Abstract

La présente invention concerne une installation de production d'énergie en mer, qui peut en particulier fournir une solution pour des problèmes existants tels que le maintien de position d'installation d'éolienne à un emplacement préféré sur la surface de mer, l'élimination de torsion d'élément de retenue, et la réduction au minimum/annulation de mouvement de gyroscope ou d'accouplement en raison d'un agencement de turbines tournant dans la même direction (voir figure 1). La présente installation de production d'énergie flottante en mer à auto-maintien peut maintenir la position de groupe d'éoliennes par l'intermédiaire d'un point d'ancrage unique au moyen d'un agencement alterné dans une direction de rotation différente de turbine. Plus d'un élément flottant individuel est conçu pour flotter sur une surface de mer et former un groupe qui est relié à un élément souple et maintient un point d'ancrage/maintien commun, la configuration de groupe formée accumule l'effet de soufflage de vent et sa réponse d'éoliennes vers un point unique pour obtenir un point d'ancrage unique/nombre minimal de points d'ancrage pour un groupe d'éoliennes/installation.
