Abstract:
The present invention relates to an offshore converter station (1) comprising at least one sealable room (4) containing amongst others a high voltage SF6 insulated converter installation. This sealed, but enterable room is filled with a non-toxic dielectric insulation gas containing next to dry air for example fluoroketone or hydrofluoro monoether. This allows for a smaller footprint of the offshore converter station.
Abstract:
An offshore wind turbine assembly (100) is disclosed. The offshore wind turbine assembly (100) comprises cable meshes or networks arranged on at least two respective levels along the longitudinal direction (111) of the towers (110) of floatable wind turbines (102) in the offshore wind turbine assembly (100). The cable mesh at each level interconnects the wind turbines (102) in the assembly (100) so as to substantially maintain the position of each wind turbine (102) relatively to the assembly (100) when the entire assembly (100) is located at an offshore position. By means of the arrangement of cable meshes, an upright orientation of the tower (110) of each wind turbine (102) in the assembly (100) can be achieved by appropriately setting the interlevel spacing of the cable meshes.
