面向浮式风机风浪耦合混合试验的漂浮基础子结构模型

FLOATING FOUNDATION SUBSTRUCTURE MODELING FOR WIND-WAVE COUPLED HYBRID TESTS OF FLOAING WIND TURBINES

  • 摘要: 浮式风机的漂浮基础(漂浮平台与锚泊系统)的数值建模主要参考海洋钻井平台,计算理论更关注结构的安全性,对成本要求较低;模拟结果对于成本要求高的浮式风机而言精度较低。面对浮式风机混合试验,将漂浮基础作为试验子结构开展物理试验更为合理。并且浮式风机漂浮基础的模拟还需要考虑上部风机气动效应的影响,考虑风机结构气动与水动效应的耦合。因此,针对浮式风机的复杂风浪耦合工况,建立能够考虑上部结构影响的漂浮基础的高精度数值模型用于支撑混合试验的开展十分必要。目前能够考虑二者耦合的数值模拟软件主要以OpenFast为主,但对不同海况下结构响应模拟的水动力参数依赖于其它分析软件。AQWA水动模型分析精度较高,其主要问题是无法考虑浮式风机气动效应耦合影响。为此,该文基于AQWA构建自由边界漂浮基础的数值模型,通过子结构边界构建考虑气动效应的影响,建立漂浮基础具有全边界的高精度数值分析模型。

     

    Abstract: The numerical modeling of the floating foundation (floating platform and mooring system) of floating wind turbines mainly refers to the offshore drilling platform. Its calculation theory focuses more on the safety of the structure and has lower requirements on cost. Its simulation results are less accurate for floating wind turbines with high cost requirements. Moreover, the simulation of floating wind turbines needs to consider the influence of the wind effect and the coupling of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic. It is very necessary to establish a high-precision numerical model of the floating foundation that can consider the influence of the superstructure for hybrid tests of wind turbines under wind-wave coupling conditions. At present, the numerical simulation software that can consider the coupling of aero- and hydro-dynamic effects is mainly based on OpenFast. However, its hydrodynamic parameters for simulating the structural motions depend on analysis by other software. AQWA, a software that can consider many details, provides more accuracy results, however, it cannot take the wind effect into account. Therefore, the paper builds a fine model of a wind turbine and then considers the aerodynamic effects by adding the full boundary conditions at the interaction face between the superstructure and the floating foundation.
