    摘要: The invention refers to a bolted joint of an offshore structure comprising first and second connecting elements, wherein the first connecting element forms part of an offshore tower or an offshore platform and the second connecting element forms part of a foundation structure. The first connecting element comprises a first flange and the second connecting element comprises a second flange, wherein the first and second flanges abut each other with through holes in alignment. One of the first and second connecting elements comprises an outer peripheral skirt covering a butt joint between the first and second flanges and defining an outer annular space surrounding the butt joint. One of the first and second connecting elements comprises a peripheral collar, the skirt and the collar confining the annular space, the sealing element being a compressible sealing element sandwiched between the skirt and the collar.

    摘要: The subject-matter relates to a method, performed by at least one apparatus, including: determining of a correction factor for at least one first voltage transformer arranged in a power grid, the correction factor being indicative of a correction for obtaining correct measured values measured by the at least one first voltage transformer, wherein the determining of the correction factor of the at least one first voltage transformer being performed at least partially based on a first measured voltage of the at least one first voltage transformer and a second measured voltage of the at least one first voltage transformer, wherein the second voltage of the at least one first voltage transformer is determined at least partially based on a known transfer function of at least one second voltage transformer and the first voltage of the at least one first voltage transformer is determined without taking into account the known transfer function of the at least one second voltage transformer; determining a calibration factor for the at least one first voltage transformer based at least in part on the determined correction factor; and outputting or causing the output of the determined calibration factor. The subject matter further relates to a correspondingly configured apparatus and a system.

    摘要: The invention relates to a support structure, in particular for a wind turbine, having at least two segments, which are joined to one another such that their longitudinal axes extend substantially collinearly to one another. At least one of the segments is a pipe section, which has at least two mutually facing abutment surfaces that are joined to one another, at least in parts. A support structure is provided that is producible in less time and is more cost-effective because the join between the abutment surfaces involves at least one welded join, the thickness of the welding join being less than the wall thickness of the pipe section, and/or the join between the abutment surfaces involves at least one retaining clip.

    摘要: The invention discloses a foundation pile having at least two interconnected part-cylinder segments which are each produced from a steel plate having a length extent and a width extent, wherein the foundation pile is characterized in that the respective part-cylinder segments are produced by bending the steel plates along their width extent, with the result that end edges extending along the width extent of the part-cylinder segments have a bending, in that a height extent of the respective part-cylinder segments is greater than their width extent, and in that the longitudinal edges of the part-cylinder segments that extend along the height extent of the part-cylinder segments are arranged parallel to one another. The present invention further discloses a method for producing a foundation pile according to the invention.
