Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to offshore substations, specifically to a prefabricated offshore substation cabin fixing clamp and an offshore substation. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development and progress of economy and civilization, the world is in an environment of vigorously developing a low-carbon economy. How to develop efficient, clean, and renewable new energy sources has become a common issue for countries around the world. Wind energy, with its large volume and zero pollution, is one of the renewable energy sources that has attracted great attention from countries around the world. Over the past few decades, the global installed capacity of wind power has increased by 28%, making it the "main force" of renewable energy power generation. The world's oceans cover a vast area, accounting for about 70% of the global surface, and offshore wind energy resources are about three times that of onshore wind energy resources, possessing abundant resource reserves and development prospects.

[0003] Offshore wind farms mainly consist of two core modules: wind turbines and offshore substations. As the heart of offshore wind power, the offshore substation is the core of the project's technology, possessing functions such as energy collection, voltage boosting, and transmission. Compared to conventional offshore substations, prefabricated modular substations can reduce the need for secondary beams and diagonal braces by combining modular prefabricated modules with the main structure, thus reducing the weight of the upper modules. Furthermore, by breaking down a monolithic substation into several separate structures, the number of work surfaces for structural construction and equipment installation is increased, effectively shortening the overall construction period. Therefore, modular prefabricated modular offshore substations represent the future development trend for offshore substations.

[0004] Currently, the prefabricated modules in prefabricated offshore substations are connected to the main structure by welding, with no other securing method available. As the core of offshore wind farms, offshore substations face harsh marine environments, making their safety paramount. Therefore, a new type of securing fixture for the prefabricated modules of offshore substations is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

The cladding plate is attached to the web of the bottom beam of the prefabricated cabin and welded together. The support plate is welded to the flange plate of the bottom beam of the prefabricated cabin and welded together. The bottom plate is attached to the flange plate of the main structure beam and welded together. The base is welded to the fixing plate as a whole. The thickness of the bottom plate is the same as the thickness of the flange plate of the bottom beam, and the height of the cladding plate is less than the height of the web of the bottom beam.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom beam of the prefabricated cabin is a square steel, the structural beam of the main structure is an H-beam, the cladding plate is attached to the side plate of the bottom beam of the prefabricated cabin and welded together, the bottom plate is attached to the flange plate of the structural beam of the main structure and welded together, and the base is welded to the fixing plate as a whole; the height of the cladding plate is less than the height of the square steel.
