SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR SEA-TECHNOLOGY, IN PARTICULAR FOR AN OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY INSTALLATION AND A METHOD FOR PRODUCING A SUPPORT STRUCTURE OF THIS TYPE

摘要

The cable support system (3,4) for an offshore tower, with a tubular structure on the sea bed (9), has additional connecting cables (5) linking them together at the sides. The cable system allows the tower free side movements, with a lower initial stiffness applied to the tower by the cables. The cable geometry gives them faster movements in the water, to dampen tower movements.
