According to some embodiments, a winch tightening apparatus comprises a mounting plate; a first moment arm coupled to the mounting plate and configured to provide leverage for rotating the mounting plate; and a pawl comprising a first end and a second end. The first end is pivotally coupled to the mounting plate such that the second end pivots to engage a ratchet gear when the mounting plate is rotated in a first direction and pivots to disengage the ratchet gear when the mounting plate is rotated in a second direction opposite the first direction. Some embodiments include a second moment arm coupled to the mounting plate and configured to provide leverage for rotating the mounting plate. Some embodiments include a counterweight coupled to the mounting plate and positioned to rotate the mounting plate in the second direction.

According to some embodiments, a floating cold thermal energy storage vessel comprises an ice battery. The ice battery comprises a storage tank configured to store thermal energy in the form of ice and chilled liquid, and a chiller coupled to a refrigerant loop. The refrigerant loop is coupled to the storage tank and operable to transfer thermal energy between the chiller and storage tank to form ice. The ice battery further comprises a heat exchanger coupled to the refrigerant loop, a liquid inlet, and a liquid outlet. The heat exchanger is configured to cool heated liquid received from the liquid inlet and supply cooled liquid to the liquid outlet using the thermal energy stored in the storage tank via the refrigerant loop. According to some embodiments, a regasification and cold thermal energy storage system comprises an ice battery and a liquefied gas regasification system.

Abrégé

According to some embodiments, a flexible regasification system comprises a floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage vessel; a LNG vaporizer disposed on a jetty proximate the LNG storage vessel to vaporize the LNG into natural gas; and a thermal fluid source. The LNG storage vessel is coupled to the LNG vaporizer and supplies LNG to the LNG vaporizer. The thermal fluid source is coupled to the LNG vaporizer and sends heated thermal fluid to the LNG vaporizer for converting the LNG to natural gas, which converts the heated thermal fluid to a cooled thermal fluid. The cooled thermal fluid is discharged back to the thermal fluid source, comprising a closed loop. In particular embodiments, the thermal fluid storage comprises a floating vessel disposed near the jetty. In some embodiments, the cooled thermal fluid from the LNG vaporizer is first sent to a power plant or refrigeration plant.
