The invention belongs to the technical field of marine renewable energy utilization, and particularly relates to a multi-energy power generation system based on a floating platform, wherein the platform is an integrated power generation system which combines the wind energy and the oscillation water column (OWC)-type wave energy converter (WEC) device based on Tension Leg Platform (TLP) floating type platform.
With the rapid development of the world economy, the contradiction between energy supply and demand is increasingly prominent and the energy problem is increasingly serious. On the other hand, a large amount of fossil energy consumption also causes environmental deterioration, leading to global warming and frequent climate extremes. Therefore, the adjustment of energy structure is urgent and the development of renewable energy is imperative. The development and utilization of marine renewable energy has become the focus of the development of renewable energy worldwide. Also, the development and utilization of renewable energy is of strategic significance for our country to control air pollution and adjust energy structure. As the most promising marine renewable energy, wind energy and wave energy have been paid more and more attention. Due to low energy conversion efficiency, high power generation cost and low reliability, the commercial development of wave energy generation device is limited to some extent. With the development of offshore wind power technology, the industry goes from nearshore to deep water but the floating offshore wind technology is still in the early stage of development. Among the floating wind turbine demonstration projects in other countries, we have: Semisubmersible, Spar, TLP, and Barge. Due to its good motion performance, TLP has a good stability performance and a great potential. With the development of China offshore wind installation equipment and installation technology, TLP platform will have a good application perspective in offshore wind industry.
Fully combining wind energy and wave energy power generation equipment will effectively improve the utilization efficiency of marine space resources, improve the economy of the overall power generation system, and is an effective way to promote the industrialization of wave energy power generation.
The present invention provides a multi energy power generation system based on TLP platform, and an integrated power generation system integrating wind energy and oscillating water column wave energy system is established by using TLP platform support structure in the ocean. The present invention will make full use of marine renewable resources, improve the utilization rate of TLP platform and reduce the total cost, so as to improve the economic efficiency.

The water column that generates up and down vibration in air chamber 10 causes the gas in air chamber 10 to reciprocate through the air outlet at the upper end of air chamber 10 when the water column vibrates up and down. When the gas reciprocates through the air outlet, the air turbine generator 9 is driven to generate electricity and generate electric energy. After the electric energy generated by wind turbine, and wave energy device is collected, it will be sent to the power grid through transmission system for utilization.
