Title:
ALTERNATIVE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL CONCEPT FOR OFFSHORE WIND FARMS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/171578
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An offshore wind turbine assembly (100) is disclosed. The offshore wind turbine assembly (100) comprises cable meshes or networks arranged on at least two respective levels along the longitudinal direction (111) of the towers (110) of floatable wind turbines (102) in the offshore wind turbine assembly (100). The cable mesh at each level interconnects the wind turbines (102) in the assembly (100) so as to substantially maintain the position of each wind turbine (102) relatively to the assembly (100) when the entire assembly (100) is located at an offshore position. By means of the arrangement of cable meshes, an upright orientation of the tower (110) of each wind turbine (102) in the assembly (100) can be achieved by appropriately setting the interlevel spacing of the cable meshes.
