CA 2733700

A method of moving a floating wind turbine (1) relative to a body of water, the floating wind turbine (1) having a buoyant body with a nacelle at the upper end thereof, comprises floating the floating wind turbine (1) in the body of water, and towing the floating wind turbine (1) whilst holding the buoyant body in an inclined position, whereby the nacelle is held clear of the water. As the wind turbine (1) is held in an inclined position, it can be towed through regions of shallower water than if it were in a vertical position.

L'invention porte sur un procédé de déplacement d'éolienne flottante (1) par rapport à un plan d'eau, l'éolienne flottante (1) ayant un corps flottant avec une nacelle à l'extrémité supérieure de celui-ci, comprenant la flottaison de l'éolienne flottante (1) dans le plan d'eau, et le remorquage de l'éolienne flottante (1) tout en maintenant l'élément flottant dans une position inclinée, ce par quoi la nacelle est maintenue hors de l'eau. Puisque l'éolienne (1) est maintenue dans une position inclinée, elle peut être remorquée à travers des régions d'eau moins profonde que si elle était dans une position verticale.
