FOUNDATION CONFIGURATION AND MULTI-BODY DYNAMICS MODELING OF THE WIND TURBINE AND FOUNDATION SYSTEM

  • 摘要: 风力发电的大型化进程正从陆地转向近海、深远海发展,并伴随着风机基础构型由陆上浅基础、海上固定式基础,向海上漂浮式基础演化。该文基于Kane动力学理论系统地推导了陆上浅基础风机、海上单桩、导管架基础风机和漂浮式半潜、单立柱、张力腿基础风机的刚-柔耦合动力学方程,并提出了基于风电基础构型SR模型(sway-rocking model)的风机动力学方程统一表达形式。基于以上方程,该文开发了风机一体化设计分析软件Zwind,其采用龙格库塔及亚当斯预测-校正法实时更新、传递基础运动和基础受力,以实现风机子系统和基础子系统的耦合求解。与商业软件Bladed相比,Zwind软件在功率、模态、稳态和动态响应方面精度相当。该文采用NREL 5MW风机探究了基础构型(浅基础、导管架基础、单桩基础、半潜基础、单立柱基础及张力腿基础)对塔底弯矩、传动轴扭矩和叶根弯矩的影响。结果表明:基础构型对塔底弯矩影响显著,而对传动轴扭矩和叶根弯矩影响减弱;基础构型的转动阻抗由强到弱依次为浅基础、张力腿基础、单桩基础、导管架基础、半潜基础和单立柱基础;当外部荷载一致时,基础构型的转动阻抗越小,塔底弯矩越大。

     

    Abstract: The fast exploit of wind energy has necessitated wind turbines to shift from onshore to nearshore and far-shore development, accompanied by the evolution of wind turbine foundation from early onshore foundations to recent fixed offshore foundations and future anticipated floating offshore foundations. This study aims to systematically derive the rigid-flexible coupling dynamic equations of onshore wind turbine, offshore wind turbine, and floating wind turbine based on Kane's dynamic theory, then to propose a unified expression of dynamics equations of wind turbines resting on various foundation configurations based on the sway-rocking model (SR model). Via the above dynamic equations, a wind turbine integrated analysis and design software Zwind is developed, which updates and transfers foundation motions and forces through the Runge-Kutta and Adams prediction-correction algorithm in real-time, to achieve the coupling of turbine and foundation subsystems. Zwind software shows comparable accuracy to commercial software Bladed, in terms of power production, modal properties, steady-state and dynamic responses. Influences of foundation configuration are demonstrated by the tower base moment, main shaft torque and blade root moment through a NREL 5MW wind turbine resting on footing, monopile, jacket, semi-submersible, spar and tension leg platform, respectively. The results show that the foundation configuration significantly affects the tower base moment, with reduced impact on the main shaft torque and blade root moment.The rotational impedance of foundation configuration, ranked from strong to weak, is as follows: footing, tension leg platform, monopile, jacket, semi-submersible and spar.With consistent external loads, a smaller rotational impedance of foundation configuration would result in a greater tower base moment.
