Title:
FLOATING SYSTEM OF MARINE POWER GENERATION PLATFORM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/098465
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a floating system of a marine power generation platform, the system comprising: a plurality of floating bodies in which high-pressure air and ballast water are contained so as to form buoyancy; a connecting member for connecting the plurality of floating bodies to each other; a ballast water moving pipe through which the ballast water contained in the plurality of floating bodies moves therebetween; a high-pressure tank for supplying the high-pressure air into the plurality of floating bodies; a compressor for replenishing air pressure inside the high-pressure tank; a balance sensor for sensing a balanced state of each of the plurality of floating bodies and transmitting a signal; and a control unit, which receives the signal of the balance sensor so as to control the amount of air supplied from the high-pressure tank to the floating bodies and the amount of air discharged to the outside from the inside of the floating bodies, wherein, when the balance sensor recognizes that a portion of the plurality of floating bodies sinks lower than the other floating bodies such that the balance thereof is lost, the plurality of floating bodies maintain an overall balance by the control of the control unit, which supplies the high-pressure air into the portion of the floating bodies so as to move the ballast water inside the portion of the floating bodies to the other floating bodies, and discharges the high-pressure air present in the other floating bodies into which the ballast water has flowed. The present invention facilitates movement to a distant sea since the total weight of the floating system is light, can use a thin steel plate while maintaining the required strength, and can quickly enable balance between the floating bodies.
