Abstract:
The invention relates to a marine energy production assembly (1) comprising:
anchoring means (2);
a floating wind turbine (4) comprising a turbine (7) having a fixed axis of rotation (A-A) of a rotor (71) with respect to a floating structure (5) of the floating wind turbine (4),
means (8) for determining the wind direction (V);
characterised in that it comprises:
means (81) for detecting an orientation of the floating wind turbine (4) with respect to the wind direction (V);
means (9) for detecting an inclination of the floating wind turbine (4);
means (10) for controlling the inclination of the floating wind turbine (4);
a computation unit (11) for transmitting an instruction to the means (10) for controlling the inclination of the floating wind turbine (4) and altering the orientation of the floating wind turbine (4) with respect to the wind direction (V).
