The present invention is a floating support structure () provided with a main floater () and a heave plate (). The heave plate () comprises a single row of orifices (), substantially parallel to the periphery of the heave plate.

Floating support structure comprising a floater and a damping plate with a row of apertures

The present invention relates to a floating support structure () provided with a main floater () and with a heave plate (). Heave plate () comprises a section varying with depth. Furthermore, heave plate () has a minimum horizontal section Sdgreater than horizontal section Sc of main floater ().

Floating support structure comprising a floater and a heave plate with section varying with depth

The present invention relates to an offshore wind turbine on a floating support structure () comprising in combination: a main floater () comprising a part of substantially cylindrical shape, a concrete circular element () having a diameter greater than the diameter of the main floater, providing a stationary mass at the base of the floater and a damper, supplementary permanent ballast () arranged at the base of the main floater, dynamic ballast boxes () included in the main floater and distributed ringwise on the periphery of the floater.

Floating offshore wind turbine comprising a combination of damping means

The present invention relates to a floating mounting () which includes ballasting means () in order to vary the draught of the floating mounting. The floating mounting () according to the invention has a depth-variable horizontal cross-section, such that the second moment of area of the cross-section of the floating mounting, at the buoyancy surface (Sd), is higher when the floating mounting is deballasted, compared with the second moment of area of the buoyancy surface of the floating mounting, at the buoyancy surface (Sb), when the floating mounting is ballasted.
