Construction of wind power generators for the energy supply of offshore oil and gas fields

The article considers the possibility of building an offshore wind power plant using the example of the energy supply of the Y. Korchagin field in the northern section of the Caspian Sea. Wind is a renewable (alternative) energy source. Its main advantage is that the wind blows everywhere and constantly, and the construction of power plants is not limited to the earth. Based on the analysis of soils in the proposed construction area, the foundation structure of the wind turbine in the form of a «tripod» was selected. The equipment for transportation and installation of the foundation and technological equipment of the wind turbine was selected. Highly efficient concrete mix compositions are proposed for the final fixation of the wind turbine foundation and significant protection from ice loading. The types of wind turbines were selected, in addition to the existing energy equipment at the field, to meet the electricity needs for the operation of buildings and equipment at the Y. Korchagin field. Calculations of the wave and wind loads acting on the structure of the base of the wind turbine, typical for this construction area, have been performed. It is established that the stability of the upper part of the wind turbine structure from the effects of wave and wind loads is ensured.
