[0003] Against the backdrop of global energy transformation and sustainable development, the demand for clean energy is becoming increasingly urgent. Offshore wind power, with its abundant wind energy resources and minimal impact on the ecological environment, is gradually becoming a core development direction in the energy sector. With the vigorous development of the offshore wind power industry, the requirements for wind power foundations are becoming increasingly stringent.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0029] It should be noted that the terms used herein are for describing particular embodiments only and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention.

[0030] In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof may be combined with each other.

[0031] Example 1 This embodiment discloses an adjustable floating wind power foundation based on reinforcement learning; like Figure 1 As shown, an adjustable floating wind power foundation based on reinforcement learning includes: Wind turbine 1, the bottom of the wind turbine 1 is fixed to the tower 2; the bottom of the tower 2 is fixedly connected to the floating base; Figure 2 The tower 2 is composed of a tower outer steel plate 14, a tower concrete interlayer 15 and a tower inner steel plate 16 from the outside to the inside.

[0032] The floating base includes a first pontoon 3-1, a second pontoon 3-2 and a third pontoon 3-3 arranged in a triangle; the traditional floating foundation is generally made of pure steel, which consumes a large amount of steel. Figure 3(a)-Figure 3(b) The pontoon 3 utilizes a composite structure of steel plates and concrete, employing a compartmentalized design. From the outside in, the pontoon consists of the outer steel plate 11, the concrete interlayer 12, and the inner steel plate 13. The outer and inner steel plates are secured by a support frame, and concrete is poured into the area enclosed by the steel plates and the support frame. This significantly reduces steel usage. The steel plates serve as the primary tensile component, while the concrete serves as the primary compressive component, bearing loads from above and below, as well as wind, wave, and current loads.

[0033] The buoy 3 is cylindrical in shape and features a compartmentalized, sealed design. This design utilizes prefabricated and spliced ​​assemblies for efficient assembly. The interior is divided into several independent silos 7, each of which is a fully sealed unit, enhancing the buoy's resistance to sinking and facilitating the installation and maintenance of internal equipment. Each sealed silo is a separate prefabricated component with a modular design. Prefabricated components are precisely joined together using pre-defined joints and secured with high-strength connectors (such as welding or bolts). Locating pins and grooves are embedded in the joints to ensure precise alignment during assembly. Sealing materials (such as rubber gaskets or epoxy resin) are used to prevent leakage. This structural design creates a tighter connection between steel and concrete, effectively improving the overall structural performance of the buoy. The steel plates and buoy 3 are tightly nested, forming a more stable integrated structure. This allows for better coordination when subjected to loads such as wind, waves, and currents, reducing structural deformation and stress concentration, and enhancing the stability and reliability of the buoy 3 in complex marine environments. The buoy 3 is also connected to an anchor chain 9 , the other end of which is connected to a suction bucket 10 , and is anchored to the seabed through the suction bucket 10 .

[0034] The bottom of the buoy 3 is also connected to the heave plate 6 via connecting ribs 5. The heave plate 6 is made of steel and features a retractable or foldable structure for easy transportation. It is connected to the buoy 6 via prefabricated connecting ribs 5. During installation, the steel connecting ribs 5 are welded or bolted to the buoy 3, ensuring a tight connection between the heave plate 6 and the buoy 3, effectively maximizing the heave plate's ability to suppress the heave motion of the buoy 3.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom of the tower 2 is fixedly connected to the first pontoon 3-1, and the first pontoon 3-1, the second pontoon 3-2 and the third pontoon 3-3 are fixedly connected via a support steel pipe 4; wherein the support steel pipe 4 includes a first support steel pipe 4-1, a second support steel pipe 4-2, a third support steel pipe 4-3 and a fourth support steel pipe 4-4; the first support steel pipe 4-1 is fixed above the side walls of any two pontoons 3; the second support steel pipe 4-2 is arranged parallel to the first support steel pipe 4-1 and fixed below the side walls of any two pontoons 3; the third support steel pipe 4-3 and the fourth support steel pipe 4-4 are fixedly connected between the first support steel pipe 4-1 and the second support steel pipe 4-2, and the third support steel pipe 4-3, the fourth support steel pipe 4-4 and the second support steel pipe 4-2 form a triangle shape. The support steel pipes can further improve the stability of the device.

[0036] Furthermore, the device is equipped with various sensors (not shown), including six-degree-of-freedom motion sensors, stress sensors, displacement sensors, wind speed sensors, and wind direction sensors. The six-degree-of-freedom motion sensors monitor roll, pitch, and heave motion. Stress sensors and displacement sensors are installed at key locations, such as the tower, buoys, and diagonal supports, to detect forces and displacements in the device, facilitating the determination of its stability. Wind speed and direction sensors are mounted on the top of the tower to ensure accurate measurement of wind speed and direction. These sensors are connected to the wind turbine's internal controller to acquire marine environmental and motion parameter data. This allows the controller to adaptively adjust tension and damping forces based on these parameters. Tower 2 is also fixedly connected to the second buoy 3-2 and the third buoy 3-3 via diagonal supports 8. The connections between diagonal supports 8, buoys 3, and tower 8 feature hydraulic or pneumatic adjustment devices. These devices, connected to the wind turbine's internal controller and controlled using a deep learning algorithm, enable real-time adjustment of forces between the diagonal supports and buoys, improving the device's stability.

[0037] Combine Figure 4(a)-Figure 4(b)A pendulum damper is also installed above the tower 2. It consists of a top suspension cross brace 17, a top suspension spring 18, a mass 19, and lateral restraint springs 20. The spring and mass 19 are combined and installed within the tower 2, taking up no additional space. The damping is adjustable, adapting to varying wind and wave conditions by adjusting the spring stiffness and mass. The low cost, simple components, and easy manufacturing and installation reduce the turbine's operating costs. Furthermore, the spring and damper are connected to a controller. The damper's mass 19 serves as a vibration inertia unit, suspended by the top suspension spring 18. Lateral restraint springs 20 are connected on either side. These lateral restraint springs 20 are made of shape memory alloy (SMA) and feature a built-in graphene heating film, creating a three-dimensionally adjustable stiffness system (with fixed vertical stiffness and dynamically adjustable lateral stiffness via SMA phase transition). Control is achieved using a deep learning reinforcement algorithm to reduce the turbine's swing amplitude.

[0038] A deep reinforcement learning control system is used to optimize pendulum damper parameters; structural stability, power generation performance, and data transmission functions are tested.

[0039] The system comprises an environmental perception module, a dynamic model module, a reinforcement learning decision module, and an execution control module. The environmental perception module collects the floating body's six-degree-of-freedom motion parameters (position, attitude angle) and ocean environmental parameters (wind speed, wave height, and wave period) in real time. The dynamic model module establishes differential equations for the floating wind turbine system based on Newtonian mechanics and calculates the impact of damper changes on system stability. The reinforcement learning decision module employs a proximal policy optimization (PPO) algorithm to train an intelligent agent to learn the optimal damper adjustment strategy by constructing a multidimensional state space encompassing the floating body's state, environmental parameters, and current tension, as well as a continuous action space for damper adjustment. The execution control module adjusts the damper device in real time based on the decision output. By designing a multi-objective reward function that balances displacement minimization, attitude stabilization, and energy consumption control, this invention achieves adaptive dynamic adjustment of floating wind turbine structural parameters in complex ocean environments.

[0040] Furthermore, in the process of adjusting the damper parameters, by defining a dynamic model of the floating wind turbine and setting parameters such as mass, spring stiffness, and damping coefficient, the displacement and speed changes of the wind turbine under the action of wave force are simulated based on Newton's second law. A reward function is designed with the goal of minimizing displacement and speed. When the simulation duration reaches 3600 seconds, it is determined that one round has ended.

[0041] Specifically: The floating wind turbine system can be simplified as a mass-spring-damper system, whose equation of motion is based on Newton's second law:

[0042] Where: m is the equivalent mass of the floating wind turbine, k is the spring stiffness coefficient, c is the damping coefficient, x is the displacement, is the wave force, modeled as a simple harmonic function .

[0043] The reward function is designed to minimize displacement and velocity, as shown below:

[0044] in, is the reward function; In discrete time steps Next, use the Euler integration method to update the system state:

[0045] Furthermore, the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm is used to optimize the strategy using a truncated objective function. By building a strategy network, a two-layer fully connected neural network is used to output the spring stiffness and damping coefficient using a normal distribution to adjust the mean and standard deviation of the action. Specifically: The PPO algorithm uses a truncated objective function to optimize the policy:

[0046] in: To trim the loss function, it is used to limit the amplitude of the strategy update to avoid the large difference between the new and old strategies causing unstable training; is the probability ratio of the new and old strategies; is the advantage estimate; is the discounted return, ; is the clipping parameter, usually set to 0.2.

[0047] The advantage function is estimated using the generalized advantage estimator (GAE):

[0048] in, is a generalized advantage estimator used to approximate the advantage function of an action. is a discount factor used to attenuate the importance of future rewards. is a GAE hyperparameter that controls how much the advantage estimate weighs the multi-step TD error. is a non-negative integer index, is the time difference error, .

[0052] Further construction includes a multi-dimensional state space containing the floating body state, environmental parameters and current tension, as well as a continuous action space for the tension adjustment of each inclined support. In the state space, the state vector contains the physical state and time information of the system:

[0053] in: is the current displacement; is the current speed; t is the current time.

[0054] In the action space, the action is the adjustment of the stiffness and damping parameters:

[0055] in, is the control action vector at time t, which represents the damper parameter adjustment instruction output by the reinforcement learning algorithm; is the adjustment amount of the damper spring stiffness at time t; is the adjustment amount of the damper damping coefficient at time t.

[0056] The actual parameters are updated as follows:

[0057]

[0058] In the training phase, 50 training rounds are set (for demonstration purposes only, but tens of thousands of training rounds are actually required). In each round, the agent continuously interacts with the environment, stores experience, and updates parameters. Finally, the training reward curve, displacement changes under the optimal strategy, and the dynamic adjustment process of spring stiffness and damping coefficient are recorded and visualized, verifying the effectiveness and feasibility of the reinforcement learning algorithm in dynamically adjusting the structural parameters of floating wind turbines and improving stability. Figure 5 shown.

[0059] Example 2 This embodiment discloses a modular construction method for an adjustable floating wind power foundation based on reinforcement learning; like Figure 6 As shown, a modular construction method for an adjustable floating wind turbine foundation based on reinforcement learning includes: S1, prefabrication stage; the prefabrication stage includes prefabrication of tower modules, buoy modules, heave plate modules and wind turbine modules in the factory; commissioning of electrical equipment, testing equipment and communication equipment; S2, offshore assembly phase: using large offshore vessels to transport the prefabricated tower modules, buoy modules, heave plate modules, and wind turbine modules to designated sea areas for connection. After assembly, electrical equipment, testing equipment, and communication equipment are installed and further debugged. The buoys and anchor chains are connected, the suction bucket is transported to the designated location, and inserted into the seabed to complete the installation of the mooring system.

The annular steel frame and the longitudinal steel frame of the pontoon are welded and assembled in the prefabrication workshop, and reinforcement plates are set at the connection nodes of the annular steel frame and the longitudinal steel frame. Concrete is poured in an integrated manner between the two layers of steel plates. In the prefabrication plant, the diagonal supports and heave plates are manufactured in the factory according to the design length and tensile and compressive requirements, and high-strength connectors and adjustment devices are equipped. The assembly and commissioning of various components of the wind turbine are completed, including blades, hubs, nacelles, etc., to ensure that the overall performance of the wind turbine meets the design standards. At the same time, prepare the connection components between the wind turbine and the top of the tower, such as high-strength bolts, shock-absorbing pads, etc.

[0061] For electrical equipment modules, the assembly and commissioning of electrical equipment such as cables, transformers, and switchgear are completed in the factory to ensure good equipment performance. Cables are cut to the designed length in advance, and the ends are processed to facilitate subsequent installation and connection.

The connections are rigorously inspected for strength and accuracy. The prefabricated tower is hoisted in sections onto the pontoon columns for precise docking and assembly, ensuring that the tower's verticality meets strict standards.

[0064] After the tower, pontoons, and heave plates are installed, securely connect one end of the diagonal support to the hole on the tower using a high-strength connector.

Lay signal transmission cables and connect the communication equipment to the data transmission interfaces of wind turbines, monitoring equipment, etc. to achieve remote data transmission and monitoring. After installation, perform a communication test to check whether indicators such as signal strength and transmission rate are normal.

[0067] Finally, the anchor chain is connected to the mooring anchor chain installation hole on the buoy steel frame. The suction bucket is transported to the designated location and penetrated into the seabed using specialized equipment. The other end of the anchor chain is then connected to the suction bucket to complete the mooring system installation.

The firmness of each connection is checked, including the connection between the wind turbine and the tower, the tower and the pontoon, the inclined support and the tower and the pontoon, the heave plate and the pontoon, and the steel and concrete. The tension of the inclined support is tested to see if it meets the design requirements. The stability of the structure in simulated marine environments such as wind, waves, and currents is evaluated.
