  • Patent number: 11149716
    Abstract: An offshore wind-solar-aquaculture integrated floater is provided, including vertical-axis wind turbine systems, solar photovoltaic panels, and a cube aquaculture cage. Four vertical-axis wind turbine systems are respectively rigidly connected to four corners of the cage; solar photovoltaic panels and a living and working quarter are located on cage deck; and side frames of the cage are equipped with tensile nets, the bottom frame of cage is equipped with a bottom net, and columns of the cage are equipped with lifting rails. This floater has good stability, sea-keeping performance and high strength. Utilizations of offshore wind and solar energy above the cage are high and they complement each other in power generation. This disclosure manages to exploit ocean resources to an unprecedentedly large extent, while resolving the issue of combing power generation with marine aquaculture in moderate and deep seas.
