Patent number: 10644645Abstract: An offshore photovoltaic power plant (100) comprising a pliable mat (2) configured to be arranged on a surface (33) of a body of water, the mat (2) having a plurality of photovoltaic modules (1) fixed thereon. The photovoltaic modules may be marinized and equipped with a buoyant rigid aluminium structure which prevents mechanical damage to the cells. The rigid backside structure may also serve as an efficient heat sink by direct thermal conduction from the solar cells to the pliable mat. There is also provided a fish farm, an offshore power plant, a method of constructing an offshore photovoltaic power plant and a method of installing a floating photovoltaic power plant.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: OCEAN SUN, ASInventor: Børge Bjørneklett

Patent number: 10502348Abstract: A riser connector assembly includes a first connector assembly portion with first locking members, a second connector assembly portion with second locking members, and a locking device with third and fourth locking members. The locking device is rotatably connected to the first connector assembly portion. The locking device rotates between a first position where each of the locking members are interlocked, a second position where the first and third locking members are interlocked, and the second and fourth locking members are not interlocked, and a third position where none of the locking members are interlocked, so that the locking device is removable. The first and third locking members selectively/releasably interlock via a relative rotation between the first connector assembly portion and the locking device. The second and fourth locking members selectively/releasably interlock via a relative rotation between the second connector assembly portion and the locking device.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2014Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: MARITIME PROMECO ASInventors: Boerge Bjoerneklett, Per Martin Erik Hansson, Stian Solberg

Patent number: 7494553Abstract: A method is provided of determining a heat treatment to apply to a structural member so as to modify the deformation behavior of the structural member when subjected to an applied stress. The method includes first simulating the deformation behavior of the structural member when subjected to the applied stress. The effect of at least one heat treatment upon a part of the structural member is then simulated so as to determine a heat treatment to apply to the part of the structural member so as to produce a modified deformation behavior.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2003Date of Patent: February 24, 2009Assignee: Norsk Hydro ASAInventors: Børge Bjørneklett, Ole Runar Myhr, Tor Arne Stjern

Patent number: 7431780Abstract: The method of distorting a workpiece (8) includes selecting a desired configuration of the workpiece; determining distortions (14) to be applied to at least two regions of the workpiece to cause the workpiece to adopt the desired configuration; and using the determined distortions in accordance with predetermined information (12,13) relating heat treatments of the workpiece to resultant distortions, to obtain or generate heat control data (15) defining heat treatments to be applied to corresponding regions of the workpiece, which will cause the determined distortions in the workpiece (8). The heat control data and the determined distortions are related by the equation AX=B, where B is a vector describing the determined distortions according to the heat treatments, X is a vector representing the heat control data and A is a matrix of elements representing the predetermined information.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2002Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Assignee: Norsk Hydro AsaInventors: Ole Runar Myhr, Børge Bjørneklett

Patent number: 6921584Abstract: The invention relates to a series of extra strong and durable aluminium alloy brazing sheets with enhanced corrosion resistance for brazed heat exchangers. The alloy sheets are based on recycled materials and are suitable for manufacturing of fins, welded tubes, headers and sideplates. The alloy sheets showed improved corrosion performance with respect to pitting corrosion, excellent high temperature sagging resistance and post braze strength, and a good brazeability. By optimising the material combination of fin, tube, header and sideplates it is possible to produce a heat exchanger with adequate corrosion performance in SWAAT.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2002Date of Patent: July 26, 2005Assignee: Norsk Hydro ASAInventors: Morten Syslak, Gro Stakkestad, Jon Dag Evensen, Xiao-Jun Jiang, Børge Bjørneklett
