Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an integrated floating platform for offshore wind power, photovoltaic systems, and aquaculture systems, belonging to the field of comprehensive marine resource application technology. Background Technology
[0002] The issue of clean energy consumption has always been prominent. The ocean not only contains abundant clean energy sources such as solar, wind, and tidal energy, but is also close to coastal power load centers, which can effectively enable the local or nearby consumption of clean energy.
[0003] The "Action Plan for Peak Carbon Production by 2030" points out that it is necessary to adhere to the principle of giving equal importance to land and sea, promote the coordinated and rapid development of wind power, improve the offshore wind power industry chain, and encourage the construction of offshore wind power bases. Currently, China's offshore wind power industry is rapidly expanding, and the overall industry is gradually maturing. At the same time, new technologies such as offshore photovoltaic systems and marine aquaculture are also continuously developing and being promoted. However, developing and constructing offshore wind power, offshore photovoltaic, and marine aquaculture separately not only incurs huge costs but also presents land use conflicts. Therefore, if marine space and energy can be comprehensively utilized to establish an integrated offshore platform that combines wind power, photovoltaics, and fisheries, it will not only maximize the benefits of marine resources but also have significant practical implications for promoting the transformation, upgrading, and diversified development of marine energy facilities. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated floating platform for offshore wind power, photovoltaic, and aquaculture systems. This integrated platform comprehensively and efficiently utilizes marine space and resources, significantly reducing the cost of developing and constructing offshore wind power, photovoltaic, and aquaculture systems separately, and also resolving land use conflicts between wind power, photovoltaic, and fisheries.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0006] An integrated deep-sea floating platform for wind, solar, and fisheries includes: a floating body, a power generation system, a sunshade, an aquaculture system, and a mooring system. The floating body is primarily composed of a foam float, a metal buoyancy chamber, and supporting trusses, and is enclosed on all sides with a hollow interior. A platform panel and a sunshade are laid on the floating body. The power generation system includes wind turbines installed at the four corners of the floating body, novel photovoltaic modules installed in the middle of the floating body, and solar panels installed on the sunshade. The aquaculture system mainly includes net-lifting equipment within the sunshade, specialized aquaculture equipment within the sunshade, and netting installed below the sunshade. After being assembled into a whole, the above components are transported by ship to a designated sea area and connected to the mooring system to form an integrated deep-sea floating platform for wind, solar, and fisheries.
[0007] Furthermore, the foam floats in the floating body are arranged below the metal floating cavity and are closely connected. The outer contour size of the foam floats is consistent with that of the metal floating cavity, and the buoyancy generated by the foam floats that are completely submerged in seawater is not less than the weight of the platform.
[0008] Furthermore, the metal floating cavity in the floating body is composed of several thin-walled, sealed cavities that are not interconnected and are arranged below the supporting truss and are closely connected to each other. The buoyancy generated when the metal floating cavity is completely submerged in seawater is not less than the weight of the platform.
[0009] Furthermore, the supporting truss in the floating body is arranged on the upper part of the metal floating cavity and is evenly provided with bolt holes for installing railings. Railings are installed around the platform and in the middle through the bolt holes, and platform panels are laid on the supporting truss for site use.
[0010] Furthermore, the novel photovoltaic modules in the power generation system consist of a high-strength thin film resistant to marine environments and a photovoltaic system. The clean electrical energy generated by these modules is collected by an inverter and then sent to the power grid through an offshore booster station.
[0011] Furthermore, the solar panels on the sunshade in the power generation system are used to meet the power needs of specialized aquaculture equipment and infrastructure equipment on the platform.
[0012] Furthermore, the wind turbines in the power generation system are arranged at the four corners of the platform and are firmly connected to the supporting trusses. The clean electricity generated will also be sent to the power grid through the offshore booster station.
[0013] Furthermore, the sunshade can be made from a lightweight and high-strength prefabricated shipping container available on the market. The sunshade can be used to house net lifting equipment and special equipment for aquaculture. The bottom of the sunshade can be firmly connected to the supporting truss.
[0014] Furthermore, the netting in the aquaculture system consists of two layers of fishing nets with different mesh sizes. The outer layer has a larger mesh size than the inner layer. The outer layer is a small-mesh net, and the inner layer is a large-mesh net, which facilitates the harvesting of aquatic products. The mesh size can be determined according to the needs of aquaculture.
[0015] Furthermore, the netting in the aquaculture system is cast and retrieved using a net-lifting machine.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. The platform's float consists of a foam float, a metal buoyancy chamber, and a supporting truss. The materials are low-cost and easy to manufacture. Furthermore, the buoyancy generated by the foam float and the metal buoyancy chamber is no less than twice the platform's weight, ensuring the platform's safety.
[0018] 2. The sunshade on the platform, which houses specialized aquaculture equipment and is used by aquaculture personnel, is made from a converted shipping container. It features high strength, light weight, and low cost. Furthermore, the solar panels installed on the roof of the sunshade can meet the electricity needs of the specialized aquaculture equipment on the platform, achieving self-sufficiency.
[0019] 3. The platform combines wind power generation, solar power generation, and aquaculture, which can significantly improve the utilization rate of marine resources. The platform has a symmetrical overall structure, uniform stress distribution, and high stability.
[0020] 4. This platform can effectively overcome the land use conflicts that occur when offshore wind power systems, offshore photovoltaic systems, and aquaculture systems are developed and constructed separately. It can make reasonable use of the spacing between wind turbines and the space below the wind farm, improve the utilization rate of resources and energy, and thus achieve the goal of reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

The foam float 1a in the float 1 is arranged below the metal float cavity 1b and is closely connected. The metal float cavity 1b in the float 1 is composed of several thin-walled closed cavities that are not interconnected and are arranged below the support truss 1c in the float 1 and are closely connected to each other. The outer contours of the foam float 1a, metal float cavity 1b and support truss 1c are the same size.
[0029] The floating body 1 is evenly provided with bolt holes for installing railings. Railings 6 are installed around the platform and in the middle through the bolt holes. Platform panels 7 are laid on the supporting truss 1c for site use. A sunshade 3 is set on the floating body 1 to place aquaculture equipment and for aquaculture personnel to carry out aquaculture operations. The power generation system 2 includes wind turbines 2a installed at the four corners of the floating body, photovoltaic modules 2b installed in the middle of the floating body, and solar panels 2c installed on the sunshade. The wind turbines 2a are arranged at the four corners of the platform and are firmly connected to the supporting truss 1c. The clean electricity generated by them will also be sent to the grid through an offshore substation. The photovoltaic modules 2b are composed of high-strength thin films resistant to marine environments and photovoltaic systems. The clean electricity generated by them is collected by an inverter and then sent to the grid through an offshore substation. The solar panels 2c are used to meet the power demand of aquaculture equipment and infrastructure equipment on the platform.
[0030] The aquaculture system 4 mainly includes a net-hauling machine 4a inside the shade structure, specialized aquaculture equipment 4b, and netting 4c installed below the shade structure. Netting 4c consists of two layers of fishing nets with different mesh sizes: an outer layer with small mesh and an inner layer with large mesh, facilitating the harvesting of aquatic products. The mesh size can be determined according to the needs of aquaculture. After assembling these components, the system is transported by ship to a designated sea area and connected to the mooring system 5 to form an integrated deep-sea floating platform combining wind, solar, and aquaculture functions.
