Title:
OCEAN CURRENT POWER GENERATION FACILITY AND METHOD FOR MOORING OCEAN CURRENT POWER GENERATION FACILITY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/016378
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The objective of the present invention is to provide an ocean current power generation facility, and a method for mooring an ocean current power generation facility, with which a large amount of power can be generated in an area with a fast ocean current, and with which the size of newly installed mooring equipment for mooring an ocean current power generation device and the size of the equipment for transmitting the power generated by an ocean current power generation device can be reduced. The ocean current power generation facility (1) is equipped with: an ocean current power generation device (2) that is installed floating in the ocean, and has blades (4) rotated by an ocean current, and generators that generate power due to the rotational force of the blades (4); and a mooring wire (3), one end of which is connected to the ocean current power generation device (2), and the other end of which is connected to an oil or natural gas production platform (10) that is anchored or moored to the ocean floor (20).
