[0002] Currently, offshore floating wind turbine foundations mostly utilize pure steel structures, but the use of steel-concrete structures is gradually increasing. For example, some new designs utilize steel-concrete hybrid structures. By using concrete in areas such as the buoys, heave plates, and horizontal coupling beams, combining the high strength of steel with the high stiffness of concrete, they optimize structural performance. With the improvement of material performance and the refinement of design specifications, steel-concrete structures are expected to become a key development direction for floating wind turbine foundations.

[0003] However, the current steel-concrete material selection method has the following defects: it is highly dependent on experience and historical engineering data, making it difficult to quantify the performance of new materials; the analysis dimension is single and the relationship between wave dynamic loads and material fatigue properties is not comprehensively considered; there is insufficient decision support and a lack of visualization tools, making it impossible to intuitively compare the cost-performance balance relationship.

[0014] Furthermore, the comprehensive safety score in the safety verification module includes a weighted score of compression safety, tensile safety and fatigue safety.

[0015] Furthermore, the cost analysis module also includes calculating a cost performance index, which is the ratio of the comprehensive performance score of the material to the total cost of the material over its entire life cycle.

[0016] Furthermore, the bubble size of the bubble chart reflects the safety score mechanical performance index, and different colors distinguish the safety verification status.

[0017] The present invention also includes a safety cost-benefit analysis method for offshore wind power steel-concrete materials, which adopts a selection analysis model for floating offshore wind power foundation materials of any of the above solutions, including the following steps:

[0040]

[0041] Where L is the wavelength, k is the wave number, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

[0042] The diffraction effect is accurately calculated using the following Bessel function:

[0043] dimensionless wave number

[0044] First-order Bessel function of the first kind J1(ka)

[0045] Derivative term

[0046] Complex diffraction coefficient

[0047] Where a is the radius of the floating body, ka reflects the relative ratio of the structure size (radius) to the wave characteristics (wavelength); J0(ka) and J2(ka) are the first-order zero-order and second-order Bessel functions, respectively;

[0048] Calculate the wave force resultant:

[0049] Incident wave force

[0050] Diffraction wave force

[0051] Total wave force F total =|F incident +F diffraction |(Vector Overlay)

[0052] Calculation of maximum bending moment:

[0053] Maximum bending moment

[0054] Through the above steps, the maximum bending moment M of the design wave height can be achieved max Calculation.

[0055] Step S2: Calculate the actual tensile stress σ generated by the design wave height of each material actual :

[0056]

[0057] Where: D: float diameter (m); section moment of inertia I: t is the wall thickness of the floating foundation corresponding to each material.

[0058] Verification of tensile strength:

[0059] σ tensile allowable =σ actual ×γ t ;

[0060] Verification conditions: σ Tmaterial >σ tensile allowable ;

[0061] Among them, σTmaterial : Material tensile strength (MPa);

[0062] σ tensileallowable : Allowable tensile strength of the material (MPa);

[0063] γ t : Tensile safety factor, γ t =1.5.

[0064] Verification of compressive strength:

[0065] σ compressiveallowable =σ compressiveactual ×γ c ;

[0066] σ compressiveactual =σ actual ×0.6;

[0067] Verification conditions: σ Cmaterial >σ compressiveallowable ;

[0068] Where: Cmaterial : Material compressive strength (MPa);

[0069] γ c : compressive safety factor, γ c =1.2;

[0070] Actual compressive stress σ compressiveactual : In this embodiment, it is assumed that the compressive stress is 60% of the actual stress generated by the design wave height (empirical coefficient);

[0071] Fatigue damage assessment:

[0072]

[0073] Verification conditions: D fatigue <0.1

[0088]

[0089] Among them, the safety factor Sfatigue is defined as the inverse of the maximum fatigue damage value;

[0090] When Dfatigue = 1, the safety factor Sfatigue = 1, indicating that the material has just reached the critical point of failure;

[0091] If Dfatigue < 1, then Sfatigue > 1, indicating that there is still a safety margin;

[0092] If Dfatigue>1, then Sfatigue<1, indicating that failure has occurred;

[0093] In this embodiment, the following formula is used:

[0094]

[0095] In the original formula, a lower limit threshold of 0.001 is added to the denominator D. This is to prevent the safety factor from being infinite when D = 0 (e.g., when no damage occurs) and to prevent the safety factor from being too large when D is too small (e.g., when D = 0.0001, S = 10,000), which would result in an unstable value.

[0102] The weights are added up to: α+β+γ=1, and the score is converted to a percentage system (×100). The higher the value, the better the material safety.

[0103] Step S3, material cost analysis:

[0105]

[0106]

[0107] Where ρ is the density of each material, V is the volume of the material (calculated by inputting the displacement value), displacement is the input displacement value, T1 is the design life of each material, C m 、C t 、C mt They are unit material cost, construction cost, and maintenance cost respectively.

[0108] Normalized cost-performance ratio score for mechanical properties and cost:

[0110]

[0111] Where μ and η are adjustable weight coefficients, satisfying μ+η=1. σ c , σ t are the compressive and tensile strength of the material, σ cmax and σ tmax are the maximum compressive and tensile values ​​of each material in the library.

[0112] Calculate cost score S C :

[0113]

[0114] Among them, ε, κ, is an adjustable weight coefficient, satisfying that the sum of the three is 1, preferably, ε, κ, They are 0.5, 0.3 and 0.2 respectively. mt , σ f are design life, material maintenance cost, fatigue strength, T max 、C mtmax , σ f,max It is the maximum value among the life cycle, maintenance cost and fatigue strength values ​​of each material.

[0115] Calculate the material comprehensive performance score Y:

[0116] Y=τ·S mech +υ·S C

[0117] Among them, τ, υ are adjustable weight coefficients, satisfying τ + υ = 1;

[0118] In this embodiment, optionally,

[0119]

[0120] Furthermore, the cost-performance index (MRP) can be calculated to score the cost-performance of materials:

[0121]

[0122] Among them, the larger the value of the cost-effectiveness index MRP is, the higher the cost-effectiveness of the material is.

[0123] Step S5, generate a visual bubble chart:

[0124] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the total cost C total A plane bubble chart is established with X as the X-axis and the comprehensive performance score Y as the Y-axis, wherein the size of the bubble reflects the comprehensive safety score coefficient, and the larger the bubble, the higher the comprehensive safety score; different colors distinguish the safety verification status, red indicates that the verification has failed, green indicates that the verification has passed, and orange indicates that the verification has partially passed; the present invention displays a fast nested process from input parameters to results, and the chart will change in real time with the change of input parameters, reflecting dynamic visualization.

[0125] The present invention solves the problems of complex calculations and single evaluation dimensions in traditional analysis methods, and can significantly improve the efficiency and reliability of floating foundation material selection.

[0126] The above-described embodiments merely represent specific implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
