Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012069498A1] The present invention relates to a floating offshore wind-powered device comprising a float (2) of semi-submersible type and at least one wind generator (1) comprising blades (11), a rotor (12), a nacelle (13) and a tower (14), the tower being assembled with said float. The float comprises at least three columns (3), each column comprising a non-immersed part (4) and an immersed part (5), and connecting elements (6) for rigidly connecting the columns to one another. The immersed part (5) of at least one of the columns (3) comprises at least one stabilizing portion (52) of larger cross section, which defines a top surface (52a) and a bottom surface, which surfaces are connected to one another by a peripheral surface (52c).
