5 results about "Tension-leg platform" patented technology

A tension-leg platform (TLP) or extended tension leg platform (ETLP') is a vertically moored floating structure normally used for the offshore production of oil or gas, and is particularly suited for water depths greater than 300 metres (about 1000 ft) and less than 1500 metres (about 4900 ft). Use of tension-leg platforms has also been proposed for wind turbines.

A gravity-based multi-tension leg floating wind turbine platform

PendingCN122078570AEliminate offshore piling operationsReduce foundation construction costsWind motor supports/mountsWind energy generationMooring systemWind wave
This invention provides a gravity-based multi-tension-leg floating wind turbine platform, comprising: a wind turbine and its tower, a buoyancy chamber, a tensioning mooring system, and a gravity foundation. The wind turbine and its tower are mounted on top of the buoyancy chamber; the buoyancy chamber is connected to the gravity foundation arranged on the seabed via the tensioning mooring system to form a tension leg restraint system. The tensioning mooring system, by significantly increasing the number and rationally distributing the cables, distributes the platform's tension under the influence of wind, waves, and currents among more tensioning components, thereby reducing the tensile force and fatigue load requirements of a single tensioning mooring member and its end connecting components, and reducing the engineering implementation difficulty caused by excessive stress on the tension legs. The gravity foundation is fixed to the seabed by its own weight, eliminating the need for piling operations required for traditional tension-leg platforms, significantly reducing the difficulty and cost of offshore construction.

A buoyancy adjustment system and method for a tension leg platform

PendingCN122144078AWind motor supports/mountsVessel safetyBuoyancy regulationWater discharge
The application relates to the technical field of offshore wind power generation, in particular to a buoyancy adjusting system and method suitable for a tension leg platform. The system comprises a tension leg platform and a plurality of buoyancy adjusting components. The buoyancy adjusting component comprises a rigid outer wall, a flexible inner wall, a plurality of bionic contraction units, a flow guide unit, a central control unit and an inclination measuring unit. The flexible inner wall is nested on the inner side of the rigid outer wall, and a water cabin is formed inside. The inclination measuring unit is used for detecting the inclination angle of the water cabin corresponding direction. The plurality of bionic contraction units are arranged inside the water cabin and are used for being contracted or expanded under the control of the central control unit. The central control unit is used for controlling the water filling state or the water discharging state of the flow guide unit and the contraction state or the expansion state of the bionic contraction unit according to the inclination angle. The above technical scheme can improve the response speed and the adjusting precision of the tension leg platform buoyancy adjustment.
