Disclosed herein is a turret mooring system for a tidal turbine assembly 150, which increases the ratio of the torque exerted by the turret 100 relative to frictional forces between the turret 100 and the assembly 150 moored to the turret 100. In some examples, the frictional forces are reduced by the turret providing an upward force to the assembly, which also resists pitching moments. In other examples, the torque exerted by the turret 100 is increased by the use of a bifurcated mooring line 106, 108 which couples to two spaced apart attachment points 128 on a chain table 104 of the turret 100 and to a single point 114 on the water bed.
Deployable system of one or more sensors (116) for incorporation on a marine installation (100). The sensor system comprises a sensor mount (114) securable to the marine installation (100) and a sensor (116) mounted on the sensor mount (114). The sensor mount (114) has a raised configuration and a deployed configuration, such that the sensor (116) is arranged to be held rigidly in place below a hull (102) of the marine installation when the sensor mount (114) is in the deployed configuration.

Disclosed herein is a turret mooring system for a tidal turbine assembly 150, which increases the ratio of the torque exerted by the turret 100 relative to frictional forces between the turret 100 and the assembly 150 moored to the turret 100. In some examples, the frictional forces are reduced by the turret providing an upward force to the assembly, which also resists pitching moments. In other examples, the torque exerted by the turret 100 is increased by the use of a bifurcated mooring line 106, 108 which couples to two spaced apart attachment points 128 on a chain table 104 of the turret 100 and to a single point 114 on the water bed.

The invention relates to an elongate fixation device (1) for use in subsea anchoring, and a method for installation. The device (1) has a triple nested stem arrangement, the innermost stem (2) of which has a cutter (9) disposed at a distal end and a tapered section (8) located adjacent to and proximally behind the cutter (9). An intermediate stem (3) surrounds at least a central portion of the inner stem (2) and has one or more flareable cutting fingers (7) at its distal end. An outer stem (4) surrounds a proximal portion of the intermediate stem (3). The inner (2) and intermediate (3) stems are coupled by a first releasable coupling (17) which when released allows relative axial motion along a first distance. The outer and intermediate stems are coupled by a second releasable coupling (18) which when released allows relative axial motion along a second distance. The intermediate stem 3 is nested within the outer stem (4), in some cases for at least a majority of the outer stem (4). In some examples, the outer stem (4) has a rotationally driveable portion 10 and the inner stem 2 has a tensioning nut (12) for adjusting the relative axial positions of the inner (2) and outer 4 stems. The tensioning nut (12) and the driveable portion (10) are coupleable to a single rotational drive (23). The invention also relates a method for installation and to installation apparatus (21).
A turbine system has an apparatus for raising a turbine relative to a support. The motion of the turbine as it is raised takes the form of an arc. The turbine support is a three-hulled variant in some cases. Also described is a turret mooring system for anchoring the turbine system in place at sea. The turret is attachable to the turbine assembly while the assembly is on land. The turbine assembly can then be towed to the anchoring site where the anchoring lines are attached to the turret. This simplifies the anchoring process, particularly in rough seas where attaching the turret to the assembly may be difficult or impossible. An alternate anchoring system comprising an upstream buoy anchored to an upstream anchoring point and a downstream buoy anchored to a downstream anchoring point is also described. This buoyant mooring system reduces the vertical component of the tension in the anchoring cables, and reduces the effect of pitching forces generated by the turbines.
