10 results about "Moon pool" patented technology

A moon pool is a feature of marine drilling platforms, drillships and diving support vessels, some marine research and underwater exploration or research vessels, and underwater habitats, in which it is also known as a wet porch. It is an opening in the floor or base of the hull, platform, or chamber giving access to the water below, allowing technicians or researchers to lower tools and instruments into the sea. It provides shelter and protection so that even if the ship is in high seas or surrounded by ice, researchers can work in comfort rather than on a deck exposed to the elements. A moon pool also allows divers or small submersible craft to enter or leave the water easily and in a more protected environment.

This application discloses an offshore floating semi-submersible platform and an offshore power generation system. The offshore floating semi-submersible platform provided by this application includes a platform body equipped with wind turbine components and photovoltaic components to achieve wind and solar complementary power generation. A heave assembly is provided below the platform body, which includes at least two different sizes of heave plates and forms at least two moon pool structures, which together constitute a damping coupling system. The differentiated heave plates provide a graded response to broadband waves, and the moon pool structure adds additional mass and radiation damping, thereby continuously consuming wave energy, significantly reducing the platform's heave response, and improving operational stability. The photovoltaic components include fixed photovoltaic panels and telescopic photovoltaic panels. The fixed photovoltaic panels are located on the top surface of the platform body, and the telescopic photovoltaic panels can switch between a retracted state and an extended state, effectively increasing the photovoltaic power generation area and improving power generation efficiency.

A dual-mode rocker plate type wave energy power generation device based on a stepped moon pool and an energy capturing and power generation method

PendingCN122129378AMachines/enginesEngine componentsCrankWave response
This invention relates to a dual-mode rocker-plate wave energy generation device and energy harvesting method based on a stepped moon pool. At least one moon pool is set within a square barge carrier. A rectangular step is set at the bottom of the moon pool, and a rocker-plate float is installed inside the cavity, with a rotating shaft passing through the center of the float. Slots perpendicular to the surface of the square barge carrier are respectively opened on two opposite side walls of the moon pool cavity. A piston rod is slidably connected within the slots, with one end of the piston rod rigidly connected to the end of the adjacent rotating shaft via a crank-connecting rod, and the other end connected to a hydraulic transmission power generation system. The rectangular step within the moon pool amplifies the wave response amplitude, causing the heave-roll dual-degree-of-freedom rocker-plate assembly to generate heave and roll motions. The rotating shaft converts the wave energy accumulated in the expanded moon pool into electrical energy through the hydraulic transmission power generation system. This invention achieves an organic unity of wave focusing effect, efficient energy harvesting, wide-frequency response, and structural durability, providing a reliable technical solution for the large-scale application of wave energy power generation technology.
