DESCRIPTION

Platform installation State of the art

The invention is based on a platform installation according to the preamble of claim 1.

In GB 2 383 978 B, which is considered as the most recent state of the art, a platform installation with a floating platform intended to support at least one energy production unit above the water level has already been proposed , the platform presenting at least one outer edge area with at least one wave absorbing element that is intended to reduce the effect of the waves within the outer edge area to a defined value.

The invention is especially intended to provide a platform installation that allows an alternative electric current production in which ecological and political repairs are especially reduced. Therefore, the invention especially presents the task of facilitating the obtaining of a permit for the construction of regenerative energy production units and thus providing a simple electric energy production, thereby facilitating the realization of a percentage greater than a non-polluting electric current production.

Advantages of the invention

The invention is based on a platform installation with at least one floating platform intended to support at least one unit of energy production at least in part above the water level.

The invention also starts with the platform having at least one outer edge area with at least one wave absorbing element that is intended to reduce the effect of the waves within the outer edge area to a defined value. By means of the wave absorber element, an area can be provided, for example the outer edge zone, in a sea in which, compared to the open sea, there is a smaller wave effect. As a consequence, secure support can be provided for the units of energy production on the water, whereby the site, which is the sea, can be used, with its advantages such as, for example, huge usable surfaces for energy production. Thanks to the installation of the platform, new possibilities can be created to obtain regenerative energy. With the use of maritime surfaces, it is possible to obtain a permit for the construction of energy production units that usually give rise to objections, especially for aesthetic and legal reasons for the protection of nature, which allows an electric current production more simple By "intended" it must be understood as specially equipped and / or conceived. By "bearing above the water level" it should be understood in this regard especially that the energy production unit is maintained by the platform, at least in part, above the water level. By "wave effect", a variation of the support surface of the platform caused by the waves and, consequently, a variation of the position of the energy production units is to be understood. The platform advantageously covers a sea water surface with the support surface. The platform advantageously covers a surface of sea water of at least 1 square kilometer, especially at least 2 square kilometers and with a special advantage of more than 5 square kilometers. The wave absorber element preferably has a diameter of at least 60 centimeters, especially at least 80 centimeters and with a special advantage of between 90 and 100 centimeters.

The at least one wave absorption element reduces the effect of the waves preferably in the direction of a geometric center of the platform. The at least one wave absorbing element reduces the effect of the waves advantageously in this direction to a defined value of less than 80% of an initial wave effect, especially less than 60% of the initial wave effect and especially less than 30% of the initial wave effect. By "initial wave effect" a wave effect that exists before the collision with the platform, that is, on an outer edge of several sides of the platform, which is produced from a wave height of at least at least a meter, that is, a wave with a height of 1 meter is reduced, at most, to 80 centimeters of wave height, 60 centimeters of wave height or 30 centimeters of wave height. The outer edge advantageously surrounds the platform and therefore encloses the seawater surface. A length of the outer edge along one of the sides corresponds advantageously to at least one kilometer, especially at least two kilometers and with a special advantage over three kilometers.

It is further proposed that the outer edge area has a radial extension of at least 50 meters and that the wave absorption element be provided to reduce the effect of the waves through the radial extension of the outer edge area to the defined value . In this way an especially advantageous outer edge area can be achieved. By "radial extension" it is especially understood an extension that develops from the outer edge of the sea side of the platform in the direction of the geometric center of the platform.

In an advantageous embodiment variant, the platform has at least one central area that has a defined radial distance from the outer edge and in which the effect of the waves is at least fundamentally canceled. In this way, an especially advantageous platform or an especially advantageous area can be achieved. By "fundamentally" it should be understood in this regard especially that the effect of

the waves in the central zone is less than 30% of the initial effect of the waves. The effect of the waves in the central area is advantageously less than 10% of the initial effect of the waves. By "radial distance" it is especially understood a distance that develops from the outer edge of several sides of the platform in the direction of the geometric center of the platform. The central area is preferably surrounded by the outer edge area and is between the outer edge area and the open sea. The radial distance advantageously ranges between 300 and 700 meters, the preferably defined radial distance being at least 500 meters. Preferably, the central area has an area of at least one square meter.

According to the invention it is proposed that the wave absorber element be elastically configured. In this way, flexibility and, therefore, an adaptation to the variations of the sea water surface can be achieved without the need for articulations, thereby reducing the wear of the platform. The elastic wave absorption element preferably reduces the effect of waves as a result of wave energy absorption. The wave absorbing element thus advantageously reduces the swell. In this way the entire platform can be performed especially without joints.

In a preferred embodiment variant, the platform has at least one breakwater element arranged essentially horizontally and intended to reduce swell. Thus the effect of the waves can be advantageously reduced. A “breakwater element” has to be understood especially as an element that reduces the energy of the waves by breaking the waves, transforming it into turbulence. The breakwater elements are preferably arranged above and / or below the water level. The breakwater element is advantageously configured as a sheet, especially as a sheet with waves. By "horizontal" it should be understood in this sense especially that a main extension surface of the breakwater element develops parallel to the water level. By "at least fundamentally, a maximum difference of 10 degrees with respect to the horizontal arrangement must be understood in this regard.

It is also proposed that the wave absorber element has a principal extension direction oriented essentially parallel to the water level. Thus you can reduce the energy of the waves with special efficiency. The wave absorber element is preferably configured tubularly.

It is also proposed that the platform has at least one other wave absorption element, at least two wave absorption elements being arranged parallel to each other. In this way the effect of the waves of a larger surface of seawater covered by the platform can be reduced. The platform preferably has a plurality of wave absorption elements arranged in parallel. The platform advantageously has hundreds, preferably thousands of wave absorption elements.

It is especially advantageous for the platform installation to have a joint unit without joints intended to join the at least two wave absorption elements at a defined distance from each other. Thus, an especially advantageous union of the wave absorption elements can be achieved. The defined distance is advantageously less than an axial extension of the wave absorption elements in the main extension direction. The union unit joins the two wave absorption elements preferably in parallel. The defined distance of the wave absorption elements is advantageously greater than one meter.

With special preference the wave absorber element is at least partially configured as a vertical thrust element. In this way, a vertical thrust can be provided with special advantage for the support of at least one energy production unit.

In accordance with the invention it is proposed that the platform installation has at least one payload supported by a wave absorption element, which is intended to cause a movement of the wave absorption element of at least 75%. In this way the effect of the waves can be reduced very effectively. By "caused displacement", a volume of water displaced by the wave absorber element in relation to the entire volume of the wave absorber element is to be understood.

It is also advantageous that the platform installation has at least one wind turbine and / or at least one photovoltaic installation. In this way, complementary energy can be produced, which results in continuous energy production. The assembly of wind turbines and / or photovoltaic installations on the open sea platform can increase the efficiency of wind turbines and / or photovoltaic installations, since on the high seas there are hardly any obstacles that can slow the wind or make shadows. By a "complementary energy production" one must especially understand an at least partially complementary energy production. The platform installation can advantageously present at least one solar thermal installation. Preferably, the platform installation presents several photovoltaic installations and / or several wind turbines that constitute a photovoltaic power plant and / or a wind power plant. Preferably, the at least one energy production unit consists of the wind turbine or the photovoltaic installation.

In another variant according to the invention it is proposed that the platform installation has at least one vertical thrust element independent of the wave absorber element, which is provided to support at least one independent payload. Thus an additional load can be applied to the platform device. By "independent vertical thrust element" is meant especially a vertical thrust element which, regardless of the wave absorbing elements, provides additional vertical thrust. Preferably, the independent vertical thrust element is balanced with respect to the wave absorber element, that is, the vertical thrust element absorbs on its own and completely the independent payload.

It is especially advantageous for the platform installation to have at least one unit for the accumulation of energy and / or for the transformation of the energy provided for accumulating and / or transforming an energy produced by the at least one unit of energy production. In this way, the production of complementary energy can be improved, so that a continuous energy production can also be improved. The energy transformation unit preferably obtains or produces hydrogen. The energy accumulation unit is advantageously configured as a hydrogen tank for hydrogen storage. In principle, the energy accumulation unit can also be configured as a batting unit.

In principle, the energy produced by the platform installation can also be accumulated and transformed externally. Especially advantageous is an accumulation of the electric energy produced by the installation of the platform as a potential energy. The accumulation of energy preferably occurs in a reservoir, such as a reservoir in Switzerland. The discharge of the reservoir and the filling of the reservoir are advantageously produced separately, whereby the filling of the reservoir is carried out with the energy produced by the platform device. Preferably, the discharge of the reservoir is carried out according to the energy demand and the filling of the reservoir according to the energy supply. In particular, the discharge and filling of the reservoir are carried out simultaneously or at the same time.

In principle, it is also possible that the at least one wave absorber element has at least one hollow space provided for the reception of hydrogen. Thus an especially simple energy accumulation unit can be realized. Preferably, the hollow space of the wave absorber element is configured at least in part as a hydrogen reservoir. For configuration in the form of a hydrogen tank, the wave absorbing element is advantageously coated with a layer impermeable to hydrogen.

It is also provided that the platform installation has at least one fixing and / or investment unit intended to fix the platform and / or to rotate it around a turning rod. In this way the efficiency of the at least one photovoltaic installation can be increased. In principle, the fixing unit and the investment unit are configured separately, and it is also possible to dispense with the investment unit. Preferably, the rotation of the platform is limited to an angular range.

In another variant of embodiment according to the invention, the wave absorber element is disposed at a defined depth below the water level. Thus, another simple variant of a wave absorption element can be made. The wave absorption element arranged below the water level advantageously decouples the platform, at least in part, from the waves, thereby reducing the effect of the waves on the platform. A "defined depth" should especially be understood as a weighted distance resulting from the payload between a longitudinal rod of the wave absorber element and the water level.

It is also advantageous that the platform has at least two platform modules. In this way the platform can be assembled and / or manufactured in a particularly simple way. Preferably, the platform size can be chosen at least partially in any way thanks to the platform modules. The platform module advantageously presents several wave absorbing elements welded together along the main extension direction. The wave absorber elements welded together are preferably arranged parallel to other wave absorber elements welded together.

It is also proposed a procedure for the manufacture of the platform installation in which the wave absorption element is extruded directly into the sea. Thus it is especially easy to transport the wave absorption elements. Especially, wave absorption elements with the greatest possible axial length can be manufactured, without taking into account possible transport or space problems. The wave absorption elements pass preferably, before reaching the sea, through a refrigeration and / or treatment unit. By "direct" it is especially understood that an extrusion movement is used to push the wave absorption element into the sea. During the extrusion process or an extrusion movement at least a part of the wave absorbing element is preferably found in seawater. In principle, another part of the wave absorption element can be supported on firm ground and / or an assembly or treatment of the wave absorption element on firm ground can be carried out. Advantageously, the wave absorber element is introduced into the extrusion process in seawater without support on the mainland.

Description of the examples of realization

An example of embodiment of a platform installation according to the invention is illustrated in Figures 1 to 18. In figure 1 the whole platform seen from above is schematically represented. The platform installation is in the 70th sea. It is anchored in the 70th sea at a distance of more than 70 km from a 72nd coast. The platform installation presents in this embodiment an square shape. It produces regenerative energy. The platform installation has been built in the form of anchored raft.

For supply and evacuation and, therefore, maintenance operations, the platform installation comprises a channel 74a, a channel 74a 'and a surface 76a. Channel 74a, channel 74a 'and surface 76a divide the platform installation. The channel 74a, the channel 74a 'and the surface 76a are realized by means of a surface of free sea water within the platform installation. The surface 76a is arranged in a central area 36a displaced with respect to the geometric center of the platform installation. Channel 74a and channel 74a 'respectively develop from an outer edge 40a of the platform installation towards surface 76a, the opposite channels 74a, 74a' being arranged relative to surface 76a. The two channels 74a, 74a 'are configured as access roads for water vehicles. In this way the water vehicle can reach the surface 76a from two opposite sides. In this exemplary embodiment, channel 74a and channel 74a 'respectively have a width of 48 m. The surface 76a has a width and length of about 360 m.

For the docking of the water vehicle, the platform installation has two docks. The springs are located on surface 76a. The two springs are arranged opposite each other. The platform installation also includes accommodation for staff, a congress center, a communication post, a helipad and an underwater cable. The submarine cable is intended for the transmission of electric current to a transmission station located on the 72nd coast. The submarine cable is below the water level 22a.

The platform installation has two types of energy production units. The two types of energy production units are partly complementary, that is, the two types of energy production units are partly complementary. The first type of energy production units consists of photovoltaic installations. The second type of energy production units consists of wind turbines. Figure 1 shows the energy production units formed by photovoltaic installations in the form of boxes 78a.

In Figure 1 the units of production of Jan ^ a formed by wind turbines are represented by a symbol 80a.

Since, as a general rule, in sunny days and, therefore, with a cloudless sky, the wind does not usually blow, so that the first type of energy production units produces energy, and in case of cloudy sky and lack of sun It is the second of the energy production units that produces energy, the platform installation can normally produce regenerative energy continuously. The energy production units formed by photovoltaic installations and the energy production units formed by wind turbines are therefore complementary.

In order to support several energy production units formed by photovoltaic installations above the water level 22a of the sea 70a, the platform installation has a floating platform 10a. The 10th platform has several platform modules. The platform modules are connected to each other The platform modules connected to each other form a uniform platform in homogeneous sf 10a.

Platform 10a covers a defined seawater surface. The platform 10a also has the outer edge 40a. Channel 74a, channel 74a 'and surface 76a are disposed within platform 10a as free seawater surfaces, dividing channels 74a, 74a' and surface 76a platform 10a. The platform 10a presents passable surfaces specially designed for the maintenance and conservation of the energy production units.

The platform 10a has an outer edge zone 24a, an intermediate zone 82a and the central zone 36a (compare figure 14). The outer edge zone 24a surrounds the intermediate zone 82a and the central zone 36a. The outer edge area 24a is located by the sea side on platform 10a. The outer edge zone 24a is limited by the sea side by the outer edge 40a. The outer edge 40a surrounds the outer edge area 24a. The intermediate zone 82a lies between the outer edge zone 24a and the central zone 36a on the platform 10a. The intermediate zone 82a limits the outer edge zone 24a in the direction of the geometric center of the platform 10a. The intermediate zone 82a limits the central zone 36a.

The outer edge zone 24a has a radial extension 34a. The outer edge zone 24a is defined by the radial extension 34a. The radial extension 34a is developed from the outer edge 40a in the direction of the geometric center of the platform 10a or the central area 36a. The geometric center of the platform 10a corresponds to the geometric center of the platform installation. The central zone 36a has a defined distance 36a with respect to the outer edge 40a.

A platform surface of the platform modules linked between sf and a number of platform modules linked to each other are in principle variable. In this embodiment, the platform modules have a length of approx. 120 m and a width of approx. 36 m Especially in the area of the surface 76a and in the area along the channels 74a, 74a ', the length and width of the platform modules can be differentiated. The platform 10a has in this embodiment a length and width of approx. 3400 meters. The seawater surface covered by platform 10a is, therefore, about 11.56 km2. The platform 10a therefore has about 2600 platform modules connected to each other

For the reduction of a wave effect, the platform 10a presents several wave absorption elements. Wave absorption elements reduce the effect of waves within a defined value within the outer edge area 24a. They reduce the effect of the waves in the direction of the geometric center of the platform 10a or in the direction of the geometric center of the platform installation. The radial extension 34a of the outer edge area 24a is 50 meters. Wave absorption elements reduce the effect of waves through the radial extension 34a of the outer edge area 24a to the defined value.

Wave absorption elements nullify the effect of waves primarily in the central area 36a. According to the defined radial distance 38a, starting from the outer edge 40a of the platform 10a in the direction of the geometric center of the platform 10a, the wave absorbing elements establish a calm swell zone of the platform 10a. The surface 76a therefore has no waves compared to the outer edge 40a of the platform 10a. The surface 76a is configured as a calm water surface. The defined radial distance from the outer edge 40a is about 500 meters.

All wave absorption elements of platform 10a are configured analogously. For clarity only the wave absorption elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a, 184a, 268a are represented (compare Figures 2 to 10). The wave absorption elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a, 184a, 268a respectively have a principal extension direction 42a essentially parallel to the water level 22a. The wave absorption elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a, 184a, 268a are respectively configured as elongated wave absorption elements. For the conformation of the platform 10a, the wave absorption elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a, 184a, 268a are joined together along their main extension direction 42a and along a direction 84a perpendicular to the main extension address 42a and parallel to the water level 22a. Along its main extension direction 42a, the wave absorption elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a, 184a, 268a are arranged directly behind each other. Along the direction 84a perpendicular to the main extension direction 42a and parallel to the water level 22a, the wave absorbing elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a, 184a, 268a are arranged spaced apart from each other .

The wave absorption elements joined directly behind each other are arranged parallel to other wave absorption elements connected directly behind each other. All wave absorption elements of platform 10a are therefore arranged in a linear fashion. In principle, another provision is also possible that the person skilled in the art deems convenient, for example, an arrangement in frames or a provision that alternates frames and lines.

The wave absorption elements separated from the channels 74a, 74a 'are connected to each other by means of a connection that crosses the channel 74a or 74a' below the water level 22a or above the water level 22a. This connection has a distance from the water level 22a, so that the channels 74a, 74a 'larger aquatic vehicles can also be used.

Wave absorption element 26a and wave absorption element 28a are shown in Figures 2 to 8. Wave absorption element 26a is tubular in shape. It has also been configured elastically. It has been configured as an elastic tube with a hollow space. The wave absorbing element 26a reduces the effect of the waves by reducing or damping a wave. The wave absorbing element 26a is resistant to seawater and UV rays. The wave absorption element 26a is made of polyethylene. The wave absorber element 26a has a diameter of 90 cm, a wall thickness of 2 cm and an axial extension in the direction of the main extension 42a of 20 meters.

All wave absorption elements of platform 10a are configured analogously to that of wave absorption element 26a. In this embodiment, a platform module 24 has wave absorption elements. Respectively six wave absorption elements are welded together along their main extension address 42a, thereby defining the platform module length of approx. 120 m The wave absorption elements are arranged in four rows, thereby defining the width of the platform module of approx. 36 m A row corresponds to the six absorption elements of waves welded together. The six wave absorber elements welded together are arranged parallel to the other six wave absorber elements welded together.

To avoid that, in the event of a leakage of the wave absorption element 28a, the wave absorption element 268a is flooded or vice versa, the wave absorption elements 28a, 268a are separated from each other along their direction of main extension 42a by means of a bulkhead 270a (compare figure 2). The wave absorber elements 28a, 268a are welded together through the bulkhead 270a. Bulkhead 270a is disposed within the hollow spaces of the wave absorbing elements 28a, 268a. Bulkhead 207a separates the hollow spaces from the wave absorbing elements 28a, 268a from the technical point of view of flow. Bulkhead 270a has been configured as an inner tube whose outer diameter corresponds to an inner diameter of the wave absorbing elements 28a, 268a. One side 272a of bulkhead 270a is welded. A side 274a of the bulkhead 270a is open in this embodiment. Bulkhead 270a is also elastic. In principle the bulkhead can be of solid material.

For welding of the bulkhead 270a to the wave absorbing element 28a and to the wave absorbing element 268a and, consequently, for welding the wave absorbing elements 28a, 268a, respectively, a heating wire 276a is provided on the sides 272a , 274a of the 270th bulkhead. Bulkhead 270a is welded from within by means of the heating wire 276a with the wave absorbing element 268a and by means of the heating wire 278a with the wave absorbing element 28a.

All wave absorbing elements arranged directly behind each other of platform 10a are welded together analogously along their main extension direction 42a. All screens are configured analogously to that of bulkhead 270a. This prevents flooding of all wave absorbing elements arranged behind each other in case of leakage of any of the wave absorbing elements.

In this exemplary embodiment, the hollow spaces of the wave absorbing elements are separated rheotechnically after 20 m. In principle it is also possible a separation at a different distance from the hollow spaces by means of the bulkheads depending on the axial extension of the wave absorbing elements, the axial extension of the wave absorbing elements being preferably greater than 5 meters and with special preference greater than 10 meters. A maximum axial extension of the wave absorption elements corresponds to the length of the platform module.

For the calculation of the waves of the waves, the platform 10a presents breakwaters 280a, 282a, 284a. The breakwater elements 280a, 282a, 284a are arranged above the water level 22a on steel supports 86a, 88a, 108a, 110a. The breakwater elements 280a, 284a are arranged above the steel supports 86a, 88a, 108a, 110a. The breakwater element 282a is disposed below the steel supports 86a, 88a, 108a, 110a. The breakwater elements 280a, 282a, 284a are disposed between the wave absorbing elements 26a, 28a. The breakwater elements 280a, 282a, 284a break the wave of the waves mainly along the wave absorbing elements 26a, 28a in the direction of the geometric center of the platform 10a. The breakwater elements 280a, 282a, 284a are arranged in two different horizontal planes.

In this exemplary embodiment, several breakwaters in each steel support are arranged in the outer edge zone 24a and in the intermediate zone 82a, decreasing the number of breakwaters in the direction of

geometric center In the central area 36a no breakwaters are provided. All breakwater elements are configured and arranged analogously to that of breakwater elements 280a, 282a, 284a.

For the distanced union of the wave absorption elements of the platform 10a along the direction 84a perpendicular to the main extension direction 42a and parallel to the water level 22a the platform installation has several articulated joint units. The joining units join the wave absorption elements at a defined distance 48a without joints. The defined distance 48a is much smaller than the length of the platform module. In this embodiment, the platform module length corresponds to approximately ten times the defined distance 48a. The defined distance 48a is in this embodiment of 12 m.

In figure 3 a union unit 44a and a union unit 46a are shown. The joining units 44a, 46a join the wave absorption element 26a and the wave absorption element 28a at the defined distance 48a.

The union unit 44a consists of several pieces. The union unit 44a has two steel supports 86a, 88a and four connection points 90a, 92a, 94a, 96a. The steel supports 86a, 88a are arranged parallel at a distance 286a. The steel supports 86a, 88a are arranged transversely with respect to the wave absorbing elements 26a, 28a. The steel supports 86a, 88a are protected against corrosion. The steel supports 86a, 88a are respectively configured as IPE steel supports. The steel supports 86a, 88a are respectively configured as structural steel supports with a profile of I. The distance 286a is 2 m.

The junction points 90a, 92a of the union unit 44a join the wave absorbing element 28a to the steel supports 86a, 88a. The junction points 94a, 96a of the union unit 44a join the wave absorbing element 26a to the steel supports 86a, 88a.

The attachment point 90a has an easel, two duplication elements 98a, 100a, a load distribution element 102a and two fasteners 104a, 106a (compare 4 and 5). The doubling elements 98a, 100a prevent wear of the wave absorbing element 28a by the clamping elements 104a, 106a. The duplication elements 98a, 100a are configured respectively as a hemisphere. The doubling elements 98a, 100a partially surround the wave absorbing element 28a along its inner contour. The doubling element 98a is arranged partly between the clamping elements 104a, 106a and the wave absorbing element 28a and partly above the water level 22a. The doubling element 100a is arranged completely between the clamping elements 104a, 106a and the wave absorbing element 28a and completely below the water level 22a. Along its outer penimeter it fits the load distribution element 102a. The duplication element 100a conforms to the clamping elements 104a, 106a. The doubling elements 98a, 100a are respectively made of polyurethane (PUR).

The load distribution element 102a distributes the clamping force between the doubling element 100a and, therefore, the wave absorbing element 28a. It is configured as a hemisphere. The load distribution element 102a is disposed between the clamping elements 104a, 106a and in the duplication element 100a. An extension of the load distribution element 102a in the direction of the main extension address 42a is less than an extension of the duplication elements 98a, 100a in the direction of the main extension address 42a. The load distribution element 102a is configured in the form of a load distribution plate.

The fasteners 104a, 106a provide the joint between the steel support 86a and the wave absorber element 28a. The fasteners 104a, 106a form the easel. They also provide the clamping force. The fasteners 104a, 106a are round or u-shaped. They are arranged next to each other. The fasteners 104a, 106a are configured respectively in the form of steel cables.

For the attachment of the fasteners 104a, 106a to the steel support 86a the fasteners 104a, 106a have, by their ends or by their principles, individual threads. The fasteners 104a, 106a are connected respectively through two nuts arranged in their two ends or principles, in a drive, to the steel supports 86a. Within the steel support 86a configured as an IPE steel support, the fastening elements are axially separated by means of an I-profile separation wall. The junction points 92a, 94a, 96a are configured analogously to that of the point of union 90a. The junction point 92a joins the steel support 88a to the wave absorption element 28a, the junction point 94a joins the steel support 86a to the wave absorption element 26a and the junction point 96a joins the steel support 88a to the wave absorption element 26a.

The configuration of the union unit 46a is analogous. The union unit 46a has two steel supports 108a, 110a and four connection points 112a, 114a, 116a, 118a. The steel support 88a of the joint unit 44a is disposed transversely in the wave absorbing elements 26a, 28a at a distance 288a with respect to the steel support 108a of the joint unit 46a. The steel supports 86a, 88a, 108a, 110a are configured as flat steel supports. The breakwater elements 280a, 282a, 284a are arranged transversely with respect to the steel supports 86a, 88a, 108a, 110a. The distance 288a is 4 m.

The union points 112a, 114a, 116a, 118a are configured analogously to that of the union points 90a, 92a, 94a, 96a of the union unit 44a. The junction point 112a joins the wave absorbing element 28a to the steel support 108a. The junction point 114a joins the wave absorbing element 28a to the steel support 110a. The junction point 116a joins the wave absorption element 26a to the steel support 108a. Union point 118a joins the

wave absorption element 26a to the steel support 110a. All the union units of the platform installation are configured analogously to that of the union units 44a, 46a.

To travel more quickly on a path on platform 10a, for example for the maintenance of platform 10a, it is possible that part of the joint units or all the union units of the platform 10a have bent and bent steel supports. In principle, all union units can also have only flat steel supports.

In this exemplary embodiment, part of the union units has angled steel supports and another part of the union units flat steel supports. The union unit 290a has an angled steel support 292a. The unit of an ion 290a joins the wave absorption element 28a to the absorption element 30a at a defined distance 48a.

The angled steel support 292a of the union unit 290a has two projections 294a, 296a and a plane 298a. Plane 298a is disposed between protrusions 294a, 296a. As a consequence of the protrusions 294a, 296a the plane 298a is disposed at a distance 300a above the water level 22a. The distance 300a provides a step height between the wave absorbing elements 28a, 30a for an aquatic vehicle 302a. The angled steel support 292a of the union unit 290a bends in comparison with the flat steel support 110a of the union unit 46a at about 45 degrees. The distance 300a is 2.50 m. A length 304a of the plane 298a is about 8 m. A length 306a of the protrusions 294a, 296a is about 2.80 m. A length of the angled steel support 292a is 15 a, with approx. 0.70 m of steel support 292a at both ends for joining the respective wave absorber element 28a, 30a.

The joining units presenting the angled steel supports are arranged one behind the other along the wave absorbing elements welded together. Due to the angled steel supports, the aquatic vehicle 302a can move along the wave absorbing elements, whereby the paths within the platform 10a can be traveled more quickly. The wave absorbing elements arranged in the outer edge area 24a are joined only by means of joining units having flat steel supports (compare Figures 6 and 7). Only the wave-absorbing elements of intermediate zone 82a and central zone 36a are partially joined by means of the joining units having bent steel supports (compare figure 8). Between the wave absorbing elements joined by angled steel supports no breakwater elements are provided. All angled steel brackets are configured analogously to that of angled 292a steel bracket.

To support a first useful load the wave absorption elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a, 184a, 268a and the other wave absorption elements of the platform 10a are respectively configured as vertical thrust elements. The wave absorption elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a, 184a, 268a and the other wave absorption elements of the platform 10a provide a vertical thrust that supports or supports the first payload, a weight of the units of union 44a, 46a and a weight of the other units of union of the platform 10a, a weight of the passable base, a weight of the breakwater elements and their own weight above the water level 22a. Wave absorption elements, breakwaters and joint units constitute platform 10a. The platform 10a especially supports the first payload above the water level 22a.

The first payload causes a displacement of the wave absorption elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a, 184a, 268a of 80% of their own volume. Due to the payload there is a volume of 80% n of the wave absorbing elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a, 184a, 268a below the water level 22a. A sizing of the wave absorption elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a, 184a, 268a is governed by the first payload that fundamentally adjusts the displacement of the wave absorption elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a , 184a, 268a by 80%. For the realization of a soft construction the sizing of the wave absorption elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a, 184a, 268a is produced exclusively based on the first assumed payload, not considering any flexion. The first payload is conceived as a weight of the first type of energy production unit 12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 308a, 310a, 312a, 314a and the rest as an energy production unit configured as a photovoltaic installation. The first useful load is therefore the energy production units formed by photovoltaic installations. The platform 10a fundamentally supports the energy production units formed by the photovoltaic installations.

The energy production unit 12a formed by the photovoltaic installation, the energy production unit 14a formed by the photovoltaic installation, the energy production unit 16a formed by the photovoltaic installation and the energy production unit 18a formed by the installation Photovoltaic are arranged in steel supports 86a, 88a or steel supports 108a, 110a (compare figures 3, 6 and 7). The energy production units 12a, 14a are arranged in the steel supports 86a, 88a of the union unit 44a and the energy production units 16a, 18a in the steel support 108a, 110a of the union unit 46a. The energy production units 12a, 14a are arranged, in relation to address 84a, displaced with respect to the energy production units 16a, 18a. The energy production unit 308a formed by the photovoltaic installation and the energy production unit 312a formed by the photovoltaic installation are arranged in the angled steel support 292a of the union unit 290a. The energy production unit 310a formed by the photovoltaic installation and the energy production unit 314a formed by the photovoltaic installation are arranged in a cranked steel support not shown in detail between the elements of

wave absorption 28a, 30a. The steel support not shown in detail is arranged behind the angled steel support 292a.

The energy production unit 16a has a steel grid construction 120a, a photovoltaic module (PV module) 122a and a deflection unit. The PV module 122a is placed on the steel construction 120a and rests on the steel supports 108a, 110a. Due to the steel construction 120a the module PV 122a is located at a distance 316a above the water level 22a. The steel construction 120a is reinforced - Thanks to the deflection unit the steel construction 120a and the PV module 122a can be moved with respect to the main extension direction 42a of the wave absorbing element 28a in an angular range, whereby the steel construction 120a and the PV module 122a partly perform a movement corresponding to the swell (compare the striped illustration of figure 7). The distance 316a is 6 m.

The energy production units 12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 308a, 310a, 312a, 314a are configured analogously. The energy production unit 12a has a PV module 124a, the energy production unit 14a has a PV module 126a and the energy production unit 18a has a PV module 128a, which are arranged in a partially mobile way through a deviation unit. The energy production unit 12a also has a steel grid construction 130a, the energy production unit 14a also has a steel grid construction 132a and the energy production unit 18a also has a steel grid construction 134a . The PV module 124a or 126a is disposed with respect to the PV module 128a or 122a at a distance 318a between the wave absorbing elements 26a, 28a. The distance 318a is 1 m.

The energy production units 308a, 310a, 312a, 314a respectively have a PV module 320a, 322a, 324, 326a placed through a steel construction 328a, 330a, 332a, 334a in the steel support 292a. The distance of PV modules 320a, 322a, 324a, 326a above the water level 22a is equal to the distance 316a of the PV modules 12a, 14a, 16a, 18a above the water level 22a. Therefore, steel constructions 328a, 330a, 332a, 334a and steel constructions 120a, 130a, 132a, 134a have different heights.

All the energy production units formed by the photovoltaic installations are configured analogously to that of the energy production units 12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 308a, 310a, 312a, 314a. A distance that the PV modules present above the water level 22a decreases in the direction of the geometric center. The PV modules arranged in the outer edge area 24a have a distance above the water level 22a of approx. 6 m. The PV modules arranged in the intermediate zone 82a have a distance above the water level 22a of approx. 4 m. The modules Pv arranged in the central area 36a have a distance above the water level 22a of approx. 1 m.

To support a payload independent of the first payload, the platform installation has several vertical thrust elements. In figures 9 to 12 only four vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a are shown. The remaining vertical thrust elements are configured essentially analogously.

All vertical thrust elements are independent of the wave absorbing elements and, therefore, of the platform 10a. The vertical thrust elements have a vertical thrust that supports their own weight, a weight of the coupling units provided for the coupling of the vertical thrust elements to the wave absorbing elements and the independent payload above the water level. 22nd Wave absorption elements only support the first payload. All existing vertical thrust elements in the platform installation jointly support the independent payload. The vertical thrust of the vertical thrust elements can be differentiated compared to other vertical thrust elements.

The independent payload is configured as the sum of a weight of the second type of the energy production unit, a weight of the dock, a weight of the staff accommodation, a weight of the congress center, a weight of the communication pole, a weight of the helipad, a weight of the submarine cable, a weight of a clamping device and a weight of an energy accumulation and energy transformation unit 58a. The independent payload is the generic term of all additional loads necessary for the operation of the platform installation.

The independent payload conceived as an additional load and, therefore, the vertical thrust elements are arranged in the central area 36a of the platform 10a within the platform 10a, in which the effect of the waves is fundamentally annulled by the elements of absorption of waves. The energy production units formed by wind turbines, the docks, the staff accommodation, the congress center, the communication post, the helipad and the energy accumulation and energy transformation unit 58a are arranged in the central area 36a . The energy production units formed by wind turbines are arranged at a distance of at least 500 m from the outer edge 40a of the geometric center of the platform 10a inside and, consequently in the direction of the geometric center of the platform 10a.

A position of the vertical thrust elements depends on the position of the weight to be supported or the load to be supported. A number and the vertical thrust of the respective vertical thrust elements depend on the weight to be supported or the load to be supported. The vertical thrust elements are thus arranged in the position of the platform 10a or of the platform installation in which the additional vertical thrust is required for an additional load of the independent payload. The vertical thrust elements are arranged respectively between the wave absorbing elements.

In figures 9 and 10 the vertical thrust element 50a is shown. The vertical thrust element 50a is disposed between the wave absorber element 30a and the wave absorber element 32a. The other vertical thrust elements not shown in detail are configured analogously or arranged analogously between the wave absorbing elements.

The vertical thrust element 50a is a precast concrete piece. The vertical thrust element 50a is resistant to seawater and is reinforced with fiberglass. The vertical thrust element 50a has a chamber 136a. When flooding the chamber, that is, when filled with seawater, the vertical thrust of the vertical thrust element 50a can be adapted to the weight or load to be supported. The vertical thrust element 50a also has a control well 138a and balancing bulkheads 140a. The balancing bulkheads 140a separate the chamber 136a from the vertical thrust element 50a to a defined height in four individual chambers. The vertical thrust element 50a has a length 146a of 10 m, a width 144a of 10 m and a height 142a of 7 m. The vertical thrust element 50a has its own weight of 260 tons. The draft is 2.6 m. The vertical thrust and, therefore, the bearable independent payload of the vertical thrust element 50a can be adjusted by flooding chamber 136a between 0 tons and 300 tons.

For coupling or securing the vertical thrust element 50a and the other vertical thrust elements of the platform installation to the respective wave absorption elements, the platform installation has several coupling units. The vertical thrust element 50a is fixed by means of a coupling unit 148a.

The coupling unit 148a fixes the vertical thrust element 50a to the wave absorbing elements 30a, 32a. The coupling unit 148a has four steel supports 150a, 152a, 154a, 156a and a vertical thrust element fixing system 158a. The steel brackets 152a, 156a are arranged along the corresponding wave absorber element 30a, 32a. The steel supports 150a, 152a, 154a, 156a are joined to the wave absorption elements 30a, 32a, the steel supports 150a, 154a being arranged transversely with respect to the wave absorption elements 30a, 32a, that is, perpendicular to steel brackets 152a, 156a. The vertical thrust element fixing system 158a joins the vertical thrust element 50a to the steel supports 150a, 152a, 154a, 156a and, therefore, to the wave absorbing elements 30a, 32a. For joining the vertical thrust element fixing system 158a to the steel supports 150a, 152a, 154a, 156a, the corners of the steel supports 150a, 152a, 154a, 156a respectively have a joint piece 160a, 162a, 164th, 166th. A distance between the steel supports 150a, 154a is about 12 m. A distance between steel brackets 152a, 156a is also 12 m.

By means of the vertical thrust element fixing system 158a the vertical thrust element 50a is fixed between the wave absorbing elements 30a, 32a. The vertical thrust element fixing system 158a has four analog configuration fasteners 168a, 170a, 172a, 174a. The fixing elements 168a, 170a, 172a, 174a have a V-shape, the arms of the V being separated. The fixing elements 168a, 170a, 172a, 174a respectively fix one side of the vertical thrust element 50a to the respective piece of union 160a, 162a, 164a, 166a.

For the flooding and the variation of the chamber 136a of the vertical thrust element 50a, and therefore for the adjustment of the vertical thrust of the vertical thrust element 50a, the platform installation has a pumping unit not shown in detail. The pumping unit transports seawater to chamber 136a or from chamber 136a back to the sea, or transports seawater between the various vertical thrust elements from side to side. The pumping unit has a pumping capacity of 360 tons per hour.

For the vertical thrust adjustment of all vertical thrust elements to support the independent payload, the platform installation comprises several pumping units not shown in detail. All vertical thrust elements of the platform installation are configured analogously to that of vertical thrust element 50a.

In figures 11 and 12 a set of four vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a is shown to support or absorb a weight or load of the energy production unit 20a formed by the wind turbine. The vertical thrust element 54a is disposed between two wave absorption elements 182a, 184a. An absorption of the weight of the energy production units formed by wind turbines occurs analogously by means of four vertical thrust elements.

The four vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a are disposed 90 degrees apart from each other along a circular line. The four vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a are disposed between two wave absorbing elements, respectively. For the arrangement of the energy production unit 20a configured as a wind turbine in the four vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a, the 20th is placed on two vertical transport thrust elements 176, 178a and transported to the position correspondent.

The energy production unit 20a has a grid support 180a. The grid support 180a has a central point. The center point of the grid support 180a corresponds to the center of the set of the four vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a. The grid support 180a has four ends that respectively form a bearing surface. Respectively one of the ends is supported with the support surface in a vertical thrust element 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a. The weight or load of the production unit of

Jan ^ a 20a configured as a wind turbine is distributed evenly among the four vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a. The four vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a support the weight of the energy production unit 20a configured as a wind turbine.

The four vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a absorb tipping moments of the energy production unit 20a configured as a wind turbine. For the adjustment of the vertical position of the energy production unit 20a in case of changed tipping moments resulting from the variation of wind loads, the pumping unit fills or fills the chambers 136a of the four vertical thrust elements 50a , 52a, 54a, 56a. The pumping unit changes the vertical thrust of the four vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a, it being possible that the vertical thrust of the four vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a differs. The weight or load of the energy production unit 20a configured as a wind turbine is distributed uniformly between four vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a. The pumping unit adjusts the vertical thrust of the various vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a depending on the tipping moments or the existing wind loads.

For a better distribution of the weight or load in the four vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a and, consequently, for the stabilization of the energy production unit 20a, the energy production unit 20a has a rod 186a which, with the energy production unit 20a mounted, is developed below the grid support 180a and the vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a. With the energy production unit 20a mounted, the rod 186a is partly below the water level 22a.

For fastening or joining the rod 186a of the energy production unit 20a to the vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a the energy production unit 20a has fasteners 188a. The fasteners 188a hold the rod 186a both above and below with respect to the vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a. The rod 186a is attached below and above the water level 22a, by means of the fasteners 188a, to the four vertical thrust elements 50a, 52a, 54a, 56a. By means of the fasteners 188a the energy production unit 20a formed by the wind turbine is mounted in the seawater with the help of winches. Therefore a floating crane can be dispensed with. In this exemplary embodiment, the energy production unit 20a has a rotor 190a with a rotor diameter of 115 m, the rod 186a with a length of 120 m and a line of 5 megawatts. The rod 186a penetrates, with the energy production unit 20a mounted, about 20 m in the seawater.

In order to obtain hydrogen by means of the energy produced by one of the energy production units 12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 20a the platform installation presents several energy transformation units 58a. The energy transformation units 58a are configured as electrolysis units. The energy transformation units 58a obtain or produce hydrogen from seawater with the help of the energy produced by the energy transformation units 12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 20a. The energy transformation units 12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 20a are arranged in the central area 36a in which the effect of the waves is essentially canceled or there is no swell.

For the accumulation of the energy produced by the energy production units 12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 20a the platform installation has several 58a energy accumulation units. In this embodiment, the hydrogen deposits constitute the energy accumulation units 58a. The energy obtained is stored in the form of hydrogen in the hydrogen deposits. In principle, wave absorption elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a, 184a can also absorb hydrogen in their hollow spaces and thus simply form an energy accumulation unit. The energy obtained is stored in this way in the form of hydrogen in the wave absorbing elements. Hydrogen is stored in the hollow spaces of the wave absorbing elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a, 184a. For this purpose, the wave absorption elements 26a, 28a, 30a, 32a, 182a, 184a are coated with a hydrogen impermeable substance and / or made of a hydrogen impermeable material.

Hydrogen can be converted back into electrical energy, so the platform installation provides a secure energy supply. Hydrogen energy production is carried out when the energy demand exceeds the energy produced in the platform installation. In principle, the reverse transformation of hydrogen can also be carried out on the coast 72a next to the transmission station, the hydrogen being transported by means of tubenas or water vehicles from the platform installation to the coast 72a.The reverse transformation of hydrogen can be carried out by means of combustion or a fuel cell.

For the fixing of the platform 10a on a sea floor 336a the platform installation has a fixing or deviation device (compare figures 13 to 15). The fixing or deviation device comprises a fixing unit 338a and four fixing units 60a, 62a, 64a, 66a. The fixing unit 338a constitutes a primary anchor. The fixing unit 338a fixes a zone 340a around the geometric center at the bottom of the sea 336a. The fixing unit 338a has four anchor points at the bottom of the sea 336a, being able to see only the anchor points 342a, 344a. The fixing unit 338a also has four fixing points on the platform 10a, of which only the fixing points 346a, 348a are visible. The fixing points 346a, 348a have a defined distance 350a between sf.

10th platform. The four fixing points 346a are connected through an attachment element 352a to the anchor point 344a. The fixation point 348a joins through an attachment element 354a to the anchor point 342a. The anchorage points that are not visible are attached to the fixation points that are not visible by means of individual elements that are not visible. The union elements 352a, 354a and the non-visible union elements intersect in the geometric center. The union elements 352a, 354a and the non-visible union elements are configured analogously. The anchor points 342a, 344a and the non-visible anchor points are configured analogously. The defined distance 350a is 600 m.

The fixing and deviation units 60a, 62a, 64a, 66a form a rotating clamp. The fixing and deviation units 60a, 62a, 64a, 66a respectively fix one of the sides of the platform 10a to the bottom of the sea.

The fixing and deviation unit 60a has two fixing points 192a, 194a on the platform 10a and an anchor point 196a at the bottom of the sea. The fixing points 192a, 194a are arranged at a defined distance 356a from the outer edge 40a of the platform 10a in the direction of the geometric center of the platform 10a on the platform 10a. The fixing points 192a, 194a are arranged in the central zone 36a. The two fixing points 192a, 194a are arranged spaced apart on the platform 10a. The anchoring point 196a and the two fixing points 192a, 194a are joined together by means of a connecting element 198a.

The fixing and deviation unit 60a also has two deviation points 200a, 202a. The deflection points 200a, 202a are arranged at a defined distance 356a from the outer edge 40a of the platform 10a in the direction of the geometric center of the platform 10a on the platform 10a. The defined distance 356a of the fixing points 192a, 194a corresponds to the defined distance 356a of the deviation points 200a, 202a. The two deviation points 200a, 202a are also arranged in the central zone 36a. The two deviation points 200a, 202a are set apart on the platform 10a. A distance between the two deviation points 200a, 202a is greater than a distance between the two fixing points 192a, 194a. A distance between the fixing point 192a and the deviation point 200a corresponds to a distance between the fixing point 194a and the deviation point 202a. The connecting element 198a joins the anchor point 196a, through the deviation points 200a, 202a, to the fixing points 192a, 194a. The connecting element 198a between the anchor point 196a and the deflection points 200a, 202a is arranged in part below the water level 22a. The anchor point 196a and the deflection points 200a, 202a or the two fixing points 192a, 194a form a triangle. The defined distance of the fixing points 192a, 194a and the defined distance of the deviation points 200a, 202a are in this example of embodiment of about 500 m.

The three fixing and deviation units 62a, 64a, 66a are configured analogously. The fixing and deviation units 62a, 64a, 66a respectively have two fixing points 204a, 206a, 208a, 210a, 212a, 214a, two deviation points 202a, 216a, 216a, 218a, 218a, 200a and respectively a point of anchor 220a, 222a, 224a. The fixing and deflection unit 62a also has a joint element 226a, the fixing and deflection unit 64a a joint element 228a and the fixing and deviation unit 66a a joint element 230a.

The deviation points 200a, 202a, 210a, 218a create a shape that corresponds to a smaller form of the platform 10a. The shape created by the deflection points 200a, 202a, 210a, 218a is larger than the shape created by the fixing points 346a, 348a with the non-visible fixing points of the fixing unit 338a. The deviation points 200a, 202a, 210a, 218a create a square shape.

The joining elements 198a, 226a, 228a, 230a, 352a, 354a are respectively configured as an anchoring point. The joining elements 198a, 226a, 228a, 230a, 352a, 354a are respectively configured as an anchoring point, regardless of the depth of the sea. The joining elements 198a, 226a, 228a, 230a, 352a, 354a are joined respectively by means of an anchor at respective anchor point 196a, 220a, 222a, 224a, 342a, 344a at the bottom of the sea. The joining elements 198a, 226a, 228a, 230a, 352a, 354a are made of braided plastic fibers resistant to boiling. The joining elements 198a, 226a, 228a, 230a, 352a, 354a have a diameter of approx. 30 cm

A transmission of force to the joint elements 198a, 226a, 228a, 230a, 352a, 354a occurs through concrete terminals. The anchor points 196a, 220a, 222a, 224a, 342a, 344a respectively consist of a concrete terminal. The anchoring of the platform 10a is therefore produced through concrete terminals.

The anchor points 342a, 344a and the non-visible anchor points of the fixing unit 338a respectively consist of a concrete terminal according to the concrete terminal 358a (compare figure 16). The concrete terminal 358a has a waterproof reinforced concrete 360a that surrounds one end 362a of the joint element 354a. The end 362a of the connecting element 354a bends or widens. The concrete terminal 358a also has a tubular element 364a. The tubular element 364a surrounds a part of the union element 354a. The tubular element 364a is partially surrounded by waterproof reinforced concrete 360a. The tubular element 364a consists of a polyurethane tube.

The anchor points 196a, 220a, 222a, 224a of the fixing and deviation units 60a, 62a, 64a, 66a are configured respectively by means of a concrete terminal according to the concrete terminal 366a (compare figure 17). The concrete terminal 366a has a waterproof reinforced concrete 368a that surrounds a part 370a of the joint element 230a. The part 370a of the connecting element 230a widens. The concrete terminal 366a has two tubular elements 372a, 374a arranged on two sides of the concrete terminal 366a. The wrapping of the part 370a of the connecting element 230a by means of the waterproof reinforced concrete 368a is produced by high pressure filling. A sizing of the concrete terminal 366a is governed by a transmission of expected force of the connecting element 230a. The concrete terminal 366a has a length of approx. 5 m and a width of approx. 2.50 m.

Alternatively, the anchor points 196a, 220a, 222a, 224a of the fixing and deviation units 60a, 62a, 64a, 66a can be configured respectively by means of a concrete terminal according to the concrete terminal 366a '. The concrete terminal 366a 'has a waterproof reinforced concrete 368a' that surrounds two ends of two joining elements 230a ', 230a' '. The two joining elements 230a ', 230a' 'form the joining element 230a. The two ends of the two joining elements 230a ', 23a' 'widen. The concrete terminal 366a 'has two tubular elements 372a', 374a '. The wrapping of the two ends of the connecting elements 230a ', 230a' 'by means of the waterproof reinforced concrete 368a' is produced by high pressure filling. With a configuration of these characteristics, shorter union elements can be used. Tubular elements 364a, 372a, 374a, 372a ', 374a' respectively have a diameter of approx. 30 cm

In this exemplary embodiment, the transmission of expected force of the connecting elements 198a, 226a, 228a, 230a, 352a, 354a and of the non-visible joining elements of the fixing unit 338a is several hundred tons.

For the realization of an approximately constant fastening of the connecting elements 198a, 226a, 228a, 230a, 352a, 354a the fixing unit 338a and the fixing and deviation units 60a, 62a, 64a, 66a respectively have anchor weights. The anchor weights are fixed through the corresponding fixing points 192a, 194a, 204a, 206a, 208a, 210a, 212a, 214a, 346a, 348a. The anchor weights respectively increase a weight or a fastener of the corresponding joint element 198a, 226a, 228a, 230a, 352a, 354a. The anchor weights are configured as concrete terminals. The anchor weights are configured analogously to that of the concrete terminal 366a or to the concrete termination 366a 'according to Figure 17. A dimensioning of the anchor weight is governed by an intended increase in the subject or weight of the respective Union element 198a, 226a, 228a, 230a, 352a, 354a.

To rotate the platform 10a around a rotation rod, the fixing and deflection units 60a, 62a, 64a, 66a respectively have an actuation element 232a, 238a, 240a, 242a. The four fixing and deviation units 60a, 62a, 64a, 66a rotate the platform 10a by 90 degrees. They adapt the platform 10a to a position of the sun. The turning rod 22a is oriented perpendicular to the water level 22a and passes through the geometric center of the platform 10a.

The actuation element 232a of the fixing and deflection unit 60a is disposed in the center between the two fixing points 192a, 194a and, therefore, between the two deflection points 200a, 202a. The drive element 232a pulls the joint element 198a in one direction 234a or in another direction 236a. By pulling the connecting element 198a in the direction 234a, the actuating element 232a shortens a distance between the deflection point 202a and the anchor point 196a, thereby extending the distance between the deflection point 200a and the anchor point 196a. By pulling the connecting element 198a in the direction 236a, the actuating element 232a shortens a distance between the deflection point 200a and the anchor point 196a, thereby extending the distance between the deflection point 202a and the anchor point 196a. Drive element 232a is configured as an anchor winch.

The drive elements 238a, 240a, 242a of the corresponding fixing and deviation unit 62a, 64a, 66a are configured analogously to that of the drive element 232a and are arranged in the manner described above. By means of the corresponding drive element 238a, 240a, 242a the corresponding joint element 226a, 228a, 230a is pulled from the respective fixing and deviation unit 62a, 64a, 66a. as described before.

To rotate the platform 10a by 45 degrees in a direction 244a, that is, clockwise, the drive elements 232a, 238a, 240a, 242a pull synchronously in the direction 234a. To rotate the platform 45 degrees in a direction 246a, that is, counterclockwise, the drive elements 232a, 238a, 240a, 242a pull synchronously in the direction 236a.

In a twelve-hour position of the platform 10a the anchor points 196a, 220a, 222a, 224a and the two corresponding deviation points 200a, 202a, 216a, 218a respectively form an isosceles triangle (compare figure 14). The distance between the anchor point 196a and the deviation point 200a, the distance between the anchor point 196a and the deviation point 202a and the distance between the deviation points 200a, 202a of the fixing and deviation unit 60a is in this example of realization respectively of 2400 meters. After a rotation of the platform 10a in 45 degrees, starting from the twelve-hour position in the direction 246a, the platform 10a is in a nine-hour position (compare 12). In the nine-hour position the distance between the anchor point 196a and the deflection point 200a of the fixing and deflection unit 60a is about 3600

meters and the distance between the anchor point 196a and the deflection point 202a of about 1600 meters. The distance between the deviation points 200a, 202a does not vary with 2400 meters.

After a rotation of the platform 10a in 45 degrees, starting from the twelve-hour position in the direction 244a, the platform 10a is in a fifteen-hour position. In the fifteen-hour position the distance between the anchor point 196a and the deviation point 200a of the fixing and deviation unit 60a is about 1600 meters and the distance between the anchor point 196a and the deviation point 202a of about 3600 meters. The distance between the deviation points 200a, 202a does not vary with 2400 meters. The distances of the anchor points 196a with respect to the deviation points 200a, 202 and the distances of the two deviation points 200a, 202a of the fixing and deviation unit 60a are analogous to the distances of the anchor points 220a, 222a, 224a, with respect to the respective deviation points 200a, 202a, 216a, 218a of the corresponding fixing and deviation units 62a, 64a, 66a.

The rotation of the platform 10a for the orientation of the PV modules is carried out according to the position of the sun. If necessary, the platform 10a is also oriented by turning according to a direction of wave propagation so that the waves affect the wave absorbing elements at an acute angle. In this embodiment, the rotation of the platform 10a at 45 degrees it occurs in three hours. The rotation of the platform 10a occurs, therefore, at a speed of 15 degrees / h or 0.074 m / s.

As a protection against floating foreign elements that could collide with the platform 10a, the platform installation has a platform protection device. The platform protection device prevents foreign elements from floating between the wave absorbing elements of the platform 10a. The platform protection device surrounds the platform 10a or is rounded around the platform 10a.

The platform protection device has several protection elements. The protection elements have a vertical thrust system whereby the protection elements support their own weight. The protection elements are arranged, due to their vertical thrust, with approx. 80% of its volume below the 22nd water level. The protection elements around the platform 10a form the outer edge 40a of the platform 10a. The protection elements are configured in the form of very thick-walled tubes. The protection elements are made of polyethylene.

The platform protection device also has submersible elements. The submersible elements are arranged by the sea side, that is, in front of the protection elements, the submersible elements penetrating horizontally below the platform 10a in the same direction as the center of the platform 10a. The submersible elements are screwed into the steel supports of the corresponding joint units. In this embodiment, the submersible elements penetrate 12 m in the platform 10a. The submersible elements are configured in the form of trapezoidal sheet skirts.

To avoid dirt on a sea surface due to foreign elements inside the platform 10a and to provide a shelter for animals we keep, the platform installation presents several grid elements. The grid elements offer good protection, for example fry. The grid elements hang vertically from the wave absorbing elements. The grid elements have a mesh width specified by biological biologists. In this embodiment, the grid elements hang from the corresponding wave absorber element penetrating about 2 m into the sea. The grid elements are configured in the form of stainless steel grilles.

A fabrication of the platform 10a is schematically and partially depicted in Figure 18. A fabrication of all wave absorbing elements of the platform 10a occurs in a basin on the coast 72a, directly on the seashore 70a. The wave absorption elements are extruded in the bahua on the mainland. The bahua is protected against the wind. The bahua is protected in the main direction of the wind and the waves.

For the manufacture of wave absorbing elements, a wave-absorbing element 248a manufacturing facility is installed in the bay. In the wave absorber element manufacturing ship 248a the wave absorption elements are extruded or produced in parallel in four rows of a length of 20 m and are joined together by welding in an area 250a with respectively a bulkhead element. A row has six elements for absorbing welded waves. The four rows of weld wave absorption elements are stored intermediate in zone 250a. They move on roller bearings to an area 252a. In zone 252a the steel supports of the union unit, stored in a storage lot 254a, are mounted by means of a portico crane, whereby the wave absorbing elements are joined together.

The wave absorbing elements connected to each other move by means of a ramp in an area 256a. In zone 256a the PV modules assembled completely on the ground are mounted, by means of a tower rotating crane 258a, on the steel supports of the joint unit and, consequently, on the wave absorbing elements. The mounted PV modules are stored in a 260a storage lot. The wave absorption elements joined together and the fully assembled PV modules correspond to a platform module. The platform module is then pushed to the 70th sea. If vertical thrust elements are provided in the joined wave absorption elements or in the platform module, the wave absorption elements move in an area 262a. The vertical thrust elements are placed and fixed in the zone 262a by means of another tower tower crane 264a from a storage lot 266a in a previously programmed position in the elements of

absorption of waves joined together and pushed into the 70th sea. The wave absorption elements joined with the vertical thrust elements also correspond to a platform module. The wave absorption elements of zone 256a and zone 258a are located in the 70th sea.

For the manufacture of the platform 10a several of these platform modules are joined at sea 70a in the batna and joined to form the platform 10a, also providing the energy production units formed by wind turbines in the batna, by means of elements vertical transport thrust, on vertical thrust elements. The entire platform is then dragged to a destination in the 70th sea and fixed by anchors.

In an alternative and preferred manufacturing process of the platform 10a the wave absorption elements are extruded in the batt directly in the sea 70a. After the manufacture of wave absorber elements 248a, the wave absorber elements first pass through a refrigeration unit. The cooling unit cools the wave absorbing elements, thus guaranteeing a resistance and a form of the wave absorbing elements. After cooling, the wave absorbing elements are welded together by means of two bulkhead elements 270a. The absorption elements of welded waves between them then arrive, due to an extrusion movement, to the 70th sea. There is no intermediate storage on the mainland of the absorbing elements of welded waves. The manufacture of the platform modules takes place in the 70th sea, as described above, joining the wave absorbing elements to the steel supports also in the 70th sea.

The platform supports a first type of energy production unit 14b, 16b and a second type of energy production unit, partly on a water level 22b.

The wave absorption element 28b and the remaining wave absorption elements of the platform reduce an effect of the waves within the central zone and the outer edge area of the platform to a defined value. The wave absorbing element 28b is nested. To support a first payload the wave absorber element 28b and the remaining wave absorber elements of the platform are respectively configured as a vertical thrust element.
