Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of offshore wind power generation, in particular to a floating offshore wind power generation mechanism consisting of multiple buoys and a leveling method thereof.
Background
In response to the global warming trend, the world countries are reducing carbon dioxide emissions. However, the current energy structure still mainly uses fossil energy, and in order to achieve the goal of reducing carbon emission, the proportion of clean energy needs to be increased. Therefore, under the condition that the situation of petroleum resources is increasingly severe, all countries project eyes to oceans with huge resources. Because offshore wind power plants have excellent wind resources and have the obvious advantages of not occupying land area and the like, the economic value and the social value of the offshore wind power plants are more and more accepted, and particularly in islands far away from land, the offshore wind power plants are good energy sources.
Compared with land wind power, the environments of offshore and intertidal wind power units are completely different from land conditions, the offshore wind power technology is far more complex than the land wind power, the combined action of factors such as offshore wind resource characteristics, ocean currents, waves, tides, seabed conditions and scouring and the like must be considered in the process of designing and manufacturing the offshore wind power unit, and meanwhile, in order to bear offshore strong wind load, offshore corrosion, wave impact and the like, the offshore wind power unit is complex in basic structure, high in technical difficulty and high in construction cost.
At present, most offshore wind turbine units are located in offshore areas with water depths of 10 to 30m and distances of 10 to 15km from a shore line, and fixed foundation structures are widely adopted. However, the offshore shallow water area is usually limited by various restriction factors, such as hard restriction in military areas, navigation channels and the like, soft restriction in fisherman's interests, planning conflicts and the like, technical restriction in wind resources, seabed conditions and the like, environmental restriction in noise and the like, economic restriction and the like. From the perspective of resource amount, most of wind resources in the world are located in a sea area with water depth more than 60 meters, and the area of the deep and open sea is large, the wind resources are good, and the exploitable potential is large. However, as the depth of water increases, the fixed infrastructure is difficult to meet the requirements of offshore wind farms, and the construction cost thereof increases dramatically. In order to break through the above limitations and explore and develop richer deep-sea wind energy, the development goal of offshore wind farms is gradually shifting from shallow water areas to deep sea.
The floating type wind turbine floating structure is a deepwater structure form of an offshore wind turbine foundation structure, can overcome the defect that a seabed bottom installation foundation structure is limited by water depth, and is generally used in a deepwater sea area with the water depth of more than 50m, so that the design and development of an offshore wind turbine floating platform with good stability, a simple structure and high universality has important significance for developing new energy and adjusting an energy structure in China.
