OFF-SHORE DRILLING PLATFORM Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC E02B17/00 B63B35/44 F03D1/00 F03B13/10 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: offshore drilling platform includes supports for fastening to the ground and platform foundation. Diesel-generator is installed on the platform foundation. The diesel-generator supplies power to drilling equipment and personnel quarters. There is a control unit between power consumers and generator. No less than one additional generator with the drive operating on the natural power sources is connected to the control unit. At least one additional generator may be designed to have aerodynamic drive exploiting wind power and installed on the upper part of the support. At least, one additional generator may be designed to have hydrodynamic drive operating from wave power and installed on the support under water. Aerodynamic drive or hydrodynamic drive may be implemented as two co-axial airscrews connected with the additional generator through the facility of two shafts rotation movement transformation to the rotation movement of one shaft, e.g. differential orbital increase gear.

EFFECT: electrical power supply to consumer.
