A spar platform comprises one or more continuous-fiber composite tubes fabricated at or near the intended site use of the platform. In some embodiments, the spar platform includes a relatively longer central tube and relatively shorter peripheral tubes. In some other embodiments, the spar platform is a single long tube. In some embodiments, the spar platform supports a wind turbine assembly. The continuous-fiber composite tubes are formed, in either a vertical or horizontal orientation, using a modified vacuum assisted resin transfer molding process.

대표청구항 ▼

1. A method for fabricating a floating spar platform, the method comprising: providing an apparatus for forming a continuous-fiber composite tube;forming, using the apparatus, a first multi-shot continuous-fiber composite (“MSCFC”) tube exhibiting continuity of fiber, wherein at least two molding runs of the apparatus, which produce at least two workpieces, are required to form the first MSCFC tube;forming a tapered region at an end of the first MSCFC tube by:(a) disposing a tapered mandrel at the end of the first MSCFC tube;(b) rolling fabric that remains attached to the end of the first MSCFC tube onto the mandrel;(c) infusing resin into the fabric; and(d) curing the resin; andattaching mooring lines to the first MSCFC tube. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein forming the first MSCFC tube further comprises forming the first MSCFC tube vertically. 3. The method of claim 1 further comprising moving the apparatus to an intended site of use of the spar platform. 4. The method of claim 1 further comprising attaching a turbine assembly to an end of the tapered region at the end of the first MSCFC tube. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein forming the first MSCFC tube further comprises forming the first MSCFC tube horizontally. 6. The method of claim 1 further comprising forming a plurality of MSCFC tubes including the first MSCFC tube, wherein the first MSCFC tube is fabricated to be longer than other MSCFC tubes of the plurality of MSCFC tubes, and wherein the first MSCFC tube has the tapered region formed on the end thereof. 7. The method of claim 6 further comprising: arranging the plurality of MSCFC tubes so that the first MSCFC tube is surrounded by the other MSCFC tubes; andbundling the plurality of MSCFC tubes together. 8. The method of claim 7 further comprising attaching a turbine assembly to an end of the tapered region of the first MSCFC tube. 9. The method of claim 6 wherein the plurality of MSCFC tubes comprises 5 to 7 MSCFC tubes. 10. An apparatus comprising: a spar platform, wherein the spar platform comprises a continuous and unitary first multi-shot continuous-fiber composite (“MSCFC”) tube, wherein the first MSCFC tube has a cylindrical portion that transitions into a tapered region that extends to an end of the first MSCFC tube, wherein the tapered region exhibits continuity of fiber with the cylindrical portion such that a continuous fiber material extends along an entire length of the first MSCFC tube;a turbine assembly coupled to the first MSCFC tube, wherein, when the spar platform is floating in a body of water, the turbine assembly is above a waterline of the body of water; andmooring lines coupled to the spar platform. 11. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein the spar platform further comprises a bundle of tubes including the first MSCFC tube, the first MSCFC tube being centrally disposed in the bundle of tubes, and peripheral tubes of the bundle of tubes surrounding the first MSCFC tube, wherein the first MSCFC tube is longer than the peripheral tubes. 12. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the mooring lines are coupled to at least some of the peripheral tubes. 13. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the peripheral tubes are MSCFC tubes. 14. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the first MSCFC tube has a wall thickness that is thicker than a wall thickness of the peripheral tubes. 15. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein in use, most of a length of the peripheral tubes is beneath the waterline. 16. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein in use, most of a length of the first MSCFC tube is above the waterline.
