SYSTEM FOR MEASURING SEA-BASED WIND RESOURCES, POWER GENERATOR AND INSTALLATION METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a system for measuring sea-based wind resources, comprising a spar buoy floating structure secured by an anchoring device to maintain same in position, said structure being provided with instrumentation which records the movement of the structure in order to correct the wind measurements. The floating structure (1), which is installed in deep water areas, includes: at least one Light-lmaging Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) device for measuring the wind; and/or at least one meteorological station, as well as a wave energy harnessing device (5) and/or a current energy harnessing device (12). According to the invention, the power generated is used to supply the different control, instrumentation, recording and data transmission systems.
