Abstract
A semisubmersible offshore support structure for a wind turbine carries an adjustable-ballast reservoir above sea level fillable with water for providing extra load on a part of the support structure. By adjusting the water volume in the adjustable-ballast reservoirs, the wind turbine can be maintained in vertical orientation despite wind pressure. A drain is provided for draining water from the reservoir into the sea by gravity only for emptying the reservoir passively in case of power failure.
