AI Technical Summary
In the field of offshore wind power, floating wind turbine mooring systems are prone to rapid overload or slack of mooring cable tension under extreme sea conditions, which can lead to decreased positioning accuracy and structural fatigue damage, reducing the reliability and service life of the mooring system.
An adaptive adjustment system for tension-leg floating wind turbine mooring cables is adopted, which includes wind turbine tower, floating foundation, retractable mooring cable, anchoring foundation, environmental monitoring equipment, tension sensor and central controller. By monitoring marine environmental parameters and tension signals in real time, the system uses a graded adjustment strategy to control the length adjustment component to adjust the length of the mooring cable and avoid overload or slack.
It enables adaptive adjustment of the mooring cable, improves the reliability and service life of the mooring system, ensures the positioning accuracy of the floating foundation and the stable operation of the wind turbine, and adapts to the needs of use under different sea conditions.
