Abstract: A method for manufacturing a floating foundation for a wind turbine, wherein the floating foundation comprises load carrying structures and a plurality of air pontoons attached to the load carrying structures, is disclosed. The method includes cutting one or more fiber-reinforced composite structures, such as wind turbine blades, into a plurality of smaller pieces comprising fiber-reinforced composite, molding the air pontoons from the smaller pieces, and attaching the air pontoons to the load carrying structures.

Abstract: A jacket type wind turbine foundation (jacket) for supporting a wind turbine tower comprises a jacket support structure configured to transfer loads from the tower to the seabed. A transition piece constituting the top part of the jacket is configured to transfer the loads and weight of the tower to a jacket support structure, having legs supported by a bracing system of cross members. Each leg is bolted to the transition piece, which comprises one or more cast transition piece segments, a floor, a centrally arranged entrance configured to allow access to the transition piece for staff and/or equipment, and one connection portion for each leg. Each connection portion is attached to a leg at a joint arranged at a level below the level of the floor of the transition piece.

Abstract: A cable interface system (20) for connecting internal cabling of a wind power facility (10), the cable interface system (20) comprising: a tower interface (32) associated with a tower (14) of the wind power facility (10), the tower interface comprising a support structure (80, 90) that is arranged to support a set of tower cables (36) in a fixed configuration; a nacelle interface (30) associated with a nacelle (18) of the wind power facility (10), the nacelle interface comprising a support structure (40) that is arranged to support a set of nacelle cables (34) in a fixed configuration; wherein the tower interface (32) is dockable with the nacelle interface (30) so that each tower cable (36) generally aligns with and can be joined to a corresponding nacelle cable (34).

Abstract: The invention provides a wind turbine comprising a nacelle and a rotor being rotatable about an axis and relative to the nacelle. The rotor comprises a plurality of blades mounted on a rotor-centre-structure and is adapted to be parked in a plurality of parking positions. Each of the parking positions provides at least two simultaneously appearing passages suitable for passage of personnel from the nacelle into an inner space in the rotor-centre-structure. Each passage is formed by a nacelle-opening into the nacelle in communication with a matching RCS-opening into the rotor-centre-structure.
