Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application is suitable for the field of offshore wind power generation, and particularly relates to a calculation method of a bimodal wave spectrum involved in determining wave elements in the design of large offshore wind turbines. BACKGROUND

[0002] Although the offshore wind power industry in China has developed rapidly in recent years, there are still many challenges in the research of offshore wind turbine structures, one of which is how to accurately obtain the dynamic response of offshore wind turbine structures under complex environmental loads, especially under wave environmental loads. At present, the equivalent design wave method is often used to obtain the quasi-static response of offshore wind turbine structures to waves (without considering dynamic response and fatigue problems), while structures with dynamic response need to be modeled in time sequence according to the kinematics principle of the sea surface and its movement, one of the important contents of modeling is to accurately describe the sea state, which is specified by a wave spectrum with given significant wave height, representative frequency, average propagation direction and spreading function. The existing wave spectrum includes JONSWAP spectrum, PM spectrum, TMA spectrum and other theoretical spectrum types. According to the measured wave data of some sea areas in China, it is found that there are differences between the measured wave parameters and the wave parameters calculated by assuming the above wave spectrum, the reason is that sea waves usually exist in the form of mixed waves of wind waves and swell waves, which is reflected in the bimodal spectrum, and the existing wave spectrum is mostly based on the single peak condition, and its direct application to the bimodal spectrum of wind waves and swell waves will result in poor calculation accuracy. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application aims to solve the problem of poor accuracy of conventional wave spectrum calculation methods in bimodal spectrum calculation, and proposes a screening standard for effective measured wave data and a screening standard for bimodal sea wave spectrum through measured wave data, and gives a calculation method of bimodal spectrum through the combination of different wave spectra.

[0004] The technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: a bimodal wave spectrum calculation method for offshore wind turbine design, comprising the following steps:

[0005] S1, screening of measured wave data; according to the wave surface height standard, the cross-zero period standard, the wave surface change rate standard and the spectrum characteristic standard, the measured wave data is screened, and the data segment that meets the four standards at the same time is identified as an effective data segment;

[0006] S2, performing spectrum estimation on all effective data segments by Welch method to obtain sample spectrum, and screening bimodal spectrum from the sample spectrum;

[0007] S3, performing non-dimensionalization processing on the bimodal sample spectrum of step S2 and taking average to obtain the non-dimensional average spectrum of the bimodal spectrum of the measuring station;

[0008] S4. Calculate the mixed wave bimodal spectrum suitable for different sea areas by double JONSWAP combination.

[0009] As preferred, in step S1, the wave height standard is that, in each data segment, first, the wave surface data is zero-mean processed, then the root mean square of the processed wave surface data is calculated, if the wave surface value of any time point of this data segment is greater than 4 times the root mean square, then this point is defined as a bad point, otherwise it is an effective point; if the proportion of bad points in a data segment exceeds 10%, then mark the data segment as unusable, otherwise mark the data segment as usable.

[0010] As preferred, in step S1, the cross-zero period standard is that, if there is a wave cross-zero period greater than 25s in a data segment, then mark the data segment as unusable, otherwise mark the data segment as usable.

[0011] As preferred, in step S1, the wave surface change rate standard is that, if the instantaneous change rate of the wave surface is greater than the maximum change rate of the wave surface, then this point is defined as a bad point, otherwise it is an effective point; in each data segment, if the number of bad points is greater than 15% of the number of cross-zero points, then mark the data segment as unusable, otherwise mark the data segment as usable.

[0012] As preferred, in step S1, the spectral feature standard is that, in each data segment, if the spectral value S(0 + ) at zero frequency and the spectral peak value S(f p ) satisfy S(0 + ) / S(f p )≤0.2, it means that the data segment is usable; if the spectral value S(0 + ) at zero frequency and the spectral peak value S(f p ) satisfy S(0 + ) / S(f p )>0.2, it means that the data segment is wrong and should be marked as unusable.

[0013] As preferred, in step S2, the discrimination standard of the bimodal spectrum is to satisfy the following conditions at the same time:

[0014] (1) wind wave is dominant, that is, the high-frequency spectral peak value is greater than the low-frequency spectral peak value;

[0015] (2) the interval between the high and low frequencies corresponding to the high and low spectral peak values is greater than 0.05Hz;

[0016] (3) the one with the larger spectral peak value in the above high and low frequencies is the main peak, and the one with the smaller spectral peak value is the secondary peak, then the spectral peak value of the secondary peak needs to reach 30% or more of the spectral peak value of the main peak;

[0017] (4) there is a valley value between the above main and secondary peaks, and the valley value needs to be less than 2 / 3 of the spectral peak value of the secondary peak.

[0018] As preferred, in the step S4, the calculation formula of the mixed wave bimodal spectrum is:

[0019] S(μ) = S1(μ) + S2(μ)

[0020] is the dimensionless frequency, f is the frequency, and the unit is Hz, f p is the spectral peak frequency, and the unit is Hz, S1(μ) and S2(μ) represent the low-frequency spectrum and the high-frequency spectrum, respectively;

[0021] When the bimodal spectrum of the mixed wave is described by the double JONSWAP spectrum, the specific formula is

[0022] 1. Dimensionless form:

[0023]

[0024] wherein f p1 is the spectral peak frequency of the low-frequency spectrum, f p2 is the spectral peak frequency of the high-frequency spectrum;

[0025] m 01 +m 02 = 1, wherein represents the dimensionless average spectrum of the measured bimodal spectrum;

[0032]

[0033]

[0034] wherein the value of α represents the relationship between the spectral area m0 of the measured bimodal spectrum screened out in the step S2 and the effective wave height H 1 / 3 of the corresponding data segment, and is obtained by linear regression analysis of m0 and H 1 / 3 ;

[0035] is the spectrum peak period;

[0036] where f p1 represents the spectrum peak frequency of the low-frequency sub-spectrum, f p2 is the spectrum peak frequency of the high-frequency sub-spectrum;

[0037] γ i is the spectrum peak elevation factor, where,

[0038] m 01 +m 02 =1, represents the dimensionless average spectrum of the measured bimodal spectrum;

[0039] where, f is the frequency, the unit is Hz, f p is the spectrum peak frequency, the unit is Hz.

[0040] The present application has the beneficial effects that: the present application proposes the screening standard of the bimodal sea wave spectrum, the method for processing the secondary peak dispersion phenomenon through the measured wave data, and the calculation method of the bimodal spectrum through the combination of different wave spectra. Compared with the single sea wave spectrum such as the JONSWAP spectrum, the PM spectrum, the Wen spectrum and the like, the bimodal spectrum method of the present application can obviously improve the fitting precision when fitting the measured sea wave coexisting with the wind surge, thereby providing more accurate input conditions for the dynamic response modeling of the offshore wind turbine.

[0045] Wave height criterion; in each data segment, first, the wave height data is zero-meaned, then the root mean square of the processed wave height data is calculated, if the wave height value of any time point in this data segment is greater than 4 times the root mean square, then this point is defined as a bad point, otherwise it is an effective point; if the proportion of bad points in a data segment exceeds 10%, then mark the data segment as unusable, otherwise mark the data segment as usable;
