GRAVITY TYPE MOORING APPARATUS FOR SOLAR POWER PLANT CONSTRUCTED ON THE WATER

摘要

The present invention relates to a gravity-type mooring device for a marine solar power generating device capable of stably supporting a solar cell assembly not to be out of a preset region or not to rotate while smoothly receiving a high water level difference even though the water level difference is high by getting away from a conventional way of applying tension to a mooring rope with a sinker. The gravity-type mooring device for a marine solar power generating device includes: a roller installed in the solar cell assembly; a motor capable of providing a driving force to the roller; the mooring rope having one end connected to the sinker installed on the sea bed, and the other end installed with a weight and installed to be wound around the roller in order to apply a weight load to the solar cell assembly; a switching member selectively limiting the roller to be rotated or not to be rotated by an external force; a first sensor sensing an increase in water level; a second sensor sensing a decrease in water level; and a controller usually limiting the roller not to rotate by controlling the switching member, however, allowing the roller to rotate by controlling the switching member when the first sensor consistently senses an increase in water level for a predetermined time or the second sensor consistently senses a decrease in water level for a predetermined time.
