Abstract

A floating type offshore wind power generation facility includes: a wind power generation unit which is installed to be horizontally rotatable about a vertical rotation center while being placed in an inclined state on an offshore structure or installed to be rotatable in two directions about a horizontal rotation center of the offshore structure, and converts rotational kinetic energy of blades caused by sea wind into electrical energy; and a driving unit which is connected to a lower end of the wind power generation unit in a state in which the driving unit is installed on the offshore structure, and changes a pivoting angle or a rotating angle of the wind power generation unit by generating driving power.
