Description

  The present invention relates to a landing type offshore wind power generation facility and a construction method thereof.

  Conventionally, power generation methods such as hydropower, thermal power, and nuclear power generation have been mainly employed, but in recent years, wind power generation that generates power using natural wind has attracted attention from the viewpoint of effective use of the environment and natural energy. There are two types of wind power generation facilities: land-based and water-based (mainly sea-based). In Japan, where mountainous landforms are located behind the coast, there are few plains where stable wind can be expected in the coast. It is in. On the other hand, Japan is surrounded on all sides by the sea, and it has the advantage that the wind suitable for power generation can be easily obtained and there are few restrictions on installation. In recent years, therefore, many offshore wind power generation facilities have been proposed.

  Offshore wind power generation facilities are installed on the sea floor, such as jacket foundation (Patent Document 1 below) and caisson foundation (Patent Document 2 below), and pontoon type (Patent Document below). 3), a semi-sub type (Patent Documents 4 and 5 below), a spar type (Patent Document 6 below), and other floating types that float on the sea surface or the sea.

Through this water supply / drain port 9f, the ballast is charged into the interior and discharged from the interior. The water supply / drain port 9f is closed by a plug (not shown) to ensure the water tightness of the hollow portion. As the ballast, in addition to seawater and fresh water, sand, gravel, crushed stone, minerals, metal powders and the like can be used. These ballast materials are preferably charged / discharged by the method (fluid transportation) described in JP 2012-201217 A.

  On the other hand, the outer peripheral portion 8 is disposed on the outer periphery of the central portion 7 and has a donut-like appearance as a whole. The outer peripheral portion 8 is configured by arranging a plurality of the outer peripheral side precast boxes 10, 10,... In the circumferential direction, and connecting and integrating these outer peripheral side precast boxes 10, 10,.

  The outer peripheral side precast box 10 is formed by dividing the outer peripheral portion 8 formed in a donut shape into a plurality of portions in the circumferential direction along a radial line having a constant central angle. The outer peripheral side precast box 10 is preferably formed to have an outer shape in which the outer peripheral portion 8 is divided into four equal parts to 32 equal parts, preferably 4 equal parts to eight equal parts, in the illustrated example. In the illustrated example, the number of divisions of the central portion 7 and the outer peripheral portion 8 is the same in eight equal parts, but may be different. If they are different, it is preferable that the number of divisions of the outer peripheral portion 8 is larger than that of the central portion 7. Moreover, since the said outer peripheral side precast box 10 is used as the concrete precast member, the reduction of the manufacturing cost by mass production becomes easy. The outer peripheral precast box 10 is preferably formed in the same shape in order to reduce manufacturing costs.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the outer peripheral side precast box 10 is a hollow box surrounded by a bottom plate 10a, an inner peripheral wall 10b, an outer peripheral wall 10c, side walls 10d and 10d, and a lid 10e.

It may be. Since the outer peripheral side precast box 10 floats alone in a state where air is sealed in the hollow portion, it can be transported by sea by surfacing from the manufacturing factory.

  The lid 10e of the outer peripheral side precast box 10 is provided with a water supply / drain port 10f communicating with the hollow portion inside. Through this water supply / drain port 10f, the ballast is charged into the interior and discharged from the interior. The water supply / drain port 10f is closed by a plug (not shown) to ensure the water tightness of the hollow portion.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the outer peripheral portion 8 includes a plurality of PC steel materials 12, 12... Arranged along the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral wall 10 c of the outer peripheral side precast box 10, 10. By being tightened, they are connected in the circumferential direction. The PC steel materials 12, 12... Are preferably an outer cable type disposed on the outer surface of the outer peripheral wall 10c, but may be an inner cable type disposed inside the outer peripheral wall 10c.

  In the outer cable system, as shown in FIG. 4, the through hole for inserting the PC steel material 12 penetrating in the circumferential direction is vertically formed in the circumferential center portion of the outer surface of the outer peripheral wall 10 c of each outer peripheral side precast box 10. A plurality of fixing tools 13 provided at intervals in the direction are fixed in the vertical direction, and the fixing tool 13 of a certain outer peripheral precast box 10 and at least the adjacent outer precast boxes 10 on both sides thereof are fixed. If the PC steel material 12 is arranged so as to straddle the one fixing device 13, 13... With 10 fixing tools 13, 13, a tension is introduced into the PC steel material 12 by tightening both ends with nuts. It is intended to be integrated.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the arrangement of the PC steel materials 12 is such that all the outer peripheral side precast boxes 10, by shifting the outer peripheral side precast boxes 10, 10. The tension of the PC steel materials 12, 12... Is applied evenly to 10... Even if one PC steel material 12 is damaged and the tightening force is weakened, the tightening force is maintained by the other PC steel materials 12, 12. It is preferable to be provided.

  In the inner cable system, a sheath for inserting the PC steel material 12 along the circumferential direction is embedded in the outer peripheral wall 10c, and the outer peripheral side precast boxes 10 and 10 are arranged in the circumferential direction. For example, the PC steel material 12 is inserted into the communicating sheath of the adjacent outer peripheral side precast boxes 10, 10 and both ends are tightened with nuts to introduce tension into the PC steel material 12 for integration.

  The outer peripheral portion 8 is a through-bolt that penetrates the side walls 10d and 10d of the adjacent outer peripheral precast box 10 in the same manner as the connecting method of the central portion 7 together with or instead of the fastening with the PC steel material 12. Or by connecting the side walls 10d and 10d adjacent to each other inside the box by bolting, or by a joint structure provided on the side surface, or by bonding the side surfaces with an adhesive. It is also possible to adopt a means for connecting by.

  Each outer peripheral side precast box 10 of the outer peripheral part 8 may be divided into a plurality in the radial direction. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, each outer peripheral precast box 10 may be divided into, for example, an inner precast box 10 </ b> A and an outer precast box 10 </ b> B in the radial direction. In this case, the adjacent radially inner precast box 10 </ b> A and radially outer precast box 10 </ b> B are connected to each other by through bolts that pass through the circumferential contact wall surfaces.

  The circumferential contact surfaces of the central portion 7 and the outer peripheral portion 8 are preferably formed such that the lower side is inclined radially outward from the upper side. That is, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the outer surface (the surface in contact with the outer peripheral portion 8) of the outer peripheral wall 9 c of the central side precast box 9 and the outer surface (the central portion) of the inner peripheral wall 10 b of the outer peripheral side precast box 10. 7 is inclined such that the lower side is positioned radially outward from the upper side. It is desirable that the circumferential contact surface of the central portion 7 and the circumferential contact surface of the outer peripheral portion 8 are inclined with the same shape (angle). The inclination of the circumferential contact surface may be formed linearly as in the illustrated example, or may be formed in an arc shape that bulges outward or inward in the radial direction. In particular, in the case of an arc shape that bulges outward in the radial direction, it is preferable that the circumferential contact surface forms a part of a single spherical surface.

  As shown in FIG. 11C, the circumferential contact surfaces of the central portion 7 and the outer peripheral portion 8 are curved surfaces that bulge outward in the radial direction with respect to the vertical direction (or bulge inward in the radial direction). It is also possible to form it with a curved surface (not shown). At this time, as explained in the previous stage, the lower side does not have to be inclined radially outward from the upper side. Thereby, the center part 7 can move with respect to the outer peripheral part 8 along the curved surface.

  Moreover, the said center part 7 and the outer peripheral part 8 are not joined by the said circumferential direction contact surface. The term “not joined” means that the central portion 7 and the outer peripheral portion 8 are not joined by a bolt, a joint structure, an adhesive, or the like, so that the central portion 7 can move with respect to the outer peripheral portion 8 (fixed side). It has become.

  As described above, the circumferential contact surface between the central portion 7 and the outer peripheral portion 8 is a predetermined inclined surface or curved surface, and the central portion 7 and the outer peripheral portion 8 are not joined by the circumferential contact surface. As shown in FIG. 10, the verticality of the tower 3 is naturally secured by the buoyancy generated in the center portion 7 even when the flooring surface is slightly inclined with the foundation structure 2 being landed on the seabed. It becomes like this. Further, due to the buoyancy generated in the central portion 7, the circumferential contact surface between the central portion 7 and the outer peripheral portion 8 comes into close contact and becomes stable. Furthermore, when a ship collides or receives a strong wave force at the time of a wave, the center 7 instantaneously moves (swings) together with the tower 3 to reduce the action force due to the wave force. Breakage can be prevented. In addition, after the tower 3 is moved instantaneously, the verticality of the tower 3 is ensured by the buoyancy generated in the central portion 7, so that the tower 3 can be immediately returned to the original vertical state.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (C), after the installation, the central part 7 is installed so as to straddle the central part 7 and the outer peripheral part 8 so that the central part 7 does not move from the angle adjusted or set with respect to the outer peripheral part 8. The angle may be corrected and fixed by the fixing tool 16. Further, instead of the fixture 16, the center portion 7 may be connected with a wire or a damper so that the center portion 7 can move to some extent with respect to the outer peripheral portion 8 after installation, or the central portion 7 and the outer periphery may be connected. You may make it provide a stopper-like uneven | corrugated fitting part in the circumferential direction contact surface with the part 8. FIG.

  When landing the foundation structure 2 on the sea floor, ballast is introduced only into the outer peripheral part 8 and no ballast is introduced into the central part 7 or the amount of ballast is reduced, It is preferable that buoyancy is generated in the central portion 7 in the floor state. Here, “the buoyancy is generated” means that the buoyancy surpasses its own weight and floats on the water surface under the condition that there is no constraint. Due to the buoyancy of the central portion 7, the verticality of the tower 3 can be more easily ensured, and the adhesion at the circumferential contact surface between the central portion 7 and the outer peripheral portion 8 is enhanced, and the stability is further increased. . In addition, when the ballast is introduced into the central portion 7, a water supply / drain port is provided in the lid 9 e of the central precast box 9.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the center side precast box 9 and the outer side precast box 10 are outer shapes obtained by dividing in the circumferential direction along the same radial line extending to the center 7 and the outer part 8, respectively. It is preferable to form by. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 8B, the side wall 9d of the center side precast box 9 and the side wall 10d of the outer side precast box 10 are formed in substantially the same plane. At this time, in a state where one outer peripheral side precast box 10 is arranged outside one center side precast box 9, the whole is formed in a substantially fan shape in plan view.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (B), for the power cable wiring, the side wall 9d of the center side precast box body 9 and the side wall 10d of the outer side precast box body 10 are respectively connected to the center side and the outer side in the radial direction. A groove 14 is preferably provided. By laying the power cable in the power cable wiring groove 14, the power cable can be easily pulled in, the underwater work by the diver is reduced, and workability is improved. The power cable wiring groove 14 is preferably formed with a groove width that is somewhat large so that the movement of the power cable accompanying the movement of the central portion 7 can be absorbed.

  As another example for facilitating the drawing-in of the power cable, as shown in FIG. 11, the bottom surface of each of the central portion 7 and the outer peripheral portion 8 is tuned at the same central angle with respect to the circumferential direction. The convex portion 17 of the outer peripheral portion 8 and the concave portion 20 of the central portion 7 coincide with each other in the radial direction, and the concave portion 18 of the outer peripheral portion 8 and the convex portion 19 of the central portion 7 are formed. The structure is arranged so as to coincide with the radial direction. And the opening 21 for electric power cable wiring which penetrates the convex part 17 of the outer peripheral part 8 to radial direction, and is connected to the recessed part 20 of the said center part 7 is provided. Thereby, since the opening 21 for the power cable wiring of the outer peripheral portion 8 communicates with the concave portion 20 of the central portion 7 which is a space expanded from this, the deviation from the outer peripheral portion 8 when the central portion 7 is inclined is prevented. Can absorb. In FIG. 11A, the hatched portions are the outer peripheral portion 8 and the convex portions 17 and 19 of the central portion 7.

  It is preferable that the height of the convex portion 17 of the outer peripheral portion 8 is a height obtained by adding about 1 m to the assumed embedding height on the seabed. Moreover, it is preferable that the depth of the concave portion 20 in the central portion 7 is formed to be about 1 m deeper than the height of the convex portion 17 in the outer peripheral portion 8. The opening 21 can have a diameter of about 500 mm, for example, and is formed at the base end portion of the convex portion 17 of the outer peripheral portion 8. In order to form the opening 21, the convex part 17 of the outer peripheral part 8 is formed across the boundary part of the adjacent outer peripheral side precast box bodies 10, 10, and on the side surface of the adjacent outer peripheral side precast box bodies 10, 10. The grooves can be provided by forming grooves that are continuous in the radial direction and combining the grooves. The central portion 7 is provided with a power cable wiring groove 22 that continues in the vertical direction along the tower standing opening 11.

  By the way, although the bottom face of the foundation structure 2 may be flat, it may be formed in an uneven shape by providing a large number of protrusions. By making the bottom surface uneven, it is easy to adjust the level by absorbing a certain amount of sea bottom unevenness without creating a seabed mound, and a number of protrusions mesh with the sea bottom unevenness to level the foundation structure 2. The ground resistance with respect to the direction is improved.

[Construction method]
Hereinafter, based on FIGS. 12-17, the construction method of the said offshore wind power generation equipment 1 is explained in full detail.

(First step)
In the sea area near the quay, the offshore wind power generation facility 1 is assembled in a state of being landed on the seabed. As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the assembly of the offshore wind power generation facility 1 is performed by arranging a plurality of center-side precast boxes 9, 9,... In the circumferential direction, and arranging these center-side precast boxes 9, 9,.
