风力机叶片双增强惯容调谐质量阻尼器摆振响应抑制机理与减振方法研究

RESEARCH ON THE MECHANISM AND CONTROL METHOD for EDGE-WISE VIBRATION USING A DUAL- ENHANCED INERTIAL TUNED MASS DAMPER FOR WIND TURBINE BLADE

  • 摘要: 当前风电机组大型化与叶片长柔化特征与日俱增,致使风力机叶片的低频长周期特征愈发显著,其一阶摆振弯曲模态易受外界激励诱发大幅振动,严重影响叶片结构安全。调谐质量阻尼器(TMD)在叶片摆振响应抑制方面极具潜力,但TMD将明显改变叶片自重,且在叶片狭窄内部空间内难以有效减振。为实现TMD对叶片摆振响应的轻量化、高效控制,本文将杠杆放大机制与三并联式惯容子系统融入TMD动力吸振装置,提出一种双增强惯容调谐质量阻尼器(DETMDI)。基于拉格朗日方程,建立了风力机叶片DETMDI的受控动力学模型,并利用定点理论推导了DETMDI的最优频率比与阻尼比的解析表达式。以NREL 5-MW风力机叶片为工程背景,数值分析结果表明:在附加质量比为5%、杠杆放大比为2的轻量化配置下,DETMDI可使叶尖摆振位移峰值降低超过30%,控制效果优于传统TMD与TMDI装置;当附加质量减少50%时,DETMDI的动力放大系数仅上升约15%,表明其对附加质量变化具有较低敏感性;同时,DETMDI能够有效限制阻尼器运动行程,使其保持在叶片内部可利用空间范围内。研究结果表明,DETMDI可在有限的附加物理质量条件下提升叶片摆振响应控制效果,为大型风力机叶片轻量化被动减振提供新的技术方案。

     

    Abstract: The increasing trend toward larger-scale wind turbines and longer, more flexible blades have made the low-frequency and long-period characteristics of wind turbine blades increasingly pronounced. Consequently, the first-order edgewise bending mode of the blade is prone to large-amplitude vibrations induced by external excitations, which may seriously compromise blade structural safety. Tuned mass damper (TMD) show a considerable potential for suppressing blade edgewise vibration responses; however, conventional TMD may substantially increase the blade self-weight and are difficult to implement effectively within the confined internal space of wind turbine blades. To achieve lightweight and efficient control of blade edgewise vibrations using TMD-based absorbers, this study integrates a lever amplification mechanism and a three-parallel inertial subsystem into a TMD, thereby proposing a dual-enhanced tuned mass damper-inertial (DETMDI). Based on Lagrange’s equations, a controlled dynamic model of a wind turbine blade equipped with the DETMDI is established, and closed-form expressions for the optimal frequency ratio and damping ratio of the DETMDI are derived using fixed-point theory. Numerical analyses are conducted using the NREL 5 MW wind turbine blade as a case study. The research results show that: under a representative lightweight configuration with an additional mass ratio of 5% and a lever amplification ratio of 2, the DETMDI reduces the peak blade-tip edgewise displacement by more than 30%, outperforming conventional TMD and TMDI systems. When the additional mass is reduced by 50%, the dynamic amplification factor of the DETMDI increases by only approximately 15%, indicating low sensitivity to variations in the additional mass. Meanwhile, the DETMDI effectively limits the damper stroke, keeping it within the allowable installation space inside the blade. The results demonstrate that the DETMDI can enhance the control performance for blade edgewise vibration responses under a limited additional physical mass, providing a new technical solution for the lightweight passive vibration mitigation of large-scale wind turbine blades.
