摘要： Disclosed are techniques for recovering power from remote vehicles near a landing surface. Air turbulence from a remote vehicle near a landing surface is detected and measured. When the air turbulence exceeds a threshold, a subset of landing surface components corresponding to sections of the landing surface with attached wind power generators are determined for wind power generation from the detected air turbulence. The wind power generators of the subset of landing surface components are exposed from their protective coverings, and the subset of landing surface components are reoriented towards the source of the air turbulence, tracking the remote vehicle generating the air turbulence. Power generated by the wind power generators can be stored and used to recharge remote vehicles that land at the landing surface.

摘要： A method of controlling a turbine of a floating wind turbine structure to reduce fatigue of moorings of the floating wind turbine structure includes curtailing the turbine based on a pitching motion of the floating wind turbine structure and on a wind direction at the floating wind turbine structure relative to an orientation of the moorings of the floating wind turbine structure. Optionally, the curtailment may be further based on a degree of displacement of the floating wind turbine structure from a reference location.

摘要： The invention relates to a floating platform for harnessing wind energy, comprising a tower (1) with a wind turbine (2), and two horizontal, identical cylindrical floating elements (3) parallel to the main longitudinal axis of alignment, the tower and the floating elements being interconnected by bar structures (5). The floating elements are joined to a stabilising element (4) which is situated directly beneath the floating elements (3), said stabilising element comprising two substantially rectangular first concrete slabs (4a), which are solid or more lightweight, with a ribbed structure, arranged perpendicularly to the axes of the floaters and joined to said floaters by means of auxiliary structures.

摘要： Methods and systems for operating a stable platform in a far-offshore deep-sea environment. The platform can advantageously be a wind power generation station. A structural framework carries (for example) the wind turbine in an elevated position. Multiple points on the floating structure are connected both to a surface float and to a deep mass (e.g. an enclosed volume of seawater).

摘要： The apparatus described is a buoyant energy converting apparatus for converting energy obtained from renewable ocean energy sources to useful energy, comprising: a wind energy converter; a buoyant platform arranged to support the wind energy converter in a body of water having a surface and a bed; and a connection member, the connection member being positioned between the wind energy converter and the buoyant platform, the buoyant platform comprises an in-use configuration in which the buoyant platform is submerged in the body of water. In the in-use configuration the connection member protrudes through the surface of the body of water such that the wind energy converter is located substantially above the body of water. The apparatus further comprises a wave energy converter. The apparatus aims to provide a device having increased stability in stormy conditions, a more consistent supply of power and improved cost and ease of maintenance.
