Description

本発明は、浮体式洋上風力発電装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a floating offshore wind power generator.

従来、洋上の海域は、陸上や浅海域に比べて風況が良好であるため、風力発電の立地に適している。そのような洋上に設置される風力発電装置は、経済性等の観点から実績のある着底式よりも浮体式の構造形式の方が有利である。前記浮体式の風力発電施設は、発電時のブレード回転に伴って作用する大きな水平力や転倒モーメントに対して十分な安定性を保持するとともに、発電効率が低下しないように浮体の動揺量を極力抑えるようにしている。このような浮体式風力発電施設としては、図3に示すように、テンションレグ式があり、風車2aを支持する浮体3を構成する中央コラム3aと張出し部3b、それを係留するテンドン(係留索、以下同じ)5と、大型のシンカー(錘)4とから構成されている(特許文献1参照)ものが知られている。   Conventionally, offshore waters have better wind conditions than land and shallow waters, making them suitable for wind power generation. For such a wind power generator installed on the ocean, a floating structure type is more advantageous than a grounded type that has a proven record in terms of economy and the like. The floating wind power generation facility maintains sufficient stability against large horizontal forces and tipping moments that act as the blades rotate during power generation, and minimizes the amount of rocking of the floating body so that power generation efficiency does not decrease. I try to suppress it. As such a floating wind power generation facility, as shown in FIG. 3, there is a tension leg type, and a central column 3a and a projecting portion 3b constituting a floating body 3 that supports the windmill 2a, and a tendon (mooring cable) for mooring it. , The same applies hereinafter) 5 and a large sinker (weight) 4 (see Patent Document 1) are known.

前記テンションレグ式の浮体式洋上風力発電施設1cは、浮体3とシンカー4にあらかじめ大きな初期張力を鉛直方向に作用させた状態で係留する方式なので、緩係留方式よりも浮体の動揺量を低減でき、且つ、比較的占有面積を小さくできる等の利点がある。前記中央以下の張出し部3bは、天端高を低く、若しくはコラムを構築しない方が経済性、景観性の観点から有利である(特許文献2参照)。   The tension leg type floating offshore wind power generation facility 1c is moored in a state where a large initial tension is applied to the floating body 3 and the sinker 4 in the vertical direction in advance. In addition, there are advantages such as a relatively small occupation area. From the viewpoint of economical efficiency and landscape, it is advantageous that the protruding portion 3b below the center has a low top end height or does not construct a column (see Patent Document 2).

特開2010−18129号公報JP 2010-18129 A 特開2010−64649号公報JP 2010-64649 A 特開2010−115978号公報JP 2010-115978 A

従来の浮体式洋上風力発電装置における特許文献1では、例えば、初期張力を作用させる設備が水中部となるため、止水の問題がある。また、特許文献2では、各テンドン(係留索)と連結する張出し部3bは水面上に張り出しているため、経済性,景観性には劣るものの初期張力の調整を水面上で行うことが可能である。よって、初期張力を個別に調整することは比較的容易であるが、各コラムが孤立した状態となるため、洋上でのテンドン(係留索)同士の張力調整が困難となりやすい。   In Patent Document 1 of a conventional floating offshore wind power generator, for example, there is a problem of water stoppage because an equipment that applies initial tension is an underwater part. Moreover, in patent document 2, since the overhang | projection part 3b connected with each tendon (mooring line) is overhanging on the water surface, although it is inferior to economical efficiency and a landscape property, it is possible to adjust initial tension on the water surface. is there. Therefore, although it is relatively easy to individually adjust the initial tension, it is difficult to adjust the tension between tendons (moorings) on the ocean because each column is isolated.

また、特許文献3では、補助設備を用いることで各コラムの厳密な張力調整ができる可能性があるが、この補助設備は大型施設が必要となって経済性に劣るとともに作業時の安全性が低下するという課題がある。更に、風車稼働中にシンカーが沈下した場合に、張力の再調整を迅速に行う必要がある場合や、定期的な微調整などの作業が生じた時において、機械設備の設置に時間を要するという課題がある。本発明に係る浮体式洋上風力発電装置は、このような課題を解決するために提案されたものである。   Further, in Patent Document 3, there is a possibility that strict tension adjustment of each column can be performed by using auxiliary equipment. However, this auxiliary equipment requires a large facility and is inferior in economic efficiency and safety at the time of work. There is a problem of lowering. Furthermore, if the sinker sinks while the windmill is in operation, it will take time to install the mechanical equipment when it is necessary to quickly readjust the tension or when work such as periodic fine adjustment occurs. There are challenges. The floating offshore wind turbine generator according to the present invention has been proposed in order to solve such problems.

本発明に係る浮体式洋上風力発電装置の上記課題を解決して目的を達成するための要旨は、発電装置と、該発電装置を支持する浮体と、該浮体を係留するシンカーと、前記浮体に一端部が繋着され他端部が前記シンカーに繋着され緊張・張設されて前記浮体の位置及び姿勢を安定させるテンドン(係留索)とでなる浮体式洋上風力発電装置において、前記浮体は、前記発電装置を支持する中央コラムと該中央コラムに連結部材を介して前記中央コラムの周囲に配設される張出し部とで構成され、前記テンドン(係留索)の浮体側における繋着構造が、前記張出し部から前記連結部材に沿って前記中央コラムの上部に集約されて繋着されていることである。   The gist for solving the above-mentioned problems of the floating offshore wind power generator according to the present invention is to achieve the object, a power generator, a floating body that supports the power generator, a sinker that anchors the floating body, and the floating body. In the floating offshore wind power generator system comprising a tendon (a mooring line) that has one end connected and the other end connected to the sinker and is tensioned and tensioned to stabilize the position and posture of the floating body. The connecting structure on the floating body side of the tendon (the mooring line) includes a central column that supports the power generation device and an overhang portion that is disposed around the central column via a connecting member. In this case, the projecting portion is integrated and connected to the upper portion of the central column along the connecting member.

また、前記中央コラムの水面上にある天端部に、テンドン(係留索)の張力調整・固定装置が設けられていることを含むものである。   In addition, a tension adjusting / fixing device for tendons (mooring lines) is provided at the top end portion on the water surface of the central column.

本発明の浮体式洋上風力発電装置によれば、テンドン(係留索)の浮体側の端部が中央コラムに集約されているので、張力の調整作業が容易となる。更に、風車稼働中に生じた張力の変動や、定期的な張力調整も容易にできる。浮体の揺れに対して張出し部を通ってシンカーで押さえるので、抵抗モーメントが大きくなって、テンドン(係留索)の緊張力が小さくて負荷が軽減され、浮体の安定性も向上する。   According to the floating offshore wind power generator of the present invention, the end of the tendon (the mooring line) on the floating body side is concentrated on the central column, so that the tension adjustment operation is facilitated. In addition, it is possible to easily change the tension generated during the operation of the wind turbine and periodically adjust the tension. Since the floating body is pressed by the sinker through the overhang portion, the resistance moment is increased, the tension of the tendon (the mooring line) is reduced, the load is reduced, and the stability of the floating body is improved.
