AI Technical Summary
The anchor chains of existing floating offshore wind turbine structures lack buffering, vibration reduction, and energy dissipation functions under extreme wind and wave conditions, resulting in excessive instantaneous acceleration of the wind turbine structure. Furthermore, the anchor chains suffer severe impact damage during long-term use, making it difficult to guarantee safety during the 20-30 year service life.
Design a vibration-damping and energy-dissipating anchor chain system comprising a vibration-damping anchor head, a flexible anchor chain, and an anchor chain energy dissipation component. The system absorbs vibration energy through friction between the vibration-damping anchor head and the seabed foundation and the elastic deformation of the anchor chain energy dissipation component, thereby enhancing the vibration reduction effect. The vibration reduction effect can be controlled by adjusting the number and position of the anchor chains installed through a power system.
In extreme environments, it increases the friction area between the anchor chain and the seabed, reduces the frequency and peak value of dynamic loads on the anchor chain and tower structure, extends the service life of offshore wind power structures, and does not occupy the internal space of the tower, providing flexible vibration reduction and control capabilities.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vibration reduction and control technology for offshore wind power structures, and in particular to a vibration reduction and energy dissipation anchor chain for floating offshore wind power structures and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing consumption and demand for energy, energy issues have gradually become a prominent problem restricting social development. Offshore wind energy development and utilization is a crucial strategic support for accelerating energy transition, solving environmental pollution problems, and achieving the goals of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality." Currently, offshore wind power construction is developing towards "larger scale," "deeper water," and "floating" structures, with increasingly taller towers and longer turbine blades, making the vibration response problem of wind turbine structures increasingly prominent. In recent years, incidents of shutdowns caused by excessive vibration have occurred repeatedly, seriously hindering the high-quality development of offshore wind power.
[0003] Currently, the mooring systems used in floating offshore wind turbine structures are mostly combinations of traditional anchor chains and suction cylinder foundations. When encountering extreme wind and wave loads, the anchor chains quickly tighten. While this provides load-bearing capacity for the floating platform and tower turbine structure, it severely lacks buffering, vibration reduction, and energy dissipation functions. The moment the anchor chains tighten, the turbine structure often experiences excessive instantaneous acceleration. Furthermore, the repeated tightening of the anchor chains over a long period leads to rapid accumulation of impact damage, making it difficult to guarantee the safety of offshore wind turbines during their 20-30 year service life. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide new technical means for vibration control of floating offshore wind turbine structures.

The vibration-damping anchor head can deform to a certain extent both axially and longitudinally.

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0038] Reference Figures 1-8 This invention provides a vibration-damping and energy-dissipating anchor chain for floating offshore wind power structures, comprising:
[0039] Anchor chain fixing ring 4 is installed on the cylinder body of the tower 6 located on the floating platform 5;
[0040] The vibration damping assembly includes several vibration damping anchor heads 1 and several flexible anchor chains 2. The tail end of the vibration damping anchor head 1 is connected to the anchor chain fixing ring 4 through the flexible anchor chain 2. The head end of the vibration damping anchor head 1 extends into the seabed foundation for anchoring and damping the tower 6. The floating platform 5 is connected to the suction cylinder foundation 7 in the seabed foundation through the flexible anchor chain 2.
[0041] The energy dissipation assembly includes several anchor chain energy dissipation components 3, which are installed on the flexible anchor chain 2 and are used to reduce vibration and dissipate energy in the flexible anchor chain 2.
[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, the vibration-damping anchor head 1 can deform to a certain extent in both the axial and longitudinal directions. Therefore, when encountering extreme environmental loads, when the anchor chain energy dissipation component 3 reaches its deformation limit, the vibration-damping anchor head 1 can be gradually stretched to increase the mutual friction area with the foundation soil, thereby further enhancing the vibration reduction effect. Under the premise of ensuring strength, the anchor chain energy dissipation component 3 can undergo a certain degree of elastic deformation. Therefore, when the environmental load is small and relatively stable, the anchor chain energy dissipation component 3 can effectively reduce the frequency and peak value of the dynamic load on the anchor chain and tower structure, and reduce the impact damage to the anchor chain and tower structure. The equipment of the present invention does not need to be arranged inside the tower, and does not need to occupy the limited space inside the tower. It has the characteristics of flexible arrangement, adjustability and controllability. In the design and installation stage, the vibration reduction effect can be adjusted by adjusting the number, position and spacing of the installation. In the use stage, the anchor chain can be tightened or released through the power system, and the vibration reduction effect of the anchor chain energy dissipation component 3 in any direction can be readjusted, thereby extending the service life of the offshore wind power structure.
[0043] As an optional implementation, the vibration-damping anchor head 1 includes a cone head 11, a plurality of vibration-damping connectors 12, a plurality of hoop rings 13 and a plurality of pressure plates 14. Adjacent vibration-damping connectors 12 are connected by hoop rings 13. The vibration-damping connector 12 located at the front end is connected to the vibration-damping anchor head 1. The vibration-damping connector 12 is connected to the pressure plate 14. The pressure plate 14 is connected to the flexible anchor chain 2.
[0044] As an optional implementation, the vibration damping connector 12 includes a limiting inner tube 121. One end of a compression spring 123 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting inner tube 121 along the circumferential direction. The other end of the compression spring 123 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped outer plate 122. Two adjacent arc-shaped outer plates 122 are connected. The top and bottom ends of the arc-shaped outer plates 122 are respectively fixedly connected to an upper connecting ear 124 and a lower connecting ear 125. The upper connecting ear 124 and the lower connecting ear 125 on two adjacent vibration damping connectors 12 are connected by bolts 126. A hoop 13 is located at the connection between the upper connecting ear 124 and the lower connecting ear 125.
[0045] Specifically, the vibration reduction principle of the vibration-damping anchor head 1 is as follows: the pressure plate 14 is slowly pulled out of the arc-shaped hole 128 by the pressure plate zipper 22, and the fixed constraint of the hoop 13 on the vibration-damping connector 12 is gradually released. The pressure plate 14 will spring outward under the action of the compression spring 123. The vibration-damping connector 12, which is freed from the fixed constraint, will have elastic deformation capability. It can consume vibration energy through the compression and rebound of the compression spring 123 and the mutual friction between the arc-shaped outer plate 122 and the foundation soil, thereby achieving the vibration reduction effect.
[0046] As an optional implementation, the anchor chain energy dissipation component 3 includes a damping structure 31 and a stiffness structure 32, with the damping structure 31 disposed on the stiffness structure 32.
[0047] The rigid structure 32 includes two steel plates 321, which are respectively connected to two flexible anchor chains 2. The top and bottom of the two side walls of the two steel plates 321 are provided with slide rails 324. A steel truss 322 is slidably connected between the two slide rails 324. The two steel trusses 322 are connected by bolts 323.
[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the steel truss 322 prevents the telescopic rod 313 and the telescopic spring 312 from being overstretched and breaking when the connecting anchor chain 21 is subjected to tensile load; and prevents the telescopic rod 313 and the telescopic spring 312 from being damaged by rapid contraction when the connecting anchor chain 21 is unloaded.
[0049] As an optional implementation, the damping structure 31 includes two rubber pads 311, which are fixedly connected to two steel plates 321 respectively. A plurality of telescopic rods 313 are fixedly connected between the two rubber pads 311, and telescopic springs 312 are sleeved on the telescopic rods 313.
[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the connecting anchor chain is unloaded, the rubber pad 311 is used to absorb the released energy of the telescopic rod 313 and the telescopic spring 312 of the damping structure 31, thereby improving the service life of the anchor chain energy dissipation component 3.
[0051] Specifically, the vibration reduction principle of the anchor chain energy dissipation component 3 is as follows: when the connecting anchor chain 21 is subjected to tensile load, the steel truss 322 slides towards the center of the steel plate 321, and the telescopic rod 313 and telescopic spring 312 of the damping structure 31 undergo tensile deformation, which will slow down the tensioning speed of the connecting anchor chain 21 and reduce the impact damage to the connecting anchor chain 21; when the connecting anchor chain 21 is unloaded, the steel truss 322 slides towards the edge of the steel plate 321, and the telescopic rod 313 and telescopic spring 312 of the damping structure 31 contract, which will reduce the relaxation speed of the connecting anchor chain 21.
[0052] As an optional implementation, the flexible anchor chain 2 includes a connecting anchor chain 21 and a pressure plate zipper 22. The anchor chain fixing ring 4, the lower connecting lug 125 and the steel plate 321 are connected by the connecting anchor chain 21, and the pressure plate zipper 22 is connected to the pressure plate 14.
[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting anchor chain 21 is used to connect the vibration damping anchor head 1, the anchor chain energy dissipation component 3 and the tower 6, and also serves to transfer dynamic loads among the three; the pressure plate zipper 22 is only used to pull the pressure plate 14 and does not serve to bear dynamic loads, and its tensile strength may be less than that of the connecting anchor chain 21.
[0054] As an optional implementation, a connecting ring is provided on the steel plate 321, and the connecting ring is connected to the connecting anchor chain 21.
[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, holes are provided on both the rubber pad 311 and the steel plate 321 for installing a connecting ring, which is used to connect with the connecting anchor chain 21.
[0056] As an optional implementation, both the inner limiting tube 121 and the arc-shaped outer plate 122 are provided with square holes 127.
[0057] In one embodiment of the present invention, square holes 127 are provided on both the inner limiting tube 121 and the arc-shaped outer plate 122 to facilitate the entry of seawater and seabed foundation soil.
[0058] As an optional implementation, both the arc-shaped outer plate 122 and the hoop 13 are provided with arc-shaped holes 128 for inserting the pressure plate 14.
[0059] In one embodiment of the present invention, the arc-shaped hole 128 facilitates the passage of the pressure plate 14.
[0060] A method for using vibration-damping and energy-dissipating anchor chains for floating offshore wind power structures includes the following steps:
[0061] The floating platform 5 is connected to the suction cylinder foundation 7 in the seabed foundation via flexible anchor chain 2;
[0062] Several vibration-damping anchor heads 1 are thrown around the tower 6 to the seabed foundation surface, and the vibration-damping anchor heads 1 are embedded into the seabed foundation by the flexible anchor chain 2 that is stretched and connected.
[0063] Install several anchor chain energy dissipation components 3 on the flexible anchor chain 2;
[0064] Install the other end of the flexible anchor chain 2 onto the anchor chain fixing ring 4, and install the anchor chain fixing ring 4 onto the tower 6.
[0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, during use, the vibration-damping anchor head 1 is first fabricated, and the pressure plate 14 is passed through the arc-shaped hole 128 of the vibration-damping connector 12 and the hoop 13 to pre-compress the multiple sets of compression springs 123 inside the vibration-damping anchor head 1. The energy dissipation component 3 of the anchor chain is fabricated, and the vertical distance between the steel plates 321 is controlled by the steel truss 322 so that the distance between the steel plates 321 is slightly greater than the natural length of the telescopic springs 312 and the telescopic rods 313 to pre-tension the multiple sets of telescopic springs 312 inside the energy dissipation component 3. The vibration-damping anchor head 1 and the energy dissipation component 3 of the anchor chain are connected with the anchor chain and transported to the site.
[0066] The vibration damping anchor head 1 is thrown onto the seabed foundation surface surrounding the floating offshore wind turbine. The anchor chain is wrapped around the tower 6. The connecting anchor chain 21 is continuously stretched by the power system until the vibration damping anchor head 1 is completely embedded into the seabed foundation. The anchor chain is then fixed to the tower 6 using the anchor chain fixing ring 4.
[0067] Repeat the above steps to gradually install vibration-damping and energy-dissipating anchor chains in a fan shape around the floating offshore wind turbine until the maximum acceleration and other dynamic indicators of the floating offshore wind turbine meet the requirements during normal operation and power generation, at which point the installation of vibration-damping and energy-dissipating anchor chains is stopped.
[0068] When the floating offshore wind power structure encounters extreme wind and wave loads, when all anchor chain energy dissipation components 3 reach their energy dissipation limits, the anchor chain fixing ring 4 is released from fixing the pressure plate zipper 22. The power system stretches the pressure plate zipper 22 and the pressure plate 14, causing the vibration damping connector 12 to gradually open and play a role in vibration damping and energy dissipation.
[0069] After the extreme wind and wave load has passed, the tension state of the internal telescopic spring 312 of the anchor chain energy dissipation component 3 is adjusted by stretching or releasing the anchor chain through the power system, in preparation for the next extreme wind and wave load.
[0070] Overall principle of the invention:
[0071] The vibration reduction principle of the vibration-damping anchor head 1 is as follows: the pressure plate 14 is slowly pulled out of the arc-shaped hole 128 by the pressure plate zipper 22, and the fixed constraint of the hoop 13 on the vibration-damping connector 12 is gradually released. The pressure plate 14 will spring outward under the action of the compression spring 123. The vibration-damping connector 12, which is freed from the fixed constraint, will have elastic deformation capability. It can consume vibration energy through the compression and rebound of the compression spring 123 and the mutual friction between the arc-shaped outer plate 122 and the foundation soil, thereby achieving the vibration reduction effect.
[0072] The vibration reduction principle of the anchor chain energy dissipation component 3 is as follows: When the connecting anchor chain 21 is subjected to tensile load, the steel truss 322 slides towards the center of the steel plate 321, and the telescopic rod 313 and telescopic spring 312 of the damping structure 31 undergo tensile deformation, which will slow down the tensioning speed of the connecting anchor chain 21 and reduce the impact damage to the connecting anchor chain 21; when the connecting anchor chain 21 is unloaded, the steel truss 322 slides towards the edge of the steel plate 321, and the telescopic rod 313 and telescopic spring 312 of the damping structure 31 contract, which will reduce the relaxation speed of the connecting anchor chain 21.
