Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ocean engineering, in particular to a joint simulation method for structural collision action in the float-over installation process of an offshore converter station. BACKGROUND

[0002] The offshore converter station is a core key device of a deep-sea floating wind farm long-distance power transmission system. In the float-over installation process, the accurate docking of the upper block and the foundation relies on the pile leg docking unit (LMU) to realize buffer and vibration reduction, and the support and stability of the upper block and the barge rely on the deck support device (DSU) to guarantee. Among them, the LMU as the core buffer component, its structural characteristics and contact behavior directly determine the impact load control accuracy of the installation process: on the one hand, the LMU adopts a special geometric design of a tapered tip and a matching tapered receiver, and the tapered tip needs to be accurately captured through the tapered receiver during docking, and flexible components such as horizontal rubber rings and vertical rubber rings are arranged between the tapered tip and the receiver, forming a complex multi-interface contact system; on the other hand, the LMU buffer process presents a significant nonlinear restoring force characteristic - the elastic section relies on the compression deformation of the rubber ring to provide flexible buffer, and the rigid section relies on the steel structure frame to realize limited support, and the stiffness and damping parameters dynamically change in the continuous operation process, so it is difficult for traditional simulation methods to accurately characterize this nonlinear mechanical behavior.

[0003] In the prior art, the simulation of the float-over installation of the offshore converter station is mainly realized by using a single software (such as hydrodynamic software or multi-body dynamics software), which has obvious limitations: if only hydrodynamic analysis tools are used, although the motion of the barge under the action of waves and mooring coupling can be calculated, the complex geometric contact process of the tapered tip and the receiver of the LMU cannot be restored, and it is even more difficult to simulate the nonlinear restoring force mediated by the rubber ring; if only multi-body dynamics software is used, although a simple contact model can be constructed, the dynamic motion of the barge under real sea conditions cannot be accurately coupled, resulting in a significant deviation between the calculated LMU collision force and the actual engineering scenario, and it is impossible to provide reliable basis for the safety control of the installation process.

[0004] In summary, it is necessary to design a joint simulation method for structural collision action in the float-over installation process of an offshore converter station to solve the above problems in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0050] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms “mounting”, “connection”, “connecting” should be understood in a broad sense, for example, can be fixedly connected, can be detachably connected, or integrally connected. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances. In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0051] Reference Figure 1As shown, for the offshore converter station float-over installation process: a barge is provided with a lifting system, the top of the lifting system is provided with a deck support device (DSU) to support the upper block, the bottom of the upper block is provided with a spudcan, and the top of the jacket is provided with a leg mating unit (LMU); the barge carrying the upper block drives into the jacket, and stops in the jacket through the mooring system; when the spudcan is aligned with the LMU, the upper block is lowered by the lifting system, the contact force of the LMU increases, and the contact force of the DSU decreases.

[0052] Since the LMU is a core buffer component, its structural characteristics and contact behavior directly determine the impact load control accuracy of the installation process, the present application proposes a hydrodynamics-multi-body dynamics joint simulation method for complex contact collision and nonlinear restoring force of the leg mating unit (LMU) in the offshore converter station float-over installation process. The specific scheme is as follows:

[0053] Embodiment 1: refer to Figure 2 As shown, the joint simulation method for structural collision in the offshore converter station float-over installation process includes the following steps:

[0054] S1, setting the sea state parameters of the operation sea area, the geometric parameters and material parameters of the float-over system;

[0055] Specifically, the sea state parameters include significant wave height, period and wave direction.

[0056] The geometric parameters of the float-over system include the size of the barge, the weight of the upper block, the structural parameters of the LMU and the DSU.

[0057] For the LMU and DSU structure, refer to Figure 3 As shown, from top to bottom, it includes a conical receiver, an elastic section and a rigid section; taking the LMU as an example, in the modeling process, for the conical receiver, the taper of the spudcan and the inner hole profile of the receiver are accurately reproduced to ensure that the geometric constraints of the spudcan capturing, guiding and limiting during the docking process are consistent with the actual situation; for the elastic section, horizontal / vertical rubber rings are used, which need to be modeled according to the actual size and arrangement position (inner wall of the receiver, outer wall of the spudcan) to restore the compression deformation path of the rubber ring during contact; the elastic section also includes a sandbox structure, and the rigid section includes a steel structure frame, the geometric boundary between the elastic section and the rigid section needs to be clear to ensure that the switching between elastic buffering and rigid limiting during contact matches the actual working condition.

[0058] For the material parameters, specifically the rubber elastic modulus and steel structure stiffness in the LMU and DSU structure.

[0060] For the hydrodynamic model, a Matlab / Simulink self-developed calculation program can be used in this embodiment, i.e. importing the frequency domain hydrodynamic data and mooring parameters in Matlab / Simulink;

[0061] For the multi-body model, Adams software can be used in this embodiment; in this initialization step, the multi-body structure involved in the actual float-over installation process is assembled, and the contact parameters are defined.

[0062] S3, solving the barge motion equation at the current time step by using the hydrodynamic model to obtain barge motion data; then transmitting the barge motion data to the multi-body model;

[0063] From this step, iterative calculation is performed, first using Matlab / Simulink to solve the barge motion according to the current external load (wave force, mooring force, initial ballast force); the specific process is as follows:

[0064] In the float-over installation process, the main hydrodynamic load is the wave load, and the numerical model established in this embodiment is based on three-dimensional potential flow theory, and the motion of the barge is solved by frequency-time conversion method. The frequency domain hydrodynamic data of the barge is calculated by using hydrodynamic analysis software, and the time domain motion equation of the barge is converted by using the Cummins equation according to the frequency domain hydrodynamic data:

[0065]

[0066] In the formula, is the mass of the barge, is the added mass of the barge when the frequency is infinite, is the time history motion of the barge, is the delay function, is the still water restoring stiffness, is the wave force, is the mooring force, is the load of the upper block acting on the DSU.

[0067] The delay function can be obtained by the following formula:

[0068]

[0069] In the formula, B(ω) is the added damping coefficient matrix.

[0070] The wave force can be obtained by convoluting the wave force transfer function and the wave surface time sequence :

[0071]

[0072] The wave force transfer function can be expressed as:

[0073]

[0074] wherein is the wave force transfer function in the frequency domain, is the wave frequency.

[0075] wave surface time history The sequence is generated according to the short-term distribution characteristics of the wave in the working sea area by the JONSWAP spectrum:

[0076]

[0077] wherein , is the wave spectrum, and the JONSWAP spectrum is used in the embodiment.

[0078] The mooring force F of the barge mooring is simplified as a linear equivalent stiffness is calculated.

[0079]

[0080] The DSU contact force F DSU is calculated by the following step S4 and is fed back in real time, and the DSU contact force F at the initial time of simulation is DSU is the gravity of the upper block.

[0081] In the embodiment, the barge motion is obtained by solving the time-domain equation by using a common numerical iteration method.

[0082] S4, the barge motion data in step S3 is taken as the input quantity of the multi-body model to calculate the LMU contact force and the DSU contact force at the current time step, and the LMU contact force and the DSU contact force are fed back to the hydrodynamic model to update the external load of the barge; the multi-body model is used to calculate the attitude equation of the upper block;

[0083] The specific calculation process is as follows:

[0084] S41, in the embodiment, Adams is used in combination with the barge motion data to simulate the LMU contact collision and the DSU support.

[0085] For the DSU contact force model: a lifting system is arranged on the barge deck, and the DSU is installed at the top end of the lifting system. The lifting system is provided with a kinematic pair, which can produce lifting movement in the vertical direction according to a predetermined trajectory, simulating the extension and contraction of the hydraulic rod when the lifting system is working. The upper block is supported on the DSU through the spudcan, and a contact force is arranged between the spudcan and the DSU. The contact is divided into two sections of elastic contact and rigid contact, and the contact force parameters of the two sections are set to be different. The spudcan first contacts the elastic section of the DSU, and after being compressed by about 0.3m, the spudcan starts to contact the rigid section, so as to simulate the change of the rigidity before and after the complete compression of the DSU. In addition, there is a friction force between the spudcan and the receptor for providing horizontal constraint.

[0086] DSU contact force F DSU The calculation formula is:

[0087] ;

[0088] Wherein, K is the contact stiffness, the value of the elastic section (rubber ring in this embodiment) K is 2000~5000N / mm (calibrated according to the test data of rubber material); the value of the rigid section (steel structure in this embodiment) is 10000~15000N / mm, realizing the nonlinear switching of the rigidity.

[0089] In the simulation process, the corresponding contact stiffness K needs to be set according to the characteristics of the DSU.

[0090] δ D (t) is the normal penetration depth of the contact point of the upper block and the barge; e is the rigidity contribution factor, the rubber ring of the elastic section takes 2.0~3.0, which matches the nonlinear compression characteristics of the rubber material; the steel structure of the rigid section takes 1.3~1.5, which matches the metal contact characteristics.

[0091] c is a nonlinear damping coefficient, which is a quantity related to the normal penetration depth of the contact point, and its value includes:

[0092] When δ D (t)<δ cr , δ cr is the critical penetration depth, and c(δ D (t))= ; when δ D ≥δ cr , c(δ D (t))=c max ; wherein, c max =0.01K, to ensure that the damping is dynamically adjusted with the penetration depth, so that the contact force curve is smooth without sudden change.

[0093] In the simulation process, the corresponding nonlinear damping coefficient needs to be set according to the characteristics of the DSU.

[0094] V D (t) is the normal relative velocity of the contact point between the upper block and the barge, V D (t) is the first derivative of δ D (t), representing the dynamic characteristics of the contact process.

[0095] For the LMU contact force model: refer to Figure 1 and 3 , the LMU is installed at the top of the jacket. The upper block is supported on the LMU through the spudcan on the edge leg, and a contact force is set between the spudcan and the LMU. The contact is divided into two sections, elastic contact and rigid contact, with different contact force parameters set for the two sections. The spudcan first contacts the elastic section of the LMU, and after compressing about 0.3m, the spudcan begins to contact the rigid section, simulating the change in stiffness before and after the LMU is fully compressed. In addition, there is a friction force between the spudcan and the receptor, which provides horizontal constraint.

[0096] The calculation formula of the LMU contact force F LMU is:

[0097] ;

[0098] Where K is the contact stiffness, the value of the elastic section (rubber ring in this embodiment) is 2000-5000 N / mm (calibrated according to the test data of rubber material); the value of the rigid section (steel structure in this embodiment) is 10000-15000 N / mm, realizing the nonlinear switching of stiffness.

[0099] In the simulation process, the corresponding contact stiffness K needs to be set according to the characteristics of the LMU.

[0100] δ L is the normal penetration depth of the contact point between the upper block and the jacket, e is the stiffness contribution factor, the rubber ring of the elastic section takes 2.0-3.0, which matches the nonlinear compression characteristics of the rubber material; the steel structure of the rigid section takes 1.3-1.5, which matches the metal contact characteristics.

[0101] c is the nonlinear damping coefficient; it is a quantity related to the normal penetration depth of the contact point, and its value includes:

[0102] When δ L < δ cr , δ cr is the critical penetration depth, c(δ L )= ; when δL ≥δ cr L = c max , where c max = 0.01K, which ensures that the damping is dynamically adjusted with the penetration depth, making the contact force curve smooth and without abrupt changes.

[0103] During the simulation, the corresponding nonlinear damping coefficient needs to be set according to the characteristics of the LMU.

[0104] V L is the normal relative velocity of the contact point between the upper block and the jacket, V L is the first derivative of δ L , representing the dynamic characteristics of the contact process.

[0105] Step S42, for the upper block motion, which is also calculated by Adams according to the LMU contact force and the DSU contact force in step S41, based on the rigid body dynamics formula, the upper block motion formula is as follows:

[0106]

[0107] In the formula, M t is the mass of the upper block, x t (t) is the attitude of the upper block, is the LMU contact force, is the reaction force.

[0108] Step S43, referring to Figure 2 , the LMU contact force and the DSU contact force in step S41 are fed back to Matlab / Simulink, and the barge external load is updated.

[0109] S5, judging whether the time sequence is ended, if not, repeating steps S3-S4; if the time sequence is ended, outputting the barge motion trajectory , the attitude change of the upper block , the LMU contact force time history and the DSU contact force time history curve.
