2023 February 4th Week KYOCM News Recommendation - Roller bearings function as a mooring-system for the self-alignment of floating wind turbines

4.jpg

Ming Yang is moving forward with the development of the Nezzy² platform. This is a 16.6 MW twin floating offshore wind platform, consisting of two 8.3 MW wind turbines. Their V-shaped downwind rotors have a diameter of 180 metres each.

 

The rotors are mounted on a floating, self-aligning structure, that consists of an anchor buoy, a mooring bearing, and a steel structure as a floating foundation. The structures are anchored to the seabed by steel cables. An underwater cable transmits the generated electricity to the coast.

 

To ensure the self-alignment of these turbines, the Liebherr slewing bearings function as a mooring system. For this purpose, a bearing with a diameter of four metres is installed as a connecting element between the anchor buoy and the float below the sea surface. Because the slewing bearing has to withstand high pressure and corrosive environmental conditions, some components are made of stainless steel or welded on with stainless steel. In addition, the bearing has two sensors that can detect the event of water ingress at two measuring points. One is located in the first lower chamber, and the second is located in the second upper chamber of the floating turbine. In case of maintenance or repair, the float with the turbines can be separated from the anchor buoy and towed to a harbour.

Slewing Bearing :

Rotary bearings consist of an inner ring and an outer ring, one of which usually contains a gear. Together with the connecting holes in the two rings, they enable optimized power transmission through simple and fast connections between adjacent machine parts. Bearing raceways are designed with rolling elements, cages or gaskets to accommodate loads acting individually or in combination in any direction.

Features and advantages:

High carrying capacity

High stiffness for rigid bearing applications

Low friction

Long service life

Surface protection and corrosion resistance

Integrate other features including:

Driving mechanism

Control device

Lubrication system

Monitoring system

Sealed cassette tape
