Definitions
- the invention relates to a wind turbine with a floating foundation, which is formed from a supporting structure extending in one plane and a plurality of buoyancy bodies extending out of this plane.
- a wind turbine with a floating foundation, which is formed from a supporting structure extending in one plane and a plurality of buoyancy bodies extending out of this plane.
- Such a system is specifically known from EP 3 019740 B1, DE 102016 118 079 B3 and DE 102019 118 564 B4. Further floating systems are known from EP 1 876 093 A1.
- buoyancy bodies are used for stabilization. In the majority of designs, these buoyancy bodies are connected with cantilevers to a central support structure on which the wind energy installation is founded.
- the cantilevers are also built in various configurations, e.g. as closed beams or as dissolved (lattice) structures.
- the buoyancy bodies are in motion relative to the waterline due to two effects: On the one hand, wave movements lead to a movement of the entire floating offshore wind turbine (around all axes) in combination with a relative movement of the water surface to the only partially submerged buoyancy bodies. Extreme wave conditions can lead to movement amplitudes that allow one of the buoyancy bodies to dive in or out completely. On the other hand, depending on the current wind speed, a thrust force is generated on the wind turbine, which acts in the center of the rotor and results in a pitching movement of the floating foundation via the lever arm of the tower.
- the wind turbine 10' has a floating foundation 20', which is formed from a support structure 30' extending in one plane and a plurality of buoyancy bodies 40 ' extending out of this plane.
- the support structure 30 ' is formed in particular by three support arms of the same length L, which are arranged in a star shape at an angle of 120° to one another.
- the buoyancy bodies on the windward and leeward sides are usually dimensioned differently in order to ensure optimal swimming behavior in the main axis of the system parallel to the wind (and wave) )direction.
- the cylindrical buoyancy bodies 40′ which are optimized in terms of hydrostatics/hydrodynamics, have the same height on the leeward side, but a cross-sectional area that is twice as large as the area of the buoyancy bodies arranged on the windward side.
- the thrust acting on the rotor of the wind turbine causes a torque on the floating foundation, which causes the system to tilt downwind.
- the torque from the rotor thrust must be balanced by a hydrostatic counter-torque. This results, for example, from the buoyancy bodies 40' emerging on the windward side by the distance S and the buoyant bodies 40' descending on the leeward side by S/2, or from the change in inclination by 2a.
- This example configuration is trimmed in such a way that when the sea is stationary and the sea is calm, the inclination is -a and at maximum thrust the inclination is a.
- buoyancy bodies 40′ dive in or emerge.
- the buoyancy bodies in order to achieve the same change in buoyancy and thus the same counter-torque for balancing the system, the buoyancy bodies must have double the cross-sectional area in the areas that emerge and emerge. For the diameter of the buoyancy body, this means (in the case of a cylinder) an increase in diameter by a factor of 2.
- the object of the invention is therefore to further develop the wind energy plant mentioned at the outset in such a way that the floating foundation is stabilized in the horizontal plane by means of the buoyancy bodies provided on the foundation, even in the case of dynamic loads generated by wave movements and shear forces, without increasing the load regime of the wind energy plant.
- this object is achieved by the wind power plant having the features of claim 1 .
- the dependent claims reflect advantageous refinements of the invention.
- the invention is based on the finding that a bending moment acts on the structure, which essentially results from the balance of the weight and buoyancy forces that act on the structure itself, on the anchoring of the buoyancy bodies and on the buoyancy bodies.
- the static part of this bending moment which is calculated from the balance of forces when floating in calm sea, is superimposed by a dynamic part, which results from the varying buoyancy of the buoyancy bodies entering and exiting the water.
- the buoyancy bodies in an optimized system dive in and out almost completely in extreme waves, this results in a correspondingly large variance in buoyancy in the case of very large-volume buoyancy bodies, which affects the resulting bending moment over the entire structure.
- the fully immersed buoyancy body determines the maximum and thus design-driving bending moment, whereby in order to keep the bending moments on the anchoring of the cantilever arms as small as possible, the volume of the buoyancy body should be designed as small as possible.
- the basic idea of the invention is therefore to create a buoyancy body geometry in order to maximize wind yields due to minimized movements of the floating foundation, which has a cylindrical area with a cross section that remains constant over the height and within a maximum float angle range calculated for the floating wind turbine in the area of the (construction) water line thus has a constant waterline area.
- the sections of the buoyancy body above and below the waterline that is to say those areas which are constantly arranged below or above the waterline during regular operation of the wind turbine, are designed conically in order to reduce the loading regime.
- the float angle is understood to mean the angle about the longitudinal or transverse axis of the floating wind turbine that the floating wind turbine in the individual case differs from the normal position of the floating wind turbine deviates.
- the maximum float angle range corresponds to that angular range around the longitudinal or transverse axis of the floating wind turbine that can be occupied by the floating wind turbine.
- the volume above the nominal waterline results from hydrostatic stability requirements to ensure sufficient righting moment against heeling.
- this volume must be distributed over a minimum height, which can result in different configurations for the geometry of a truncated cone.
- an optimization will always result in the smallest possible volume distributed over the smallest possible height.
- the cross-section of the buoyancy bodies only has to be increased for that area of the buoyancy bodies that dives in or out due to the inclination by ⁇ a.
- this area is only a small part of the hydrostatically required total height of the buoyancy body and extends, for example, by only about 2/5 of the total height.
- the volume below the water surface is part of the total buoyancy of the floating foundation, which determines the floating position in interaction with the masses of all components and any ballast water used. It makes sense to concentrate as much of the buoyancy as possible near the center of gravity of the system and only provide a small amount of buoyancy volume in the buoyancy bodies, because the lever arm effect of the structure from this buoyancy component in turn generates undesirable bending moments on the inner anchorage of the structure.
- the wind turbine has a floating foundation, which is formed from a support structure extending in one plane and a plurality of buoyancy bodies extending out of this plane, with at least one buoyancy body having a cylindrical section, a section extending from the cylindrical section in the direction of the free end of the buoyant body and a first section that tapers from the cylindrical section in the direction of the support structure, the wind energy installation being designed such that the water line during operation of the wind energy installation takes into account the maximum float angle that can be assumed of the floating foundation always comes to rest in the area of the cylindrical section.
- the first section and/or the second section is conical.
- a preferred embodiment of the first section and/or the second section is provided as a semi-ellipsoid, in particular as a triaxial semi-ellipsoid.
- the cylindrical section is preferably designed as a vertical cylinder or as an inclined cylinder, with the cylindrical section particularly preferably being a circular cylinder.
- the bases of the conical sections most preferably correspond to the bases of the cylindrical section, with the sections generally not necessarily having to be in the form of segments. Rather, it is also conceivable that the buoyant body is in one piece or is composed of a multiplicity of individual elements forming the buoyant body.
- first conical section and/or the second conical section is/are designed as a truncated cone.
- the first conical section is designed in particular as a straight cone or as an oblique cone. The same applies to the second conical section.
- both conical sections are designed as oblique cones, it is preferably provided that the axes of the conical sections are parallel. Alternatively, it is provided that the opening angle of the first conical section is smaller than the opening angle of the second conical section.
- the opening angles of the sections are preferably in the range from 20° to 60°.
- the height of the cylindrical section is preferably less than the height of the first conical section. It can in particular be provided that the height of the cylindrical section is also less than the height of the second conical section, it finally being particularly preferably provided that the height of the first conical section is greater than the height of the second conical section.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention is achieved when the wind power plant is designed as a single-point mooring wind power plant. In particular, such a system has a buoyancy body arranged on the windward side, which extends at right angles to the support structure.
- such a system has at least one buoyancy body arranged on the leeward side, the longitudinal axis of which is inclined to the plane of the supporting structure.
- the buoyancy body arranged on the windward side is specially designed such that the first section of the buoyancy body on the windward side has a smaller opening angle than the second section and the second section has a correspondingly lower height than the first section with the same base area.

- the cylindrical section 42 is designed as a vertical circular cylinder, with the bases of the conical sections 44, 46 corresponding to the bases of the cylindrical section 42.
