1. A floating tension leg platform for wind energy utilisation, comprising:
a floating structure which in turns comprises a single floating central body, provided with an elongated configuration according to a longitudinal direction, the central body being provided with an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the lower portion is intended to be submerged, a base located in the upper portion of the central body, at least one wind turbine supported on the base; four pontoons, emerging from the lower portion of the central body and provided with:
a first end, by means of which each pontoon is integrally attached to the central body,a second end, opposite to the first end, and more distant from the central body, andat least one bracket located in the second end of each pontoon, said bracket comprising a first drilling in the longitudinal direction to anchor the floating platform to the sea bed; anchoring elements for fixing the platform to a sea bed; a plurality of tendons, having an elongated configuration and being adapted to support traction strains, wherein the tendons comprise:
upper ends intended to be connected to the brackets, andlower ends intended to be connected to the anchoring elements;wherein the central body and the pontoons together constitute a floating structure, wherein the central body and the pontoons are divided into compartments;wherein the platform further comprises:
a cable clamp mounted in the upper end of each tendon, to connect said tendon with its corresponding bracket, and a first connector, comprising:
an upper end provided with an upper bore for articulating the first connector with the cable clamp, anda lower end provided with a lower bore non-parallel to the upper bore, for articulating the first connector with a tendon. |
