摘要： The present invention relates to a method and a wind turbine structure for optimising the weight of the wind turbine and the offshore foundation. The wind turbine is operated based on the measured wave height which in turn allows the tower height to be reduced so that the ratio between the tower height and the length of the wind turbine blades is greater than 0.5. The rotor is parked in a predetermined position with a maximum or minimum clearance between the tip end of the wind turbine blades and the sea level if the measured wave height exceeds a predetermined threshold. A monitoring unit arranged relative to the wind turbine detects if one or more objects are located within a monitoring area. If an object is located within the monitoring area, the wind turbine is shut down and the rotor is rotated to the parked position.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for erecting at sea a large slender body, such as the monopile of a wind turbine. The method comprises bringing the large slender body in a substantially horizontal floating condition at least partly underneath the work deck of a platform, attaching a tension cable to the slender body, and pulling on the tension cable using fixations means and guiding means that are provided at an edge of the work deck and are connected to it to gradually bring the slender body in an erected position along the edge of the work deck. The slender body is optionally driven into the under water bottom. The invention also relates to a device for performing the method. The method is reliable and obviates the use of large cranes.

摘要： A power take-off device for use in a wave energy converter comprises a buoy (1) and a means (2, 3) for converting linear motion from movements of the buoy (1) into rotary motion comprising an elongated means (2) and rotary devices (3) interacting with the elongated means, wherein whereby the rotary devices (3) in the power take-off device preferably are flexibly suspended by wire (33) in support structure (30a) fixed with the buoy (1). By providing means (7a) for applying an essentially constant pre-tension force on the buoy (1), connected to a rotary device (3), and means (7b) for applying a variable damping force on the buoy (1), connected to a rotary device (3), wherein the variable damping force is superimposed on the pre-tension force, whereby, during operation, a unidirectional torque is applied on the rotary devices (3) by the combination of the means (7a) and the means (7b), to combine control of the resonance frequency of the buoy as well as control of the damping to extract power, with the purpose to increase the power capture and reduce design complexity. Optionally, means (6) are connected to a rotary device (3) for changing the effective mass of buoy (1) to control the resonance frequency.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method of installing an offshore wind turbine and a transport vessel thereof. A part of a wind turbine is secured to a transport vessel by raising the part in a perpendicular direction relative to the transport vessel into a transport position using lifting means arranged on the transport vessel at a loading site. The transport vessel is then moved from the loading site out to an installation site. The transport vessel is secured to an offshore foundation which is located at the installation site. The wind turbine is then lowered onto an upper part of the offshore foundation using the lifting means. Finally, the transport vessel is released and moved away. This method eliminates the need for specially designed installation vessels using a crane to install an offshore wind turbine, thereby reducing the total installation costs.
