Abstract:
The present invention relates to a gravity-based foundation system for offshore wind turbine installation that comprises three floating concrete bases built with self-floating concrete caissons, equipped with valves for filling them with water and emptying the water out enabling their ballasting and anchoring at their final location; a metal structure which connects the floating concrete bases by means of a connecting element to the wind turbine tower, and a metal element which connects the floating concrete bases to the wind turbine, metal element on which a docking area is installed, a maintenance platform and access stairs, and it also relates to a method of installation of the gravity-based foundation system.
