Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind power generation, and more specifically, to a method for suppressing horizontal rotational vibration in a wind turbine blade hoisting system. Background Technology
[0002] During the installation of wind turbine blades, horizontal rotational vibrations are easily generated due to factors such as wind load and gravity. These vibrations not only affect the safety and accuracy of the installation but can also lead to fatigue damage to the blades and even more serious structural failure. Therefore, suppressing the horizontal rotational vibration of wind turbine blades during installation is a crucial step in ensuring the safe operation of wind power generation systems.
[0003] In existing technology, a tuned mass damper (TMD) installed inside the blade is proposed, comprising a base, end plate, sliding pair, mass block, spring, and magnet. When the wind turbine blade vibrates, the TMD undergoes passive resonance. The mass block drives the sliding block to move back and forth on the guide rod. The top plate of the base cuts the magnetic field lines of the magnet, generating eddy currents, which convert the vibration energy of the blade into heat energy and dissipate it, thereby reducing the amplitude of the blade vibration. This method suppresses the vibration of the wind turbine blade, and since the TMD is installed inside the blade, removing the TMD is difficult and costly due to its internal installation. Furthermore, the vibration suppression of the horizontal rotation during wind turbine blade hoisting involves suppressing the vibration in the horizontal rotation direction of the entire system. The Multiply Tuned Mass Dampers System (MTMDs) is installed on a clamp. However, this technology only considers the horizontal lateral vibration of the hoisting system during wind turbine blade hoisting. During single-blade hoisting, the hoisting system vibrates with multiple degrees of freedom. Existing damper designs do not effectively suppress other vibrations of the entire hoisting system, which limits their effectiveness in practical applications. Therefore, vibrations in other directions of the hoisting system, such as horizontal rotation, also need to be considered. Summary of the Invention
