To provide high stability at low cost, a ring-based floatation system for a floating vertical-axis wind turbine is proposed. The system uses a buoyancy torus with a finite shell thickness, which can be sealed to prevent water from leaking inside the torus. This torus shape has an outside and inside diameter on a horizontal plane while having a circular cross-section in a vertical plane. This buoyancy torus serves as a floatation tube to provide buoyancy at a large maximum radial extent to enhance platform stability in terms of both inertia and metacentric height. The torus shape (or a similar faceted shape made of several cylindrical tubes connected in a circle) also provides high radial asymmetry and high structural robustness. This buoyancy torus supports rotating wind turbine blades which are affixed to a rotation ring, where the torus and the rotation ring have the same axis of revolution and where the blades and the rotation ring rotate about this axis of revolution. One or more electrical generators can be placed between the rotation ring and the buoyancy torus (or a foundation for an onshore wind turbine) to convert the rotational power of the blades (communicated to the rotation ring) into electrical power. This ring-based buoyancy platform can be ballasted by a variety of methods and can also be used to support offshore oil and gas drilling platforms.

A method for integrated planning and control of the dynamic stability of a floating wind turbine. In the method, an integrated planner is externally connected to a controller, so as to coordinately and dynamically adjust core control parameters of three control sub-systems, namely, a blade pitch control sub-system, a generator torque control sub-system and a nacelle yaw control sub-system; and a planner based on a nonlinear dynamic mathematical model may be used to dynamically adjust controller parameters, so as to realize comprehensive optimization of the dynamic stability objective. Without changing the architecture of an existing industrial controller of a floating wind turbine, and by means of dynamically adjusting a series of core control parameters of the industrial controller, the method realizes a comprehensive improvement in the operational dynamic stability of the floating wind turbine, suppresses the motion of a floating platform-support structure, reduces fluctuations in rotor speed and active power, and improves the operational stability and energy efficiency of the floating wind turbine, thereby having significant engineering application value.

The invention relates to a method for operating an energy-generation apparatus, wherein the energy-generation apparatus comprises a ground station (28) and a kite system (23). The kite system (23) comprises a kite (14) and a nacelle (25), wherein the kite (14) is connected to the nacelle (25) via a line tree (24). The nacelle (25) is connected to the ground station (28) via a tether cable (15). Electrical energy is generated by means of a tensile force exerted by the tether cable (15), wherein the kite (14) is alternately brought into a first operating state (41) and a second operating state (42). In the second operating state (42), the trim angle (43) of the kite (14) is smaller than in the first operating state (41). In the second operating state (42), the kite (14) is drawn back towards the ground station (28) by reeling in the tether cable (15), wherein the reeling-in speed is varied depending on an operating parameter (49) of the energy-generation apparatus representing the flight state of the kite (14). The invention also relates to a control unit for an energy-generation apparatus, to an energy-generation apparatus, and to a computer program product.

0000 A guiding system for exchanging a wind turbine blade, which uses an internal lifting and lowering system fixed to a rotor. The guiding system comprises semi-rigid passive retaining lines that form a safe catenary or track for lowering the blades without same hitting the tower or the ground as a result of incident winds of up to 15 m/s. A clip fastened to the end part of the blade slides along the retaining lines with the horizontal movement of the blade. The catenary may optionally have intermediate points, and the tension thereof is dependent on the incident wind: the greater the wind, the greater tension. The guiding system can be used for onshore wind turbines, floating offshore wind turbines connected to a spring, and boat-assisted offshore wind turbines on the high seas.

0001 A floating structure (1) having three buoyant bodies (3,5,7) for supporting a horizontal axis wind turbine (6) and wind turbine tower (27). The floating structure (1) is provided with a geostationary mooring system that permits it to weathervane in order to head the wind turbine (6) into the wind and has a wind turbine tower mount (29) for supporting the wind turbine tower (27). A central buoyant body (3) is located partially above water during assembly and tow out from port and is ballasted so that it is underwater when moored offshore, such that the floating structure (1) becomes a semi-submersible. The three buoyant bodies (3,5,7) are ship-shaped in form which reduces loads in the mooring system, and are made from stiffened flat plates, which are easier for many yards and fabrication shops to make, compared to cylindrical hulls.
