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 method for using the device. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing global demand for clean energy, offshore wind power has attracted widespread attention as an environmentally friendly and sustainable energy source. However, during actual operation, offshore wind power platforms are often subject to severe vibrations due to natural factors such as tides, waves, and currents. This not only affects the stable operation of wind turbines, but can also shorten the equipment's lifespan and increase maintenance costs.
[0003] Currently, common vibration reduction measures for offshore wind turbine platforms include passive and active vibration reduction. Passive vibration reduction typically uses mechanical structures such as vibration isolation pads and dampers to absorb and dissipate vibration energy. However, the vibration reduction effect is limited and cannot cope with complex changes in the marine environment. In particular, under the influence of tides, waves, and currents, the platform may still experience significant vibration. Active vibration reduction uses sensors and control systems to monitor the platform's vibration status in real time and uses actuators such as hydraulic cylinders and electric motors to make dynamic adjustments to offset vibration. However, the system is complex, costly, and requires continuous power supply, which increases maintenance difficulties and operating costs.
[0004] Furthermore, existing vibration reduction devices generally lack effective energy recovery mechanisms, resulting in a significant amount of vibration energy generated during the reduction process being wasted and not effectively utilized. Meanwhile, while some research has attempted to harness tidal energy for power generation, these solutions have primarily focused on large-scale tidal power stations and are difficult to directly apply to small-scale vibration energy recovery on offshore wind turbines.
