the main beam to support the main beam. The secondary beams are arranged above the main beam, and the main beam and secondary beams together form a stable spatial frame. The lower deck is located on this spatial frame. The structure comprises: a lower deck with inter-layer columns supporting the inter-layer beams; an upper deck positioned on the inter-layer beams; a large-megawatt horizontal-axis wind turbine generator offset from the midpoint of the short side of the bow of the floating foundation via the tower for wind power generation; solar photovoltaic panels on the upper deck for photovoltaic power generation; an oscillating buoy-type wave energy device positioned between the buoys and the main beams and around the aquaculture cages for wave energy generation; aquaculture cages positioned below the lower deck, forming at least one aquaculture space in the open area of ​​the floating foundation for fish farming; production and living facilities on the lower deck; and a mooring system connected to the floating foundation to connect it to the seabed and constrain its horizontal movement.

[0007] The floating equipment based on multi-energy complementarity and multi-industry integration (hereinafter also referred to as "floating equipment") of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0008] (1) The floating foundation of the present invention is a semi-submersible foundation with good wave resistance, high safety, wide applicability, good economy, wide range of water depth adaptability, and large effective load. Since the pontoon is similar to a catamaran and has a long bilge, the bilge keel set on the pontoon can reduce the roll response of the floating equipment. The present invention provides a reliable marine platform.

[0009] (2) The floating foundation of the present invention has a huge internal space, and deep-sea aquaculture can be carried out by setting up aquaculture cages.

[0010] (3) The extra-long space between the pontoon and the main beam of the floating foundation of the present invention is used to install an oscillating float-type wave energy device. While generating electricity using wave energy, the oscillating float-type wave energy device can reduce the energy of the incident waves and reduce the impact of waves on the life of fish inside the aquaculture cage. In addition, installing the oscillating float-type wave energy device on the outside of the aquaculture cage also facilitates later maintenance.

[0011] (4) The floating foundation of the present invention has upper and lower decks. The upper deck supports a large number of lightweight solar photovoltaic panels for solar power generation. In a preferred embodiment, the upper deck is also equipped with several satellite antennas for constructing a marine communication base station. The lower deck serves as a production and living platform, equipped with production and living facilities. In a preferred embodiment, activities such as fish feeding, fish harvesting, seawater desalination, hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, methane-methanol synthesis, marine communication, environmental monitoring, and recreation can be carried out on it. In addition, in a preferred embodiment, the lower deck is also equipped with a crane and a helicopter landing pad for the transfer of personnel and materials.

[0012] (5) A large-megawatt horizontal axis wind turbine generator is installed on one side of the floating foundation of the present invention, which facilitates installation and maintenance. In addition, wind power generation can complement solar and wave power generation to provide energy supply for production and living facilities.

[0013] (6) In a preferred embodiment, the fish feeding module of the present invention also absorbs a large amount of seawater onto the lower deck while collecting fish, and the seawater after fish separation can be directly used for water electrolysis to produce hydrogen, reducing the power consumption of additional water pumping.

[0014] (7) In a preferred embodiment, the oxygen generated by the electrolytic hydrogen production system in the chemical energy storage module of the present invention can be used to increase oxygen in aquaculture cages when oxygen is insufficient (such as during rainy and hot weather), thereby reducing aquaculture losses.

[0015] (8) In a preferred embodiment, since the solar photovoltaic panel and the oscillating float wave energy device in this invention have a smaller power generation capacity than the large megawatt horizontal axis wind turbine generator set, the electrical energy generated can be used for the impressed current cathodic protection of the floating foundation and mooring system.

[0016] (9) In the preferred embodiment, the restoring stiffness of the mooring can be increased by increasing the weight of the counterweight of the mooring anchor chain and the length of the lying section, so as to enhance the restraint of the mooring system on the movement of the floating equipment.
