Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the support structure of an offshore structure, in particular a wind turbine according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Previous offshore wind turbines can be divided into two construction areas.
  • the first part is the highly fatigued load-bearing structure. This begins at the seabed and reaches its end at the flange connection to the tower of the wind turbine.
  • the flange connection carries the tower and the turbine and dissipates the resulting loads and impacts.
  • the second part is the actual foundation, which e.g. is designed as a foundation element that can be anchored to the seabed or as a gravity foundation.
  • the foundation absorbs the loads caused by the supporting structure, the tower and the wind turbine, discharges them into the seabed.
  • the entire construction, consisting of foundation with foundation and supporting structure as well as tower and turbine, is called offshore wind energy plant (OWEA).
  • lattice mast constructions are known from the prior art as support structures (EP 2 067 913 A2 or DE 20 2011 101 599 U1 ), which are formed as three-dimensional frameworks.
  • lattice structure When in the EP 2 067 913 A2 described lattice structure consists of the lattice structure of several truss frames, which in turn consist of vertical or slightly inclined support struts in the edge or corner areas and preferably diagonal struts to stiffen. Since the individual supporting stiffening struts of the truss frame collide at one point, separately manufactured knot parts are provided, with which the branching in different directions of the truss struts can be interconnected. In this case, the entire assembled from individual parts construction is designed for each specific case.
  • a disadvantage of these known lattice mast constructions is on the one hand the complex design, in which the struts of the individual truss frames must be connected to each other by means of separately manufactured knot parts.
  • a further disadvantage is the complex adaptation of the construction to different static requirements, i. each individual productions are necessary, which require high planning, manufacturing and assembly costs and thus are not optimally designed from an economic point of view.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a support structure of an offshore structure, in particular a wind turbine, which is easily and inexpensively adaptable to different static requirements and significantly reduces the planning, production and assembly costs.
  • the teaching of the invention comprises a support structure of an offshore structure, in particular a wind turbine, consisting of at least one base module with a predetermined static load capacity, wherein the base module consists of at least two modular-like sub-modules with a predetermined static load capacity and the sub-modules of support plates with supporting struts arranged therebetween and between the support struts arranged stiffening struts are composed and wherein the stiffening struts are arranged with the support struts outside the connection points of the support struts with the support plates and thus node-free.
  • the support structure consists of at least two modularly stacked and / or juxtaposed and interconnected basic modules with a predetermined static load capacity in order to realize so various forms of foundation structures can.
  • the invention is advantageously suitable for offshore wind turbines, it is not limited thereto. Also conceivable is an advantageous use, e.g. as a support structure for drilling platforms.
  • the invention involves a cost effective and time saving design which is flexible to different static requirements reacts and can be dispensed with separately prepared node parts.
  • the main benefit lies in the fact that can be significantly reduced by the modular assembly of the support structure of statically predetermined submodules to a statically predetermined basic module and the juxtaposition of the individual basic modules ultimately to a support structure of the planning and production costs.
  • the individual basic modules are stacked one on the other up to the required height, or e.g. for drilling platforms juxtaposed and connected to each other.
  • the sub-modules can be easily prefabricated according to the static requirements as a standard module and factory assembled into a basic module, the manufacturing cost and installation time is significantly reduced on the site, which significantly reduces the overall cost of manufacturing and assembly of the support structure.
  • stiffening struts of the individual submodules of the support structure are arranged knot-free outside the joints of the support struts with the support plates, so no branches are required at the joints for static reasons, can be dispensed with node parts, which significantly reduces manufacturing costs.
  • the support structure according to the invention is therefore much easier to implement faster and cheaper.
  • the floor plan of the basic modules can be flexibly adapted to the respective requirements.
  • hexagonal, octagonal or polygonal base areas can also be realized.
  • the sub-modules in plan view are also arbitrarily designed, which are advantageously triangular, rectangular or square, so that they can be assembled as required to differently designed base surfaces of the basic module. It is thus possible, for example, to create a hexagonal, octagonal or polygon as a floor plan for the basic module of the supporting structure from a plurality of substructures that are triangular in plan view, so that a diverse geometrical layout of the supporting structure that can be adapted to the requirements is made possible.
  • the support plates of the sub-modules e.g. can be made of heavy plate steel
  • the supporting and reinforcing struts are preferably made of seamless or welded steel tubes whose geometry (diameter, wall thickness) and material are adapted to the different static requirements.
  • the individual support struts are not formed from one, the static requirements correspondingly dimensioned single tube, but from a bamboo-like composite tube bundle.
  • the individual tubes of the tube bundle are arranged like a bamboo, e.g. with a central tube with arranged over the circumference of other tubes.
  • annular structures conceivable in which pipes are fixedly arranged and connected to one another on a circular ring or on a plurality of concentric circles.
  • all components of the supporting structure may advantageously be provided with a coating and / or with cathodic corrosion protection (KKS).
  • KKS cathodic corrosion protection
  • the basic modules are made from already prefabricated sub-modules, which significantly reduces the construction time and thus the production costs.
  • the support plates are cut according to the floor plan of the basic modules or the support structure to be produced for the individual sub-modules and then arranged the supporting and reinforcing struts between the support plates and welded.
  • the prefabricated sub-modules are then assembled according to the required floor plan of the basic module.
  • a basic module already have the required floor plan of the entire support structure or the floor plan of the support structure is generated by joining together several basic modules in a plane.
  • sleeve-like receptacles by means of which the support struts are quasi connected with positive guidance with the support plates.
  • These sleeve-like receptacles may be, for example, with the support plates welded pipe sections which have a slightly larger diameter than the support struts to be introduced therein.
  • the support struts then the stiffening struts are arranged in such a way that they are outside the joints of support struts and support plates of the stacked basic modules , so that can be dispensed on node parts.
  • the stiffening struts are advantageously oriented diagonally in the vertical direction and connect each two support struts of a sub-module.
  • the required total height of the supporting structure is achieved by a stacking of the individual basic modules, wherein the support plates of the assembled from the submodules basic module, which is placed on the respective lower, act as intermediate plates.
  • these intermediate plates advantageously on both the top and on the bottom sleeve-like receptacles for the respectively above and below the support plates to be connected support struts.
  • the basic modules to be stacked on each have a decreasing base area.
  • the support struts of the sub-modules are not arranged one above the other, but offset in the plane, as this advantageously contributes to increasing the rigidity of the overall construction.
  • connection points of the support struts with the support plate with the sleeve-like receptacles can be additionally protected separately.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a sub-module according to the invention of a support structure in triangular shape.
  • the sub-module 1 according to the invention consists of support plates 4, 4 ', between which support struts 2 and stiffening struts 3 are arranged.
  • the stiffening struts 3 with the support struts 2 are knot-free outside the connection points of the support struts 2 with the support plates 4, 4 '.
  • FIG. 2 shows, as an example, a schematic representation of a rectangular base module 5 composed of triangular submodules 1, which is joined together with another basic module 5 to form a supporting structure which can be used, for example, for a drilling platform.
  • FIG. 3 shows as a further application example, the top view of a 3-tier support structure of stacked basic modules 5 ', 5 ", 5'” of a wind turbine, consisting of circular and arranged to basic modules 5 ', 5 “, 5"' triangular sub-modules 1.
  • the essentially circular basic modules 5 ', 5 “, 5'” are stacked in tiers, wherein the base areas of each stacked basic modules 5 ', 5 ", 5"' are smaller, so that there is a pyramidal shape, as shown in the 3-D View in FIG. 4 can be seen.
  • the lowermost base module 5 'at the top and bottom each have the same size support plates 4, 4', wherein the upper support plates 4 of the base module 5 'as the lower support plates
  • the support struts 2 are then arranged in a circle in such a way that a smaller base area of the basic module 5" placed on the basic module 5 'results on the tra plates 4 of the basic module 5'.
  • the support plates 4 "arranged on the support struts 2 of the basic module 5" then again form the lower support plates of the basic module 5 "'provided with an even smaller base area.
  • the support struts 2 of the sub-modules 1 are not arranged one above the other in alignment, but are offset in the plane at an angle, which advantageously contributes to increasing the rigidity of the overall construction.
  • the FIG. 4 can be seen that the support struts 2 in sleeve-like receptacles 6, which are arranged on or below the support plates, positioned and thus firmly connected.
