Arrangement for Stabilization of a Floating Foundation

Abstract

An arrangement for stabilization of a floating foundation, which is arranged to carry a wind-turbine mounted on a tower, is described. The foundation is fixed with a set of mooring cables. First endings of the mooring cables are attached to the foundation at a certain position while second endings of the mooring cables are attached to a floor. There is a second set of mooring-cables, while first endings of the second set of mooring-cables are attached to the foundation near or at its bottom end and while second endings of the second set of mooring-cables are attached to the floor, too.

         6 . Arrangement for stabilization of a floating foundation, comprising:
 a floating foundation;   a first set of mooring cables, the floating foundation being fixed with the first set of mooring cables, wherein first endings of the mooring cables are attached to the floating foundation at a certain position and second endings of the mooring cables are attached to a ground; and   a second set of mooring cables, wherein first endings of the second set of mooring-cables are attached to the floating foundation near or at its bottom end and second endings of the second set of mooring-cables are attached to the ground.   
     
     
         7 . The arrangement as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising:
 a wind turbine mounted on a tower, wherein the floating foundation is arranged to carry the wind turbine.   
     
     
         8 . The arrangement as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the certain position for the first endings of the first set of mooring cables is located below a waterline. 
     
     
         9 . The arrangement as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising:
 a balancing weight located on a lower end of the floating foundation.   
     
     
         10 . The arrangement as claimed in  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a balancing weight located an a lower end of the floating foundation.   
     
     
         11 . The arrangement as claimed in  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a balancing weight located on a lower end of the floating foundation.   
     
     
         12 . The arrangement as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising:
 anchors, wherein the second endings of the first set of mooring cables and the second endings of the second set of mooring cables are attached to the ground by the anchors.   
     
     
         13 . The arrangement as claimed in  claim 7 , further comprising:
 anchors, wherein the second endings of the first set of mooring cables and the second endings of the second set of mooring cables are attached to the ground by the anchors.   
     
     
         14 . The arrangement as claimed in  claim 8 , further comprising:
 anchors, wherein the second endings of the first set of mooring cables and the second endings of the second set of mooring cables are attached to the ground by the anchors.   
     
     
         15 . The arrangement as claimed in  claim 9 , further comprising:
 anchors, wherein the second endings of the first set of mooring cables and the second endings of the second set of mooring cables are attached to the ground by the anchors.   
     
     
         16 . The arrangement as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising:
 tensioning devices, wherein the first or the second set of mooring cables is fitted with the tensioning devices to allow an adjustment of a relative tautness of the respective set of mooring cables.   
     
     
         17 . The arrangement as claimed in  claim 7 , further comprising:
 tensioning devices, wherein the first or the second set of mooring cables is fitted with the tensioning devices to allow an adjustment of a relative tautness of the respective set of mooring cables.   
     
     
         18 . The arrangement as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising:
 tensioning devices, wherein the first and the second set of mooring cables are fitted with the tensioning devices to allow an adjustment of a relative tautness of the respective set of mooring cables.   
     
     
         19 . The arrangement as claimed in  claim 7 , further comprising:
 tensioning devices, wherein the first and the second set of mooring cables are fitted with the tensioning devices to allow an adjustment of a relative tautness of the respective set of mooring cables.
