Abstract

The anchoring - or mooring arrangement here consists of two fixed anchoring points on the seabed and of four fixing points on the floating wind turbine foundation. Each of the four attachment points is connected with the two anchor points with four cables. By changing the length of each of the four lines, one can change the mooring line trigonometry, which in the drawing is illustrated by the wires between the anchoring points. By actively changing the mooring lines in length, after a previously defined pattern, you will be able to actively rotate the floating platform 360 degrees horizontally. In addition the anchoring - or mooring arrangement is controlled by a computer which continuously receive information about wind direction and speed. This information comes from an anemometer and from a compass or other direction devices on board. These components are therefore internally connected to a computer on the floating wind turbine foundation.
