Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wind turbine generator sets, and mainly to a method and system for determining the elevation of a datum surface for scour analysis of an offshore wind turbine foundation. Background Art

[0002] As the global demand for renewable energy continues to increase, offshore wind power, as a form of clean energy, has received widespread attention and rapid development. However, the stability and safety of offshore wind turbines largely depend on the stability of their foundation structures, and seabed scouring is one of the important factors affecting the stability of wind turbine foundations. Seabed scouring can cause soil loss around the wind turbine foundation, thereby affecting the bearing capacity of the foundation and may even lead to serious consequences such as wind turbine overturning. Therefore, accurate analysis and monitoring of offshore wind turbine foundation scouring is crucial to ensure the safe operation of wind turbines.

[0003] In the existing offshore wind turbine foundation scour analysis methods, the elevation of the three-dimensional point cloud data of the seabed around the wind turbine foundation is usually directly used as the reference surface. The specific method is to take the average of the seabed elevation within a range of 50 meters × 50 meters as the reference surface elevation of the area. However, this method has some obvious shortcomings. First, since the average seabed elevation during each monitoring period may be inconsistent, the results of each scour analysis are relative and cannot be effectively compared with the previous analysis results. This inconsistency is particularly evident in areas with severe scour, which often leads to inconsistent reference surfaces, resulting in inconsistent scour analysis data and difficulty in accurately reflecting the actual scour situation.

[0004] In addition, the existing methods fail to fully consider the influence of factors such as submarine flow characteristics and terrain slope factors on the scouring process, which limits the scientificity and continuity of scouring analysis. Especially under complex submarine terrain and variable ocean current conditions, directly using the average elevation as the reference surface often cannot accurately reflect the actual scouring situation, which in turn affects the accuracy and reliability of scouring analysis.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the shortcomings of existing methods in offshore wind turbine foundation scour analysis, it is urgent to propose a method for determining the datum elevation. Summary of the invention

[0065] S3, calculating the thickness of the shallow silt based on the high-frequency bathymetric data and the low-frequency bathymetric data;

[0066] Specifically, the high-frequency bathymetric data and the low-frequency bathymetric data are converted into elevation through water depth to obtain high-frequency elevation data H1 and low-frequency elevation data H2, which have the same plane position; the thickness H of the shallow silt is calculated based on the high-frequency elevation data H1 and the low-frequency elevation data H2. a , expressed as:

[0071] Water flow data include critical velocity and water velocity at average water depth;

[0072] The theoretical scouring depth of each wind turbine foundation area is calculated based on the water flow data using the semi-analytical balanced scouring formula. Specifically, the scouring depth S under the action of water flow alone is calculated based on the water flow data and the semi-analytical balanced scouring formula. c , S c As the theoretical scouring depth H for each wind turbine foundation area c ,in:

[0073] The semi-analytical balanced scour formula is as follows:

[0074]

[0075] Where V c is the critical velocity at the average water depth, V is the water velocity, and D is the equivalent diameter of the fan foundation;

[0076] Furthermore, the critical velocity V at the average water depth is obtained. c The steps include:

[0077] Determine the median particle size d of sediment through field sampling or historical data 50 (unit: m);

[0078] Based on the median particle size of sediment 50 Calculation of critical shear stress τ c , expressed as:

[0079]

[0080] In the formula, ρ represents the density of water, which is 1000 kg / m 3 ; g represents the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81 m / s 2 ρ s Indicates the density of sediment, take 2650kg / m 3 ;τ0 represents the critical Shields parameter, which is 0.047;

[0081] The critical shear stress τ c Calculate the critical velocity V at the average water depth c , expressed as:

[0082]

[0083] In the formula, C f is the friction coefficient, n is the Manning roughness coefficient. According to different substrate types, the Manning roughness coefficient has corresponding empirical values, such as n∈[0.012,0.015] for cement channels, n∈[0.022,0.025] for stone channels, n∈[0.025,0.030] for clay channels, n∈[0.012,0.015] for concrete pipes, and n∈[0.025,0.040] for silt riverbeds;

[0084] In order to improve the accuracy, the Manning roughness coefficient is derived by reverse calculation based on the flow velocity, water depth and bottom slope in the data collected by field measurement equipment on site, which is expressed as:

[0085]

[0086] Where V avg is the average flow velocity, R is the hydraulic radius, and S is the bottom slope;

[0087] Among them, the hydraulic radius R is calculated by combining the water depth with the geometric parameters of the channel. The corresponding relationship is calculated according to the cross-sectional shape of the channel, which will not be repeated here;

[0090] H=h-max(H a ,H b ,H c );

[0091] In the formula, H b is the thickness of the sediment layer;

[0092] A reconstructed three-dimensional grid data model is obtained based on the grid elevation H and the original three-dimensional topographic data, wherein the reconstructed three-dimensional grid data model removes the elevation influence caused by the dynamics of floating sediment on the seabed and the surface silt, thereby ensuring that the seabed within a certain range of the wind turbine foundation is not affected by the short-term dynamics of the ocean current;

[0093] Furthermore, in the original 3D grid data model, the distribution of corresponding data points of the seabed 3D point cloud data collected by the multi-beam sonar system is dense enough to accurately capture the changes and details of the seabed terrain, meeting the requirements of high precision. The original 3D grid data model can take a distance requirement of 0.5 units; and the reconstructed 3D grid data model combines multi-source data to obtain the reference surface. After correction and optimization of the reference surface, the model can still accurately reflect the actual terrain characteristics of the seabed under a larger scale of grid division. By increasing the grid spacing from 0.5 units to 1 unit, the number of grids is significantly reduced, which reduces the amount of data and the complexity of calculation. This not only improves the calculation rate, but also reduces the burden of storage and processing. Therefore, the reconstructed 3D grid data model is divided into 1*1m grids.
