Description

[0002] As the global demand for clean energy continues to increase, offshore wind power has become an important direction for global wind power development due to its advantages such as rich resources, high power generation efficiency and no occupation of onshore land resources. It is also conducive to promoting the transformation of energy structure.

[0003] Multi-pile steel cap-type offshore wind turbine foundation is widely used because of its good bearing capacity and moderate construction ship requirements. Multi-pile steel cap-type offshore wind turbine foundation includes: cap and multiple foundation piles. Now the cap is mostly made of steel, and the foundation piles are mostly made of steel pipe piles. Multiple steel pipe piles are driven into the seabed, and then the steel cap plug is inserted into the top of the steel pipe pile. High-strength grouting material is injected between the steel cap and the top of the steel pipe pile to form a stable wind turbine foundation. Then the tower of the wind turbine is set on the steel cap, and the wind turbine can be stably connected to the grid for power generation.

[0004] During the construction phase of an offshore wind farm, a construction power supply system needs to be set up. For example, wind farm equipment commissioning, engineering equipment (small cranes, welders, grouting material mixers, air compressors, etc.), handheld power tools, as well as temporary lighting equipment, temporary communication base stations, and construction monitoring equipment all require electricity. During the construction phase of an offshore wind farm, there is usually no condition for using shore power. Currently, temporary power supply is generally provided by the power supply system of a construction ship or a mobile diesel generator. However, on the one hand, the cost of transportation and use of diesel power generation is relatively high; on the other hand, the diesel used by diesel generators is not a clean energy source and will cause pollution. Summary of the invention

The electric energy generated by the wind power generation module and the hydropower generation module is transmitted to the construction power supply unit, which is uniformly distributed by the construction power supply unit. During the conventional operation stage of the offshore wind farm, the electric energy generated by the wind power generation module is supplied to the relevant power facilities and booster stations, and then transmitted to the power grid. In this application, during the construction stage of the offshore wind farm, the electric energy generated by the wind power generation module and the hydropower generation module is supplied to the tools, equipment, facilities, etc. that need electricity during the construction of the offshore wind farm, so as to meet various temporary electricity needs during the construction process. Moreover, the energy conversion submodule and its drainage submodule reasonably utilize the internal space of the pipe pile and the cap, and the construction of the construction power supply system is relatively small for the modification of the existing multi-pile steel cap type offshore wind turbine foundation and electrical equipment. The hydropower generation module uses seawater to generate electricity, and the power generation process is clean and pollution-free. Moreover, seawater can be obtained locally, is relatively easy to obtain, and has a low cost.

[0023] Beneficial Effects

[0024] When the construction power load is low, the energy conversion module does not work, and the seawater pumped out by the pumping device can be discharged in time through the drainage pipe to ensure that the seawater flowing through the hydroelectric generator can be temporarily stored in the space below the water-blocking platform when the energy conversion module generates electricity next time.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, the bottom ends of the first pipe pile and the second pipe pile are provided with a waterproof bottom seal.

[0026] Beneficial Effects

[0048] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0049] Combine the following Figure 1 An embodiment of the present invention is described. An embodiment of the present invention provides a construction power supply system based on a multi-pile steel cap type offshore wind turbine foundation. The construction power supply system includes a wind turbine foundation unit and a power generation unit. The wind turbine foundation unit includes: a first pipe pile 11, a second pipe pile 12 and a cap 13, the bottoms of the first pipe pile 11 and the second pipe pile 12 are connected through a connecting pipe 14, and the cap 13 is connected to the tops of the first pipe pile 11 and the second pipe pile 12. The power generation unit includes: a wind power generation module 21 and a hydropower generation module. The wind power generation module 21 is arranged on the foundation 13. The hydropower generation module includes: an energy conversion submodule 221 and a drainage submodule. The first pipe pile 11 is provided with a water inlet 2211, and the water inlet 2211 is located above the energy conversion submodule 221. The energy conversion submodule 221 is suitable for generating electricity by using seawater entering the first pipe pile 11 from the water inlet 2211. The drainage submodule is arranged on the second pipe pile 12. The drainage submodule includes: connected pumping facilities and drainage facilities, and one end of the drainage facility extends out of the outside of the wind turbine foundation unit. The pumping facility is used to pump the seawater in the second pipe pile 12 to the drainage facility, and the drainage facility is used to discharge the seawater to the outside of the wind turbine foundation unit. The construction power supply unit 3 is arranged on the foundation 13. The construction power supply unit 3 is connected to the wind power generation module 21 and the hydropower generation module, and the construction power supply unit 3 is connected to the power facilities through the power supply cable 31.

[0050] Specifically, the wind turbine foundation unit in this embodiment adopts the cap 13 and multiple pipe piles in the multi-pile steel cap type offshore wind turbine foundation, wherein the first pipe pile 11 is used to arrange the energy conversion submodule 221, and the second pipe pile 12 is used to arrange the drainage submodule. The number of the first pipe pile 11 and the second pipe pile 12 can be one or more. The first pipe pile 11 and the second pipe pile 12 will be driven into the seabed 6 to provide a stable support for the cap 13. And the internal space of the pipe pile is large enough for the energy conversion submodule 221 and the drainage submodule.

[0051] In addition, in order to cooperate with the energy conversion submodule 221 and the drainage submodule to achieve adjustable interval multiple power generation and simplify the equipment layout in each pipe pile, the bottom ends of the first pipe pile 11 and the second pipe pile 12 are connected through a connecting pipe 14 to achieve the flow of seawater between the pipe piles. Specifically, the connecting pipe 14 is buried in the seabed 6, and its setting position is close to the bottom ends of the first pipe pile 11 and the second pipe pile 12, so that the seawater in the first pipe pile 11 can be led to the second pipe pile 12, and the seawater retained in the first pipe pile 11 is reduced as much as possible. The connecting pipe 14 can be made of steel pipe or reinforced concrete pipe, and can be constructed by jacking or trenchless directional drilling. When the connecting pipe 14 is set, the axial direction of the connecting pipe 14 can be arranged horizontally, and the connecting pipe 14 can also be tilted downward at a certain angle to the side of the second pipe pile 12, so as to guide the seawater into the second pipe pile 12. The connecting pipe 14 is set to connect the internal space between the two pipe piles, and the energy conversion submodule 221 and the drainage submodule can be respectively set in different pipe piles, simplifying the equipment layout in each pile. The connecting pipe 14 also plays an auxiliary role in containing seawater, thereby increasing the power generation and power generation duration of hydroelectric power generation.

[0052] The connection mode of the cap 13 and the pipe pile is that the cap plug 131 is inserted from the top of the pipe pile. Specifically, the bottom end of the cap plug 131 is provided with a plug hollow bottom plate 1311, and the tops of the first pipe pile 11 and the second pipe pile 12 are both provided with a hollow mounting plate 16. After the cap plug 131 is inserted into the pipe pile, a seal 17 is provided between the plug hollow bottom plate 1311 and the hollow mounting plate 16, and grouting is performed between the plug hollow bottom plate 1311, the hollow mounting plate 16 and the seal 17 to connect the cap 13 and the pipe pile together.

[0053] The wind power generation module 21 in the power generation unit utilizes offshore wind energy to generate electricity, while the hydropower generation module utilizes seawater to generate electricity. The wind power generation module 21 is disposed on the support 13, and the wind power generation module 21 can select a conventional offshore wind power generation set.

[0054] The energy conversion submodule 221 and the drainage submodule in the hydroelectric power generation module need to work in coordination. Specifically, the water inlet 2211 is provided on the side wall of the first pipe pile 11, and a valve needs to be provided at the water inlet 2211 to control the on-off of the water inlet 2211 and the flow of seawater. The water inlet 2211 is located between the energy conversion submodule 221 and the sea surface 7, which means that the water inlet 2211 should be located below the sea surface 7 to facilitate direct access to seawater, and should also be located above the hydroelectric generator 2212 to facilitate the hydroelectric generator 2212 to generate electricity using the potential energy and kinetic energy of seawater. When hydroelectric power generation is needed, the water inlet 2211 is opened, and seawater flows into the first pipe pile 11 from the water inlet 2211, and the seawater drives the hydroelectric generator 2212 to generate electricity. After the water level in the first pipe pile 11 rises to the hydroelectric generator 2212, the power generation efficiency of the energy conversion submodule 221 begins to decrease. Therefore, after each hydroelectric power generation is completed, the seawater below the water-blocking platform 2213 in the first pipe pile 11 needs to be drained away through the drainage submodule to facilitate the next power generation of the hydroelectric generator 2212. Since the energy conversion submodule 221 has been set up in the first pipe pile 11, and the space below the water-blocking platform 2213 is limited, the drainage submodule is set up in the second pipe pile 12, and the first pipe pile 11 and the second pipe pile 12 are connected by a connecting pipe 14, so that the seawater in the first pipe pile 11 can flow into the second pipe pile 12, and the pumping facilities in the drainage submodule can pump the seawater into the drainage facilities, and the drainage facilities discharge the seawater to the outside of the fan base unit.

[0055] The construction power supply unit 3 is connected to the wind power generation module 21 through the wind turbine group collector cable 32, and is connected to the hydropower generation module 22 through the hydropower group collector cable 33. Wind power generation and hydropower generation are mutually complementary, and are controlled and regulated by the construction power supply unit 3 to transmit stable electric energy to meet the construction power demand and technical requirements. The construction power supply unit 3 is connected to the construction power facilities through the power supply cable 31 to provide electric energy for the construction power facilities. The electric energy generated by the wind power generation module 21 and the hydropower generation module 22 are all transmitted to the construction power supply unit 3, and are distributed to each construction power facility by the construction power supply unit 3. Specifically, the construction power supply unit 3 includes: a control device and a power transmission and transformation device connected thereto, and the control device preferably has an energy storage function. The control device is connected to the wind power generation module 21 and the hydropower generation module, that is, the wind power generation module 21 and the hydropower generation module transmit electric energy to the control device, and the control device then transmits the electric energy to the power transmission and transformation device, and the power transmission and transformation device provides relatively stable electric energy to the construction power facilities at other nearby operating locations for their use.

[0056] This construction power supply system can apply and adjust wind power generation and hydropower generation during the construction phase of the offshore wind farm, and can provide relatively stable electricity for welding, lighting, equipment debugging, etc. In the early stage of offshore wind turbine foundation construction, after the construction of the pipe piles and the cap 13 is completed, the wind power generation module 21 and the construction power supply unit 3 can be installed, and wind power generation can be used to provide electricity for subsequent construction including the construction of the hydropower module; immediately after the construction of the hydropower module is completed, wind power generation and hydropower generation can be used to provide electricity for subsequent construction. This construction power supply system solves the temporary construction power demand under the condition that the shore power is not available during the conventional offshore construction phase of the offshore wind farm, and this construction power supply system is based on the multi-pile steel cap type offshore wind turbine foundation for transformation, which will not occupy additional sea area, but reasonably utilizes the space inside the pipe pile. The structural changes and electrical equipment changes to the multi-pile steel cap type offshore wind turbine foundation are relatively small, which is convenient for construction. Among them, the hydropower module uses the most easily available and cheapest seawater in the ocean to generate electricity, and the entire power generation and power supply process is clean and pollution-free, and the cost is extremely low.

[0057] In one embodiment, a waterproof bottom seal 15 is disposed at the bottom ends of the first pipe pile 11 and the second pipe pile 12 .

[0058] The bottom ends of the first pipe pile 11 and the second pipe pile 12 are both located on the seabed 6. After the soil inside the pipe pile is removed, water in the soil of the seabed will seep out, and there is a possibility that seawater will seep into the pipe pile. A waterproof bottom seal 15 is provided at the bottom ends of the first pipe pile 11 and the second pipe pile 12 to prevent seawater from seeping into the pipe pile and occupying the internal space of the pipe pile. In addition, the waterproof bottom seal 15 can also serve as a working platform for construction and maintenance by workers, or as a support platform for arranging some equipment.

[0059] In one embodiment, the base 13 is provided with an operation and maintenance channel entrance 1312 within the top range of the first pipe pile 11 and the second pipe pile 12. By setting the operation and maintenance channel entrance 1312, the staff can enter the pipe piles from the base 13. The operation and maintenance channel entrance 1312 also serves as a vent, which can adjust the air pressure in the pipe pile when the hydropower module is working, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the hydropower module.

[0060] In one embodiment, the energy conversion submodule 221 includes: a hydroelectric generator 2212 and a water-blocking platform 2213. The water-blocking platform 2213 is arranged in the first pipe pile 11 and is located below the water inlet 2211. The water-blocking platform 2213 is sealed and connected to the first pipe pile 11 to prevent seawater leakage. The water-blocking platform 2213 has a water pipe 2214, and the hydroelectric generator 2212 is arranged in the water pipe 2214. The arrangement of the hydroelectric generator 2212 in the water pipe 2214 can realize that all seawater flows from the water pipe 224 through the hydroelectric generator 2212, and the seawater drives the hydroelectric generator 2212 to generate electricity.

[0061] In one embodiment, the energy conversion submodule 221 further includes: a control gate valve 2215 , which is disposed at the water outlet end of the water pipe 2214 .

[0062] The water pipe 2214 is provided with a control gate valve 2215, so that the on-off of the water outlet of the water pipe 2214 can be controlled. Specifically, when the diameter of the water pipe is small, the control gate valve 2215 can be a valve, and when the diameter of the water pipe is large, the control gate valve 2215 can be a gate.

[0063] The control gate valve 2215 can be set to control whether the hydroelectric generator 2212 can generate electricity. Even if seawater flows in from the water inlet 2211, the hydroelectric generator 2212 cannot continue to generate electricity after the control gate valve 2215 is closed. In this way, when the power generation is stopped, a part of seawater can be stored above the water-blocking platform 2213 to form a head difference when hydroelectric power generation is needed, which is conducive to the start-up and operation of the hydroelectric generator 2212.

[0064] In one embodiment, the pumping facility includes: a plurality of pumping components 2221 spaced apart along the height direction of the second pipe pile 12 , and the construction power supply unit 3 is electrically connected to the pumping components 2221 .

[0065] Specifically, a plurality of pumping parts 2221 can be arranged at different heights in the second pipe pile 12, and the pumping parts 2221 are preferably water pumps. In the present embodiment, two water pumps are arranged, one of which is arranged on the waterproof bottom 15 at the bottom end of the second pipe pile 12, and the other is arranged on the operation and maintenance platform 42 above it, and is roughly at the same horizontal position as the hydroelectric generator 2212. Starting the water pump can pump out the water in the second pipe pile 12. Since the water pump needs to be driven by electricity, each water pump can be connected to the construction power supply unit 3, and the construction power supply unit 3 uses the electric energy of the wind power generation module 21 for power supply.

[0066] The combined use of multiple pumps can meet the lift requirements and smoothly discharge the seawater to the outside of the fan foundation assembly. Moreover, it can be powered by the construction power supply unit 3 without external power supply.

[0067] In one embodiment, the drainage facility includes: a drainage pipe 2222 , the drainage pipe 2222 is connected to the water outlet of the pumping member 2221 , and one end of the drainage pipe 2222 extends out of the second pipe pile 12 .

[0068] Specifically, the drain pipe 2222 is arranged in the vertical direction, and the drain pipe 2222 is connected to each pumping member 2221 (i.e., a pump), and the other end extends upward, passes through the hollow mounting plate 16 of the second pipe pile 12, the hollow bottom plate 1311 of the plug tip 131 of the cap 13, and finally passes through the operation and maintenance channel entrance 1312 of the cap 13. The pump can discharge seawater back into the ocean after pumping seawater into the drain pipe 2222, and a valve can also be provided at the outlet of the drain pipe 2222.

[0069] After the drainage pipe 2222 is set, seawater can be transported from the bottom to the top of the second pipe pile 12, and the seawater used for power generation by the energy conversion module 221 can be discharged, ensuring that there is enough space inside the first pipe pile 11 and the second pipe pile 12 to temporarily store the seawater flowing through the hydroelectric generator 2212, so as to facilitate the next power generation work of the energy conversion module 221.

[0070] In one embodiment, the energy conversion submodule 221 further includes: a first cavern 2216 and a second cavern 2217, wherein the first cavern 2216 is disposed on and communicated with the first pipe pile 11, and the first cavern 2216 is located between the surface of the seabed 6 and the energy conversion submodule 221, the second cavern 2217 is disposed on and communicated with the first pipe pile 11, and the second cavern 234 is located below the hydropower generation module 22. The first cavern 2216 generally retains some seawater inside, but the second cavern 2217 is generally in an empty state.

[0071] Seawater enters the first pipe pile 11 from the water inlet 2211. When the control gate valve 2215 is closed, the seawater can be retained in the first cavern 2216. In this way, during the next hydroelectric power generation, the first cavern 2216 cooperates with the water inlet 2211 to increase the power generation time and power generation of the hydroelectric generator 2212. At the same time, when the power demand is large and the flow rate of the water inlet 2211 is relatively small and cannot meet the technical requirements for the operation of the hydroelectric generator, the seawater pre-stored in the first cavern 2216 can have the effect of buffering and regulating.

[0072] In one embodiment, the construction power supply system also includes an operation and maintenance component arranged on the first pipe pile 11 and the second pipe pile 12, and the operation and maintenance component includes: an operation and maintenance channel 41 and an operation and maintenance platform 42, and the operation and maintenance channel 41 and the operation and maintenance platform 42 arranged in the same pipe pile are connected.

[0073] The maintenance channel 41 enables the staff to enter the pile from the maintenance channel entrance 1312 of the foundation 13, and the staff can carry out relevant work when they arrive at the maintenance platform 42. Since both the water-proof platform 2213 and the water-proof bottom 15 can also serve as the maintenance platform 42, in this embodiment, the maintenance channel 41 is set in both the first pile 11 and the second pile 12, and only one maintenance platform 42 is set in the second pile 12 as the bearing platform of the pumping unit 231.

[0074] In one embodiment, the construction power supply system further includes auxiliary facilities arranged on the wind turbine base unit.

[0075] Specifically, the auxiliary facilities include: a fender 51, a ladder 52 and a railing 53. The fender 51 is arranged on the outer wall of the first pipe pile 11 and the second pipe pile 12 to facilitate the docking of the ship. The ladder 52 is arranged on the foundation 13 and the pipe pile. The railing 53 is arranged on the main platform 132 of the foundation 13 to play a protective role.

[0076] The working process of the construction power supply system provided in this embodiment is described below:

[0077] The power generation process of the wind power generation module 21 is the same as the power generation process of a conventional offshore wind turbine generator set using wind energy, which will not be described in detail here. The electric energy generated by the wind power generation module 21 can be transmitted to the construction power supply unit 3 through the wind turbine generator set collector cable 32.

[0078] The power generation process of the hydroelectric power generation module is as follows:

[0079] Normally, the water inlet 2211 is opened to allow some seawater to be pre-stored in the space above the water-blocking platform 2213 in the first pipe pile 11 and in the first cavern 2216 .

[0080] When hydroelectric power generation is needed, the water inlet 2211 is opened to allow seawater to enter the first pipe pile 11. The seawater drives the hydroelectric generator 2212, which generates electricity using the kinetic energy and potential energy of the seawater and transmits the electric energy to the construction power supply unit 3 through the hydroelectric unit collector cable 24. The construction power supply unit 3 transmits the electric energy to the power facilities at the construction location.

[0081] During hydroelectric power generation, seawater falls from the hydroelectric generator 2212 to the bottom of the first pipe pile 11, and flows into the second pipe pile 12 through the connecting pipe 14. When the construction power load is low, the pumping member 2221 works to extract seawater and transport it to the drain pipe 2222, and then discharges it to the outside of the foundation 13 through the drain pipe 2222.

[0082] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the appended claims.
