Abstract: A weldable hybrid composite panel suitable for forming a container includes a four sided composite panel element wherein each side defines a side edge. The composite panel element is formed of fibrous reinforcement layers encased in a resin matrix. Weldable metallic elongated edge elements extend along and are either fixed to the side edges of an outside surface of the panel element or extend from a periphery of the panel element. Each of the weldable elongated edge elements has a profile that is the same as a profile of its respective side edge and is structured to enable the composite panel to be welded at its peripheral edges. The panel element also includes a sensor system embedded therein.

Abstract: A barge-type wind turbine platform in combination with a heel tank damper includes a barge-type wind turbine platform having a keystone, two pairs of bottom beams, each including two bottom beams connected to opposite sides of the keystone, wherein the combined pairs of bottom beams define a foundation. A U-shaped ballast conduit is mounted or formed within each of the pairs of bottom beams. Each ballast conduit has ballast water therein, the ballast water extending from an outwardly extending portion of each bottom beam of each pair of bottom beams, such that a volume of air is defined between a surface of the ballast water in each outwardly extending portion and an outwardly facing wall of each outwardly extending portion, and an internal damping element is provided within each ballast conduit. A heel tank damper is defined by the ballast conduits and their respective internal damping elements.
