  • Publication number: 20230211857
    Abstract: The present invention provides a floater structure. The floater structure is used for bearing the tower of wind turbines, especially for the offshore wind turbines. The floater structure is constructed via a main column, two off columns and a pontoon. The off column is connected to any other main column and the off column via a horizontal bracing, and the pontoon is connected to the main column and the two off columns. The shape of the pontoon is triangle, and three corners of the triangle are round corners, polygon corners, or the combinations thereof.

  • Publication number: 20130229143
    Abstract: A multi-party communication control system and charge process of a DC charging system is provided. According battery pack information transmitted by a battery control system, a multi-party communication control device determines a charge current or a charge voltage and a voltage-controlled charge mode required by a battery pack. The multi-party communication control device then translates the charge voltage or the charge current to a CHAdeMO language that is next transmitted to a CHAdeMO charger.
