Abstract: Disclosed is a floating platform integrating wave attenuation with marine energy power generation and a working method thereof, the platform includes a breakwater, a tuned damping wave energy converter, and an offshore floating wind turbine. The breakwater includes double-cylindrical-boxes and connecting bulkheads, and a moon pool area is formed in a middle of the breakwater; the offshore floating wind turbine and the tuned damping wave energy converter are both connected to the breakwater through a connecting rod. A circular groove is formed on an inner side of each of the connecting bulkheads of the breakwater. The breakwater provides the floating base and power generation environment for the offshore floating wind turbine and the tuned damping wave energy converter, and a plurality of the tuned damping wave energy converters can be disposed, and are evenly distributed beneath the offshore floating wind turbine.

Abstract: A vessel and a method for installation of a pile adapted to support an offshore wind turbine are described. The method includes a) suspending the pile from a hoisting cable in a substantially vertical orientation; b) providing a lower end of the pile in a pile holding system limiting horizontal motion of a pile portion held by the pile holding system; and c) lowering the pile with the pile being held by the pile holding system. The lowering includes at least lowering the pile through a splash zone of a body of water, and during step c), two tugger lines are directly or indirectly connected to the pile at a location between the pile holding system and the hoisting cable, said tugger lines being operated to damp motion of the pile in two respective horizontal directions.

Abstract: A device for producing energy includes an air-towed vessel, and at least one water current turbine linked to the vessel by at least one electric cable. The water current turbine is linked to the vessel by at least one mechanical linking cable to be towed by the vessel. The water current turbine is spaced apart from the vessel, which makes it possible to increase the diameter of the turbine and to reduce the interactions between the turbine and the vessel. Moreover, it is then possible to provide a plurality of water current turbines towed by the same vessel.

Abstract: A floating wind turbine is supported by floats with an upper cylindrical portion and a lower hull-shaped portion. The lower hull-shaped portion has a conical section with a bow formed on one side. Increased ballast in the floats provides a stable platform for the turbine in operation while decreased ballast in the floats exposes the bow portion, facilitating towing.
