Alternative mechanical and electrical concept for offshore wind farms

摘要

An offshore wind turbine assembly is disclosed. The offshore wind turbine assembly includes cable meshes or networks arranged on at least two respective levels along the longitudinal direction of the towers of floatable wind turbines in the offshore wind turbine assembly. The cable mesh at each level interconnects the wind turbines in the assembly so as to substantially maintain the position of each wind turbine relatively to the assembly when the entire assembly is located at an offshore position. By means of the arrangement of cable meshes, an upright orientation of the tower of each wind turbine in the assembly can be achieved by appropriately setting the interlevel spacing of the cable meshes.
