  • Patent number: 12286762
    Abstract: Described and disclosed is a foundation structure of an offshore structure, in particular of a wind turbine, with a floating foundation, including at least one floating body for floating on the surface of the sea, at least one anchor for anchoring the at least one floating body the seafloor and at least one holding element for holding the at least one floating body to the at least one anchor. At least one transmission cable extends from the at least one anchor along the at least one holding element to the at least one floating body and/or back. To enable a reliable monitoring of the anchoring of the offshore structure, provision is made for the transmission cable to be guided in sections through at least one protection element provided between the holding element and the at least one anchor and/or the at least one floating body.

  • Patent number: 12168974
    Abstract: Provided are embodiments of a wind energy system. The system includes a plurality of wind turbines connected to at least one cable network. The cable network is configured to transmit the electrical power fed-in by the connected wind turbines. The system also includes at least one control apparatus configured to control the power fed into the cable network by at least one of the wind turbine by providing at least one power set point. At least one temperature detecting device is configured to detect the temperature of the cable network. At least one condition detecting device is configured to detect the condition of the wind energy system, and the control apparatus includes at least one control device configured to determine the power set point based on the detected temperature and the detected condition.

  • Patent number: 9878630
    Abstract: A device for transmitting data between a data transmission device of a vehicle and a data transmission device of a communications network, as part of a charging process of an electrical energy store of the vehicle, is disclosed. The vehicle data transmission device is based on a first communications protocol with a first signal level, while the communications network data transmission device is based on a second communications protocol with a second signal level. The device includes a signal-matching device having at least one first coupling transformer, which couples a data transmission device of a charging station to the data transmission devices of the vehicle and of the communications network via respective coils. The signal-matching device is configured to match the first signal level to the second signal level and vice versa.
