Definitions

  • the invention concerns foundations for supporting equipment units such as wind turbines and the like and where these foundations are configured for placements on a seabed. More specifically, the invention concerns a method of obtaining vertical alignment of a support member suitable for carrying an equipment unit such as a wind turbine or the like, and which is configured for connection to a foundation installed on a seabed.
  • a requirement for towers that support wind turbines is that they have minimal or no deviation from perfect verticality.
  • the towers have been produced as standardized components that fit onto the foundations with flange connections located above sea level.
  • the methods for leveling have hitherto focused on presenting a level flange on which to install the tower.
  • the state of the art includes DE 10 2008 000 382 A1 which describes a method of measuring vertical misalignment of a foundation of a wind energy plant.
  • Two partial units of a direction correction unit are rotated around connection surfaces until a buckling is produced above the foundation in an area between the foundation and a resting mast, such that the mast is brought spatially into a reference adjustment.
  • One of the partial units is rotated around a connection surface that is perpendicular to a foundation axis until the reference adjustment of the mast is achieved.
  • WO 2011/007065 A1 describes a marine wind turbine having a base supporting a pylon and a wind motor.
  • the base comprises a tubular cavity, a lower portion of the pylon being embedded inside said tubular cavity via a device for adjusting the inclination of the axis of said pylon relative to the axis of said tubular cavity.
  • the inclination adjustment device includes separate setting means positioned between said lower portion of the pylon and said tubular cavity; and centring means rigidly connected to the lower portion of the pylon and/or the tubular cavity, located inside said tubular cavity below said setting means and capable of maintaining the point at which the axis of the lower portion of the pole and the axis of the tubular cavity intersect in a fixed position.
  • step c comprises the removing of a region from the first end of the support member, said region having a angular dimension corresponding to the angle of inclination.
  • step d is preceded by the attachment of a first flange to the end piece.
  • step d comprises the connection of the first flange to a second flange attached on the top end of a support structure extending from the foundation.
  • step d is executed above sea level.
  • step d is executed on an offshore installation site.
  • step a is preceded by the installation of the foundation with natural as-installed inclination on a seabed below a body of water, and a free end of the support structure member is extending above sea level.
  • the invented method of achieving verticality removes the need for costly and time-consuming offshore work and logistics, by allowing the top of the foundation to remain out of vertical.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a typical situation where a foundation 1 has been installed - in a manner known in the art - on a slant or uneven seabed B.
  • the foundation comprises a ballastable buoyancy body 1a having a bottom slab 2 and a soil-penetrating skirt 3.
  • a support structure, in this embodiment a tubular column, 4 extends from the body 1a to a distance above sea level S.
  • the tower 4 Due to seabed inclination and/or uneven skirt penetration, the tower 4 has a heel angle (or angle of inclination) ⁇ . This angle of inclination may be outside of the acceptable tolerances.
  • the angle of inclination is measured and transferred to the fabrication facilities where the wind turbine tower is being manufactured.
  • Figure 2 shows the end of the tower 5 which is to be connected to the tubular column 4.
  • the figure illustrates how the angle of inclination is transferred to the end of the tower 5, and an angular section 9 is removed, e.g. by grinding or sawing, leaving an angular end piece 8, having an angle corresponding to the foundation's angle of inclination ⁇ .
  • Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the tower 5, with its angular end piece 8, connected to the inclined column 4, and the tower is arranged at a vertical orientation with in acceptable tolerances for installing a wind turbine.
  • the connection is in this embodiment accomplished via respective flanges 6, 7 (see figure 4 ).

Claims (7)

  1. Procédé d'obtention d'un alignement vertical d'un élément de support (5) approprié pour porter une unité d'équipement telle qu'une éolienne ou analogue, et qui est configurée pour être connectée à une fondation (1) installée sur un fond marin (B), le procédé comprenant l'étape suivante:
    a) mesurer l'angle d'inclinaison (α) de la fondation,
    le procédé étant outre caractérisé par les étapes suivantes:
    b) transférer l'angle d'inclinaison (α) à une première extrémité de l'élément de support (5);
    c) former une pièce d'extrémité (8) sur la première extrémité de l'élément de support (5), la pièce d'extrémité (8) présentant une orientation angulaire par rapport à l'axe longitudinal (y) de l'élément de support qui correspond à l'angle d'inclinaison (α) et
    d) installer l'élément de support par l'intermédiaire de sa première extrémité à la fondation,
    l'élément de support adoptant de ce fait une orientation verticale.
  2. Procédé selon la revendication 1, dans lequel l'étape c) comprend l'enlèvement d'une région (9) de la première extrémité de l'élément de support, ladite région (9) présentant une dimension angulaire qui correspond à l'angle d'inclinaison (α).
