Definitions

  • the invention relates to self-sufficient floating heavyweight foundations for connection with a floating offshore installation for converting wind energy or solar energy into electrical energy with a solid slab of concrete, reinforced concrete, a composite with concrete or a combination thereof, at least one fillable chamber and fastening means for connecting a supporting structure in connection with a tower of a wind power plant or with at least one support with a solar plant, the floating gravity foundation having empty chambers and the lowered gravity foundation having filled chambers.
  • piles to be introduced into the sea floor are known.
  • bored piles can be used as steel pipes drilled into the ground. The earth is removed from the interior of the pipe and concrete is poured into the cavity formed by the pipe.
  • driven piles such as those described in the publication DE 28 23 269 A1 known as steel driven piles.
  • the floating foundation has anchors which are arranged vertically below connection points of a floating structure. For this purpose, these are fixedly arranged at horizontal distances from one another on the sea floor.
  • the anchors are preferably ballast bodies in the form of heavyweight foundations that are not buoyant.
  • Floating buoyancy in connection with anchors for wind turbines in the open sea is for example through the publication GB 2,378,679 A known.
  • the floating foundation implemented for this purpose consists of several buoyancy bodies that are connected to the tower of the wind turbine via radial steel struts.
  • the steel struts are arranged in a cross shape in plan view and are not connected to one another. If bending forces occur on the radial steel struts of the structure, these lead to high bending moments.
  • a heavyweight anchor for offshore installations is through the publication U.S. 4,296,706 A known. This has a fillable container that can be filled with water for lowering by flooding. The water is exchanged by ballast, so that the heavyweight anchor is realized on the sea floor. Several further containers can be arranged on this, so that transport to a new location is easy. Anchoring means for an offshore installation and their fastening are not detailed.
  • the pamphlet DE 10 2015 208 162 A1 discloses a buoyant heavyweight anchor for anchoring a structure floating in the open sea with a wind turbine, service station or converter station.
  • the heavyweight anchor has a solid plate, several floodable chambers and fastening means for buoyancy bodies of the structure, the floating heavyweight anchor not flooded chambers, the sinking heavyweight anchor partially flooded chambers and the lowered heavyweight anchor flooded chambers.
  • the buoyant heavyweight anchor is a monolithic heavyweight anchor.
  • the invention specified in claim 1 is based on the object of simply anchoring an offshore installation in a stationary manner.
  • the self-sufficient floating heavyweight foundations for connection with a floating offshore system for converting wind energy or solar energy into electrical energy with a solid slab of concrete, reinforced concrete, a composite with concrete or a combination thereof, at least one fillable chamber and fasteners for connecting a supporting structure in connection with a tower of a wind power plant or with at least one carrier with a solar plant, the floating heavyweight foundation having empty chambers and the lowered heavyweight foundation having filled chambers, are characterized in particular by the fact that the offshore installation can easily be anchored in a stationary manner.
  • the solid plate has anchor plates, each with a fastening means for connection to at least one anchoring means for connection to the supporting structure.
  • the anchor plate has at least one vertically oriented or essentially vertically oriented first plate with the fastening means and at least one horizontally or essentially horizontally oriented second plate.
  • the first plate is at least partially in the solid plate, so that the second plate is covered by an area of the solid plate.
  • the first plates of the anchor plates are first plates which transmit tensile forces of the structure
  • the second plates of the anchor plates are the second plates exerting pressure forces on the solid plate resulting from the tensile forces.
  • the self-sufficient, buoyant heavyweight foundation is therefore buoyant on site and sinks itself when the chambers are flooded. If there are any currents, this only needs to be held in position.
  • the lowering can advantageously take place in a controlled manner by the flooding.
  • the flooded chambers naturally add to the weight of the heavyweight foundation on the bottom of the sea.
  • Production can be done entirely on land. This can then be easily transported to the location of the offshore installation by towing it itself or by means of a transport ship or in a dry dock.
  • the heavyweight foundation can easily be removed from the bottom of the sea in the event of disruptions or when it is not needed.
  • the chambers are simply filled with air so that the heavyweight anchor simply floats up.
  • the first plates of the anchor plates are each provided with a fastening means for connection to at least one anchoring means for connection to the structure.
  • the anchoring means and thus the first plates of the anchor plates are subjected to tensile stress by the float.
  • the second horizontally or essentially horizontally oriented plate in or on the solid plate thereby presses on the solid plate.
  • the tensile forces of the anchoring means are converted by the anchor plates into pressure forces acting on the solid slab as a concrete body.
  • the first plate and the second plate are connected to one another directly and / or via at least one connecting plate.
  • this third plate conducts the tensile force of an anchoring means arranged at an angle greater than 0 and less than 90 ° in relation to the solid plate proportionally as a compressive force to the center of the solid plate.
  • the solid plate with the anchor plates and the chamber are monolithic according to the development of claim 4.
  • the chamber has partition walls.
  • the heavyweight foundation can be safely lowered in a targeted manner.
  • the heavyweight foundation has a central chamber and chambers of the same shape arranged symmetrically around the central chamber on the solid plate.
  • the anchoring means can thus be guided between the chambers.
  • the chamber has at least one inlet and at least one outlet for filling the chamber, the inlet being arranged on the floor of the chamber and the outlet either on the ceiling or in the ceiling.
  • the inlet being arranged on the floor of the chamber and the outlet either on the ceiling or in the ceiling.
  • the heavyweight foundation has 8 ground spikes according to the development of patent claim. These penetrate the ground and reduce the risk of the heavyweight foundation sliding on the ground.
  • the anchor plate has an inverted T-shape in cross section, the leg being the first plate and the crossbeam being the second plate.
  • the solid slab of the heavyweight foundation has a polygonal, for example square, base.
  • Anchor plates are located in the corner areas and at least in the middle areas of the sides, so that anchoring means running vertically and at an angle can be connected to the anchor plates.
  • the floating heavyweight foundation is connected to the floating and floodable buoyancy structure via anchoring means, with the heavyweight foundation and the supporting structure on site one after the other are a gravity foundation that can be lowered by flooding the chamber and a supporting structure that can be lowered by at least partially flooding the buoyancy bodies and floating in the buoyancy bodies by means of air forced into them.
  • the heavyweight foundation and the supporting structure with or without a tower of a wind power plant or with at least one support with a solar plant as part of the offshore plant can easily be moved together.
  • the heavyweight foundation and the structure can then be placed on site by flooding the chambers and the floats.
  • the base areas of the gravity foundation and the supporting structure have the same geometry and the same dimensions.
  • a self-sufficient buoyant heavyweight foundation 1 for connection to a buoyant offshore installation for converting wind energy into electrical energy consists essentially of a solid plate 2, fillable chambers 3, fastening means for connecting a supporting structure 10 in connection with a tower 11 of a wind power plant or with at least one Carrier with a solar system and anchor plates 4 in the solid slab 2.
  • the Fig. 1 shows a self-sufficient buoyant heavyweight foundation 1 as part of an offshore installation for converting wind energy or solar energy into electrical energy in a basic representation.
  • the solid plate 1 and the chambers 3 are monolithic and consist of concrete, reinforced concrete, a composite with concrete or a combination thereof.
  • the chambers 3 can have partition walls and / or supports, which can also consist of concrete, reinforced concrete, a composite with concrete or a combination thereof.
  • the solid plate 2 has a square base area and anchor plates 4 are arranged in it at least in the corner areas.
  • the Fig. 1a shows a basic plan view and the Figure 1b a basic sectional view of a self-sufficient buoyant heavyweight foundation 1.
  • the Fig. 2 shows an anchor plate 4 with a fastening means 5 in a basic illustration.
  • the anchor plate 4 with the fastening means 5 for connection to at least one anchoring means for connection to the supporting structure has a vertically oriented first plate 6 with the fastening means 5 and horizontally oriented second plates 7 connected to the first plate 6.
  • the first plate 6 and the second plate 7 are connected to one another directly and / or via at least one connecting plate 8.
  • the connecting plates 8 can also connect a first plate 6 arranged at a distance from the second plate 7.
  • the first plate 6 and the second plate 7 have an inverted T-shape in cross section.
  • the first plate 6 is located at least partially in the solid plate 1, so that the second plates 7 are covered by a region of the solid plate 1.
  • first plates 6 of the anchor plates 4 are first plates 6 which transmit tensile forces of the structure and the second plates 7 of the anchor plates 4 are the second plates 7 exerting the tensile forces on the solid plate 1.
  • the Fig. 3 shows an anchor plate 4 with fastening means 5 in a basic illustration.
  • the first plate 6 has several fastening means 5 in the form of bores arranged at a distance from one another.
  • the first plate 6 is connected to the second plates 7 via connecting plates 8 arranged transversely.
  • the first plate 6 is arranged at a distance from the second plates 7.
  • the first plate 6 can also be connected to the second plates 7.
  • the Fig. 3a a principle front view and the Figure 3b a principle top view of the anchor plate 4.
  • the first plate 6 is in turn located at least partially in the solid plate 1, so that the second plates 7 are covered by a region of the solid plate 1.
  • the first plates 6 of the anchor plates 4 are therefore first plates 6 which transmit tensile forces of the structure, and the second plates 7 of the anchor plates 4 are the second plates 7 exerting the compressive forces on the solid plate 1, resulting from the tensile forces.
  • the Fig. 4 shows a self-sufficient buoyant heavyweight foundation 1 in connection with a supporting structure 10 with a wind power plant 12 during transport, when lowering the heavyweight foundation and with the heavyweight foundation 1 lowered on site.
  • the structure 10 is a structure 10 for the wind power plant 12 that floats in the open sea and is connected to the gravity foundation 1 via anchoring means 13.
  • the structure 10 itself has an underwater first component with floats 14 and a second component that cuts through the water surface 15.
  • the first component arranged under the water surface 15 has buoyancy bodies 14 arranged at the corner points of a quadrangle and extending perpendicular to a plane.
  • the second component of the structure 10, which cuts through the water surface 15, is coupled to these.
  • the buoyancy bodies 14 are connected to one another.
  • the connection can be tubes that also serve for buoyancy.
  • the inner spaces of the buoyancy bodies 14 and those of the tubes can advantageously delimit a cavity for this purpose.
  • the buoyancy body 14 can be a hollow cylinder with a base plate and a cover plate.
  • the second component of the supporting structure 10 has supporting elements that intersect the water surface 15 and supporting means for the tower 11 of the wind power plant 12.
  • the floating gravity foundation 1 has partially flooded chambers 3, the lowering gravity foundation 1 further partially flooded chambers 3 and the lowered gravity foundation 1 flooded chambers 3 and the supporting structure 10 on site are, one after the other, a gravity foundation 1 that can be lowered by flooding the chambers 3 and then a supporting structure 10 that can be lowered by flooding the buoyancy bodies 14.
  • the buoyancy bodies 14 of the structure 10 lowered below the water surface 15 are filled with air in their position opposite the gravity foundation 1, so that the structure 10 is a floating structure 10 and the second component is located below the water surface 15.
  • the buoyancy bodies 14 have a cavity which, for positioning as an underwater support structure, is floodable with seawater as well as with a gaseous one
  • the buoyant body 14 is the medium as a cavity that can be filled with air.
  • the heavyweight foundation 1 is located on the bottom 16 of the sea and is connected to the supporting structure 10 via the anchoring means 13. These can be oriented vertically and / or arranged to run obliquely.
