水平全方向TMD对风电塔风振控制研究

Wind-induced vibration control research of wind power tower by horizontal omnidirectional

  • 摘要: 风电机组塔筒在风荷载和叶轮转动的影响长期处于振动状态,造成螺栓松动和法兰疲劳破坏。为降低风电塔筒的风振响应,常用的措施之一是安装调谐质量阻尼器(TMD),但单向TMD无法应对塔筒不同方向的振动,安装多个阻尼器会增加塔体的荷载,提高成本同时影响塔筒内部的通行性。本文提出一种新型水平全方向TMD,旨在仅使用单个质量块降低风电塔在不同方向的风振响应。以某风力发电塔为研究对象,基于ANSYS Workbench有限元仿真平台,对风电塔模型进行风振响应分析;设计水平全方向TMD并安装在风电塔筒内,研究脉动风作用下对风电塔的减振性能。结果表明:质量比为0.02的TMD对塔筒的最大位移和最大应力表现出最优的控制效果,使塔顶的最大位移下降19.4%,位移标准差下降34.8%,塔底的最大应力下降21.3%,标准差下降33.9%。新型水平全方向TMD能够对不同风向引起的塔筒振动起到良好的控制效果,在切出风速工况下对风电塔筒位移的减振效率范围为34.8%~56.8%,应力的减振效率范围为33.9%~57.8%。

     

    Abstract: The tower of the wind turbine is in a state of vibration due to the wind loads and the rotation of the rotor, which causes bolt loosening and flange fatigue failure. One method to reduce the wind-induced vibration of the wind turbine tower is to install a Tuned Mass Damper (TMD). However, a unidirectional TMD cannot reduce vibrations in different directions, and installing multiple dampers would increase the load to the turbine tower, raise costs, and affect internal accessibility. A novel horizontal omnidirectional TMD is proposed to reduce the vibration of the turbine tower in various directions using only a single mass block. Taking a wind turbine tower as the research target, the ANSYS Workbench finite element simulation platform is adopted to analyze the wind-induced vibration of the wind turbine tower model. The horizontal omnidirectional TMD is designed and installed inside the tower, and its vibration reduction performance under fluctuating wind is investigated. The results indicate that a TMD with a mass ratio of 0.02 exhibits optimal control effects on the maximum displacement and maximum stress of the tower, resulting in a 19.4% reduction in the maximum displacement at the tower top, a 34.8% decrease in the displacement standard deviation, a 21.3% decrease in the maximum stress at the tower base, and a 33.9% reduction in the stress standard deviation. The novel horizontal omnidirectional TMD demonstrates good control performance against tower vibrations caused by winds from different directions, achieving a vibration reduction efficiency range of 34.8% to 56.8% for displacement and 33.9% to 57.8% for stress under cut-out wind speed conditions.
