  • Patent number: 11920559
    Abstract: A floating platform for high-power wind turbines, comprising a concrete substructure, said concrete substructure forming the base of the platform, which remains semi-submerged in the operating position, and consisting of a square lower slab on which a series of beams and five hollow reinforced concrete cylinders are constructed, distributed at the corners and the center of said lower slab; a metal superstructure supported on the concrete substructure and forming the base for connection with the wind turbine tower, said tower being coupled at the center thereof; and metal covers covering each of the cylinders, on which the metal superstructure is supported and to which vertical pillars are secured, linked together by beams, which join at the central pillar by an element whereon the base of the wind turbine tower is secured.

  • Patent number: 8454304
    Abstract: Bearing support structure for turbines comprising an inner ring (1) and an outer ring (2) radially connected by means of structural vanes (5) and aerodynamic vanes (6) in a circumference-like arrangement between both rings (1, 2). The aerodynamic vanes (6) are thinner and lighter than the structural vanes (5), and the number of structural vanes (5) depends exclusively on the loads of the bearing (3) housed in the structure to be transmitted to the anchoring points (7) of the engine assembly located in the outer ring (2), and on the amount of service fluids which must go through between the inner ring (1) and the outer ring (2), while the number of aerodynamic vanes (6) and their section depends exclusively on the aerodynamic requirements demanded from the support structure for the straightening of the turbine main flow. Thus, the structural vanes (5) fulfill only structural functions and the aerodynamic vanes (6) fulfill only aerodynamic functions.
