ACTIVE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR FLOATING OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE PLATFORMS

摘要

A dynamic anchoring system (16) for use in stabilizing a floating platform (12) is provided. The dynamic anchoring system (16) includes a mooring assembly (52) having a plurality of rodes (84) each with an adjustable length. As waves cause the platform (12) to rock the length of each rode (84) is adjusted in a manner to counteract the motion created by the waves. Thus the platform (12) remains substantially level. The platform (12) supports a wind turbine (30) on a mast (34). At least one motion sensor (50) on the mast (34) provides motion data indication the direction and speed of the hull s (22) motion.
