Definitions
- the present invention relates to wind turbines installed offshore, in particular at sea, to the support structures forming part of these wind turbines, and to the methods of manufacturing and installing these wind turbines.
- the technical field of the invention is that of the manufacture, transport and installation of wind turbines for producing electrical energy, more particularly offshore turbines of very large capacity, intended to be installed at sea, more particularly off the coast and in large numbers, to form wind fields.
- a modern wind turbine both terrestrial and marine, generally comprises a motor with several blades and with a horizontal axis, as well as an electric generator coupled to the motor, which are fixed to the upper end of a vertically elongated support such as a mast or pylon.
- the increase in the power of a wind generator is accompanied in particular by an increase in its mass as well as the height of the structure supporting it.
- the invention is particularly applicable, that is to say without limitation, to wind turbines comprising a generator whose power is situated in a range going from 100kw to 10 Mw; the mass of such a generator can reach or exceed 100 or 200 tonnes; the length of a pylon supporting this generator can be of the order of 50 to
- the construction of onshore wind turbines is generally carried out using conventional lifting means of the crane type, the pylon being placed on a foundation, the generator then being installed at the top of the pylon.
- the installation of high capacity onshore wind turbines requires cranes with very long booms, as well as considerable lifting capacity.
- Such cranes are difficult to move and install, and require, to comply with road gauges, to be dismantled in several elements. For example, a 350-ton crane with a 90m boom requires 9 convoys, 4 of which are of exceptional size; moreover, the assembly of the crane requires several days and the disassembly requires as much.
- An objective of the invention is to facilitate the installation of a wind turbine on its production site, in particular on a submerged site.
- An objective of the invention is to provide a wind turbine that is easier to install at sea.
- An object of the invention is to provide a generator and / or wind turbine motor support, a wind turbine, a method of transport and a method of installing wind turbines, which are improved and / or which remedy, in part at least, to the disadvantages of known wind turbines and installation method.
- the elongated support making it possible to secure a wind turbine generator to a foundation or base, comprises two parts which, at least until installation of the wind turbine on a production site, are mounted mobile one with respect to the other, between at least a first position where said support has a picked up configuration and a first length (or first greater longitudinal dimension), and a second position where said support has a so-called deployed configuration and a second length (second largest dimension) whose value is greater than that of said first length.
- Said support in the collected configuration thus facilitates manufacture, since the maximum height required for the lifting devices is considerably reduced.
- the invention also facilitates transport of the wind turbine between a first site on which an assembly of its main constituents is carried out, which can in particular be a terrestrial site or a shallow submerged site, and a second site on which the wind turbine is installed definitive, which can in particular be a submerged site at a depth greater than that of the first site; the invention also facilitates the erection of the wind turbine on the second site - for energy production -, which is obtained by causing on this second site a relative movement of the mobile parts of the support so as to pass the support of the position picked up in the deployed position.
- said deployable support comprises means for mutual guidance of said mobile parts, facilitating and guiding their movement from the picked up position to the deployed position.
- each of said parts of the support is of elongated shape, and said parts are movable in translation, by mutual sliding, so that a deployable support is obtained which is simple to manufacture.
- said support comprises (and / or essentially consists of) a telescopic pylon, the pylon comprising a lower part of elongated shape and an upper part of elongated shape, said lower and upper parts being sliding one relative to each other, and partly at least nested one inside the other.
- said support or pylon further comprises means for erecting the support or pylon to cause, at least in part, the passage from the picked up position to the deployed position of the support, by mutual displacement of said parts of the support.
- erection means may include traction means which may comprise at least one cable or equivalent deformable filiform link, means for securing one end of the link to a first of said parts of the support, and guide means, d 'support or winding of said link - such as a pulley or a winch - which are secured to a second of said two parts of the support.
- the erection means may also include pushing means capable of contributing to the deployment of the support, in particular pushing means by hydraulic actuation.
- said lower part of the support or pylon comprises a first sealed hollow tubular body closed off by a first sealed transverse wall, which is preferably located in the vicinity of the lower end of said lower part. ; in addition, this tubular body is of suitable shape and dimensions so that at least a lower portion of said part upper of the support or pylon can slide inside said body; said upper part of the support or pylon comprises a second tubular body, preferably hollow, also sealed and also closed by a second sealed wall; said first tubular body thus delimits an elongated cavity, preferably cylindrical or frustoconical; said first body is further provided with means for introducing a fluid or a paste into said cavity receiving said second sealed tubular body, and is disposed substantially vertically; said fluid can essentially consist of water taken from the installation site of the wind turbine; by filling said cavity with said fluid or paste, said second body is then subjected to an ascending vertical force resulting from the thrust (of Archimedes) exerted by
- said thrust means may comprise means for introducing a working fluid (or motor paste) under pressure into said cavity, as well as sealing means making it possible to prevent or limit a leak of said working fluid by passing through the residual annular space existing between the internal face of the wall of said first body and the external face of the wall of said second body; this makes it possible to use said first body as a cylinder of a jack, and to use a part of said second body as a piston of said jack: the pressure exerted by said working fluid present in said cavity, on the walls of said second body, causes the second body to slide inside the first body, and thus makes it possible to deploy said support or pylon.
- the (or greater transverse dimension) of the first body are respectively greater than the height and the diameter of the second body, so that in the picked up position, said second body can retract to a large extent inside the first body.
- said support or pylon is essentially metallic, being obtained by end-to-end assembly of several cylindrical sections produced by rolling and welding of sheet steel.
- the invention applies in particular to wind turbines comprising a foundation or base made from aggregates, in particular a hollow foundation or base, - sealed and compartmentalized, made at least in concrete.
- the lower part of the support or pylon is anchored in the foundation in order to obtain a connection by embedding of these elements.
- the invention resides in a method of constructing a wind turbine comprising a wind motor and a generator, a telescopic support or pylon supporting the motor and / or the generator, and a base supporting the support or pylon, which includes the following operations: - the base is constructed,
- the support or pylon is deployed using erection means integral with and / or partly incorporated in the support or pylon, in particular those defined above.
- the invention consists in using a fluid or pasty composition for deploying a wind turbine support, in particular a support defined above.
- said composition is chosen from the group of compositions consisting of a composition comprising seawater, a composition comprising cement, a composition comprising baryte, and said composition is introduced under pressure into said support or pylon. wind turbine.
- the invention avoids the use, on the production site (installation of the wind turbine), of high capacity lifting means.
- the displacement of the base secured to the support or pylon is carried out in part at least by sea, by pushing or pulling the base which is partly at least submerged; for this purpose, use is preferably made of floats integral with the base and / or the support or pylon, which contribute to the buoyancy of the assembly and which are at least partially separated from the wind turbine, once the latter in place.
- the invention is particularly applicable to the construction of wind turbines on a submerged site where the water depth is at least equal to 10 meters, and can reach 50 or
- a reduction in the buoyancy of the assembly is caused so as to gradually immerse the base and at least part of the lower part of the support or pylon, and the support or pylon is gradually deployed; during these operations, some of said floats are preferably used to reduce buoyancy and allow immersion; for this purpose, they are separated from the base and / or from the support or pylon, or else they are gradually neutralized by filling with water for example; some others of said floats are preferably used to guide and / or control the immersion of the structure (base and support or pylon); to this end, the length of the connection which affixes them to this structure can be varied if necessary.
- the base can be kept submerged above the bottom of the water (“floating” base)
- the invention applies particularly to the case where the base is submerged until it rests on the bottom; preferably in this case, it is then filled with a dense material so as to form a gravity base.
- Figure 1 shows, in side view, a wind turbine mounted on a gravity base partially filled with ballast, being towed to its installation site, the telescopic mast being retracted.
- Figures 2 ⁇ and 3 show, in side view, the wind turbine of Figure 1 installed on site, the telescopic pylon being respectively retracted and deployed in final configuration.
- a work vessel receives the lifting equipment being dismantled.
- Figure 4 shows, in side view section, the use of drum hoists and guide means of two mutually movable parts of the pylon.
- Figure 5 shows, in side view section, the use of lifting means consisting of linear winches step by step, installed on a lower part of a cone-shaped pylon (flared down).
- Figure 6 is the cross-sectional view (along line VI-VI) of Figure 5, at the level of the mutual guide members.
- FIG. 7 represents, in section seen from the side, sealing devices provided between the cylindrical body of a lower pylon part and the cylindrical body of an upper pylon part which is slidably mounted inside said part lower.
- Figures 8, 9, and 10 illustrate successive stages of the partial lifting of the upper part of the pylon by the Archimedes thrust applying to a lower portion of the upper part of the pylon.
- Figure 1 1 shows an alternative embodiment of the gravity base, comprising reinforcements in the lower part of the pylon.
- Figures 12 and 13 show an alternative embodiment of the gravity base comprising a temporary complementary floating element in the form of a cofferdam, respectively in towing phase and in final phase of ballasting on site.
- Figures 1 to 4 show a side view of an offshore wind turbine 1 being set up, comprising a base 2 and a pylon 3 consisting of a lower part 3a embedded in said base, and an upper part 3b of diameter outer 80 less than the inner diameter 81 ( Figure 4) of the lower part 3a.
- the two tubular parts 3a and 3b of the pylon can slide along their common longitudinal axis 82, substantially vertical, thanks to a guide system similar to that shown in FIGS. 5 and 6; the telescopic pylon is shown in the retracted position in Figures 1, 2 and 8.
- the active part 4 of the wind turbine comprising an electric current generator 4a integral with the wind motor consisting of a shaft 4b rotating along a horizontal axis supporting three blades 4c.
- Maintaining the telescopic pylon 3a, 3b in the retracted position lowers the center of gravity of the wind turbine, because not only the dead weight of the upper part of the pylon 3b is closer to the base 2, but the load head, consisting of the wind turbine 4 itself, which weighs on the order of 100 to 200 tonnes, is lowered accordingly.
- ballast 7 made up of heavy aggregates, such as iron ore, sand or any other product whose density is much higher than that of seawater.
- the top 93 of the lower part 3a of the pylon is equipped with a working platform 8 on which are installed several winches 9 which allow the lifting of the upper part 3b of the pylon and of the wind turbine itself 4.
- a for example, an assembly with sufficient stability for towing consists of:
- the resulting p-a is 1.1 m, therefore greater than the limit, which makes the whole suitable for being towed at sea for installation.
- FIGS 1 to 3 schematically represent the steps for installing the wind turbine and its base 2 at its final location in the following sequence:
- ballast for example iron ore or sand taken near the site, - the additional floats 5a, 5b are detached from the base 2.
- the base 2 is shown full of ballast, the float 5b is ballasted, while the float 5a (not shown), also filled with sea water, was removed and recovered for the installation of another wind turbine (not shown).
- FIG. 3 represents the wind turbine installed at sea, in the final configuration after the telescopic (upper) part of the pylon has been deployed by means of the winches 9 associated with lifting cables not shown.
- the two parts of the pylon were made integral by bolting or by welding, so as to create a continuity of the pylon by embedding.
- the lifting winches 9 can be dismantled and lowered to a work vessel 11 by means of a sling 10 installed (ashore) on the lower part of the pylon.
- FIGS 4 to 7 illustrate alternative embodiments of the means for deploying the telescopic pylon by hydraulic thrust and / or traction by cable, as well as tubular structures of the parts of the pylon and of their reciprocal guide means; in Figures 4, 5, 7, only an upper portion of a lower pylon section and a lower portion of an upper pylon section complementary to said lower section are shown.
- Figure 4 is a partial sectional view of a lower part 3a of the pylon, associated with a side view of an upper part 3b of the pylon, during the lifting procedure of this last part which is equipped at its top (not shown) of the wind turbine engine and generator.
- the upper half-pylon 3b is equipped at its lower part with a transverse plate 15 of high rigidity integral with a structure 16, tubular or not, having great rigidity -and comprising at its periphery, in the lower and upper part, friction pads 17a-17b guiding said structure 16 along the internal wall of the lower half-pylon 3a.
- the length of said guide structure 16 is preferably greater than 1.5 times the average diameter of the lower half-pylon, so as to minimize the forces, at the level of the pads, generated by bending in the pylon.
- Drum winches 9 were pre-installed on the ground during manufacture, on the platform 8 secured to the lower half-pylon 3a by means of structural reinforcements 8a. On each of the winches is wound a cable 19 guided by a deflection pulley 20, and one end of which is fixed by a connection 18 to the plate 15.
- a rigid plate 21 in the form of a flange is welded at the head of the upper half-pylon 3b ; it has a central bore whose diameter is greater than the diameter of the upper half-pylon, and a series of orifices 22 distributed, uniformly or not, at its inner periphery.
- the lifting cables 19 can pass freely through these holes, and when the plates 15 and 22 are in contact, at the end of the lifting phase of the upper part 3b, they are firmly secured to each other using bolts (not shown) installed through the holes drilled in the upper plate 21 and corresponding orifices, not shown, produced during manufacture in the lower plate 15.
- the fastening members 18 advantageously play the role of centering rod during the final approach phase of the two said flanges by sliding along the axis 82, which has the effect of bringing the respective orifices of the two flanges 15 and 21 face to face, thus facilitating the final assembly locking in position the two parts of the pylon.
- a radial annular space of the order of 10 to 20 cm is generally necessary; consequently, in the case of cylindrical half-pylons 3a, 3b of circular section, the lower half-pylon 3a will have an internal diameter greater by at least 20 to 40 cm, than the external diameter of the upper half-pylon 3b.
- a complementary guidance system is installed above the platform 8, so as to avoid contact between the internal bore of the flange 21 and the external wall of the pylon 3b during the lifting phase; it consists of several pads 26 or integral rollers, by means of a highly rigid structure 25, of the platform 8 or directly of the half-pylon 3a.
- Figures 5 and 6 illustrate, respectively in section in side view and in cross section, the case of a lower half-pylon 3a of conical shape.
- the guidance for the mutual sliding of the parts 3a, 3b of the pylon is then ensured by pads 17a - 17b integral with the structure 16 and collaborating with rectilinear profiles 30 integral with the internal wall 86 of the half-pylon 3a; ' the profiles 30 extend parallel to the axis 82 thus reconstituting the equivalent of a cylindrical guide.
- the four pads 17 are U-shaped so as to prevent the rotation of the upper half-pylon inside the lower half-pylon, and so as to always remain opposite the corresponding profiles 30.
- the four sections 30 are advantageously replaced by a single tube whose axis coincides with the axis of the cone and extending from the bottom of the lower half-pylon, to the plate upper 21.
- Said tube is integral with the half-pylon 3a, preferably at regular intervals, so as to give the assembly optimum geometry and rigidity.
- step 9 made up of hydraulic cylinders with traversing axis.
- Such jacks are supplied by a hydraulic unit (not shown) at the orifice 31 and are commonly used in the lifting of engineering structures, such as bridge decks. Being known to those skilled in the art, they will not be developed in more detail here.
- Cable 19a, 19b crossing the linear winch 9 is stretched below said winch, the upper strand 19b being loose, is simply connected to the top of the upper half-pylon 3b, at the wind turbine (not shown).
- the cylinders being extremely compact, their disassembly at the end of installation, as well as the recovery of the lifting cables are all the easier.
- the fire pumps existing on board an intervention vessel (such as 11 figure 3) give a pressure of 0.8 to 1 MPa, which is sufficient to carry out the complete lifting operation of the upper half-pylon; depending on the flow rate delivered by this pump, deployment can thus be carried out in two or three hours.
- the mobile assembly including the upper half-pylon requires a pressure of 0.25 MPa at the piston to perform the lifting.
- Figures 8, 9 and 10 illustrate the use of Archimedes' thrust to simplify part of the lifting of the superstructure 3b, 4 of the wind turbine 1.
- the wind turbine is shown in side view above the plane AA-BB, and is shown in section below said plane.
- the hatched part 51-52 represents the wet volume causing Archimedes' push, the result of which is marked F.
- seawater By replacing seawater with a denser product, for example a sludge consisting of barytes in suspension in water, we obtain a fluid compound whose density can reach 2.5 to 3 compared to seawater , the lift level reached will then be substantially in the same ratio.
- a denser product for example a sludge consisting of barytes in suspension in water
- FIG. 11 represents a variant of the gravity base, comprising reinforcements 60 in the lower part of the pylon.
- An access ladder 61 connects the surface of the water to the assembly platform 8, at which the access door 62 is located.
- the lower part of the pylon can be ballasted with heavy aggregates to increase stability from the whole ; alternatively when this volume is only filled with seawater, anticorrosive additives can be added so as to avoid any degradation in time of the structure, and this, throughout the lifetime of the wind turbine, which can reach and exceed 20 years.
- FIG. 12 represents a side view of a wind turbine and in section view its gravity base provided with a provisional complementary buoyancy element consisting of a cofferdam 100 preinstalled during manufacture on the base 2, the connection between said cofferdam and said base being watertight at 101.
- This additional buoyancy provides throughout the towing phase increased stability and allows the installation operation to be carried out on site by ballasting the base under the best possible safety conditions.
- FIG. 13 represents said base at the end of installation, after complete ballasting of the base and partial filling 102 of said cofferdam.
- the upper part of the cofferdam is advantageously reinforced by beams 103 connecting the edge of said cofferdam to the barrel of the mast 3, at the level a reinforced area 104 of said mast.
- similar reinforcement beams will advantageously be added at intermediate levels, for example at 5m and 10m from the base, in the case of a cofferdam with a total height of 15m.
- Said cofferdam 100 is advantageously produced by assembling several circular sectors, for example six, eight or twelve sectors, so as to facilitate their dismantling after final installation of the wind turbine.
- care will have been taken to assemble said sectors according to, their vertical generator in a perfectly sealed manner to avoid possible leaks and thus maintain the best buoyancy during the towing phases. and installation.
- the present invention has been described mainly in the context of an offshore wind turbine, but the pylon made in two telescopic sections has a considerable advantage in the installation of conventional wind turbines on land, because the lifting equipment required will be much less powerful than the simple fact that the maximum working height will be appreciably divided by two and that the most important load to handle is generally the generator proper, associated with its hub and blades.
- the present invention has been described on the basis of two telescopic pylon sections, but in certain cases, it is advantageous to consider three or more sections, said sections telescoping each other, successively.
- the present invention has been described on the basis of the production of electricity, but we remain in the spirit of the invention when we seek to convert wind energy into any type of energy, for example by compressing a gas or fluid for export or transform it on site, or by electrolyzing water to produce hydrogen and oxygen.
