Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vibration reduction power generation, and in particular to a tidal energy vibration reduction power generation device for an offshore wind power platform and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the global demand for clean energy continues to increase, offshore wind power has attracted widespread attention as an environmentally friendly and sustainable form of energy. However, during the actual operation of offshore wind power platforms, due to the influence of natural factors such as tides, waves and ocean currents, severe vibrations often occur, which not only affects the stable operation of wind turbines, but also may shorten the service life of the equipment and increase maintenance costs.

[0003] At present, the vibration reduction measures commonly used in offshore wind power platforms mainly include passive vibration reduction and active vibration reduction. Passive vibration reduction usually uses mechanical structures such as vibration isolation pads and dampers to absorb and consume vibration energy. However, the vibration reduction effect is limited and it is difficult to cope with complex changes in the marine environment. In particular, under the influence of tides, waves and currents, the platform may still experience large vibrations. Active vibration reduction uses sensors and control systems to monitor the vibration state of the platform in real time, and uses actuators such as hydraulic cylinders and motors to make dynamic adjustments to offset vibrations. However, the system is complex, costly, and requires continuous power supply, which increases the difficulty of maintenance and operating costs.

[0004] In addition, existing vibration reduction devices generally lack effective energy recovery mechanisms, and a large amount of vibration energy generated during the vibration reduction process is wasted and not effectively utilized. At the same time, although some studies have tried to use tidal energy for power generation, these solutions are mostly concentrated in large tidal power stations and are difficult to directly apply to small-scale vibration energy recovery on offshore wind power platforms.
