Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of marine renewable energy comprehensive utilization technology, and in particular, it is a multi-degree-of-freedom broadband control method for wind and wave energy based on heterogeneous frequency coupling. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous growth in demand for marine renewable energy development, wind and wave energy have become important directions for the comprehensive utilization of marine energy due to their abundant resources and strong complementarity. Existing wind-wave combined systems typically couple floating wind power generation systems with wave energy conversion units to achieve simultaneous utilization of wind and wave energy. However, traditional wind-wave combined energy harvesting devices still have significant shortcomings in terms of structural layout, energy capture mechanisms, and control methods, making it difficult to meet the demand for efficient and stable power generation under complex sea conditions.

[0003] Traditional wind-wave combined systems often employ single-degree-of-freedom vibration energy capture mechanisms (such as heave or pitch) in their wave energy capture modules, failing to fully utilize the multi-degree-of-freedom coupled motion energy induced by waves, thus limiting the energy acquisition range and conversion efficiency. Furthermore, traditional wind-wave combined systems are typically located on or near the water surface, making them susceptible to wave impacts and extreme sea conditions. This results in complex structural stresses, high operational risks, and high maintenance costs. In harsh environments, they often require shutdown for safety reasons, affecting the continuity of power generation.

[0004] Existing wind and wave combined energy harvesting systems mostly adopt passive or independent control methods, failing to establish a broadband collaborative control system and a dynamic optimization mechanism for all operating conditions oriented towards inter-frequency energy coupling. This makes it difficult to simultaneously consider energy capture efficiency, attitude stability, and structural safety, resulting in poor adaptive and robust performance of the system under complex sea conditions.

[0005] The applicant's earlier Chinese invention patent application CN120351093A discloses a suspended floating wind-wave combined generator set and a coordinated control method. The combined generator set includes a semi-submersible floating platform. A wind power generation device is installed on the upper part of the semi-submersible floating platform. The semi-submersible floating platform is anchored by three sets of anchor chains. Three power generation sleeves are hinged inside the semi-submersible floating platform. The lower end of each power generation sleeve is respectively installed on the upper end of a variable-length damping diagonal strut. The lower end of the damping diagonal strut is hinged to the suspended hammer through a universal joint. The power generation sleeves, damping diagonal struts and suspended hammer together form an inverted triangular pyramid-shaped wave energy generation device. Both the wind power generation device and the wave energy generation device are controlled by the control system. This patent application employs a layout of "semi-submersible platform + three sets of variable-length damping braces connecting the suspension weights + power generation sleeves." Wave energy is primarily obtained through the axial expansion and contraction of the three braces. While wind and wave energy control is described as coordinated, it lacks a joint modeling of wind speed disturbances and wave spectra across different frequencies. Furthermore, it fails to provide a unified expression for the coupled dynamics and frequency-dependent damping and stiffness of the multi-degree-of-freedom (6DOF platform + suspension weights + PTO stroke) system. The control side relies mainly on local and independent adjustments, lacking a state machine for full-condition, constrained optimization control and protection. Under complex sea conditions, it is difficult to simultaneously address attitude and mooring load suppression while simultaneously capturing wide-bandwidth energy.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive collaborative control method that can be used in different frequency wind and wave environments and take into account multi-degree-of-freedom response, so as to achieve efficient, stable and intelligent energy harvesting of wind and wave energy combined devices. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a multi-degree-of-freedom broadband control method for wind and wave energy based on heterogeneous frequency coupling. This method can achieve broadband capture of low-frequency wind-induced and high-frequency wave-induced coupled energy under complex sea conditions, effectively improving the system's energy utilization, attitude stability, and structural safety, and possessing good robustness and engineering adaptability.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A multi-degree-of-freedom broadband control method for wind and wave energy based on heterogeneous frequency coupling includes the following steps: S1. Establish a wind-wave heterogeneous frequency energy coupling model By constructing a wind-wave heterofrequency energy coupling model in the frequency domain, the energy correlation between wind speed disturbances and ocean waves at different frequency scales is uniformly described. This wind-wave heterofrequency energy coupling model uses the joint wind-wave heterofrequency spectral density function as its core mathematical representation to characterize the statistical properties and energy transfer mechanisms of wind and wave energy under heterofrequency conditions.

[0009] The joint spectral density function of wind and waves at different frequencies is defined as: ,in: For the combined frequency spectral density of wind and waves; ω w Let be the angular frequency of the wind speed disturbance. ω p Let be the angular frequency of the ocean waves; the two are independent frequency variables. S U ( ω w () represents the wind speed perturbation spectral density function based on the standard wind speed spectral model; S η ( ω p () represents the sea surface displacement / wave height spectral density function based on the standard wave spectral model; ψ ( ω w ,ω p ) is the wind-wave frequency energy coupling weighting function, which reflects the energy transfer relationship between wind disturbances of different frequencies and waves of the same / different frequencies.

[0010] By using the aforementioned joint wind and wave frequency spectra, the statistical characteristics of wind and wave energy and their inter-frequency coupling mechanism can be characterized within a unified frequency domain framework. Based on this, 0th–2nd order spectral moments are calculated for both wind and wave edge spectra. Utilizing the correspondence between spectral moments and time-domain statistics, frequency domain information is mapped to time-domain characteristic parameters such as equivalent mean, variance, and effective frequency. Furthermore, based on the obtained time-domain statistics, an equivalent excitation time history consistent with the target frequency band energy distribution is generated, serving as the energy input boundary condition for subsequent collaborative control strategy design and optimization, providing a foundation for stable and efficient energy acquisition across the entire operating range.

[0011] S2. Multi-degree-of-freedom heterogeneous frequency wind and wave coupled dynamics modeling Based on the joint wind-wave spectrum input obtained in step S1, a multi-degree-of-freedom wind-wave heterofrequency coupled dynamic model considering both wind-induced and wave-induced loads is established. This multi-degree-of-freedom wind-wave heterofrequency coupled dynamic model characterizes the unsteady response of the system under low-frequency wind-induced disturbances and high-frequency wave-induced excitations. Specifically, based on the joint spectrum input given by the wind-wave heterofrequency energy coupling model, heterofrequency coupled dynamic equations including wind-induced and wave-induced load terms are constructed, providing a structural dynamics foundation for subsequent PTO energy feedback modeling and collaborative control strategy design.

[0012] S3. PTO Energy Feedback and Nonlinear Coupling Modeling Based on the multi-degree-of-freedom hetero-frequency wind-wave coupled dynamics model established in step S2, a PTO energy feedback model is constructed, forming an energy feedback system and a nonlinear damping coupled system under the joint excitation of wind and waves. The stiffness matrix and damping matrix of the multi-degree-of-freedom hetero-frequency wind-wave coupled dynamics model simultaneously consider the frequency distribution of the joint excitation of wind and waves and the PTO feedback effect, forming a total stiffness matrix with nonlinear coupling characteristics. K total ( ω ) and total damping matrix C total ( ω ): K total ( ω )= K ( ω )+ K PTO ( ω ) C total ( ω )= C ( ω )+ C PTO ( ω ) in, K ( ω )and C ( ω These are the frequency-dependent stiffness matrix and damping matrix without PTO feedback, respectively. K PTO ( ω ) and C PTO ( ω ) represents the equivalent stiffness and equivalent damping terms generated during the PTO energy feedback process, used to characterize the impact of energy extraction on the structural dynamics.

[0013] S4. Construction of Dynamic Optimization Control Objective Function Based on the response of the multi-degree-of-freedom heterogeneous frequency wind-wave coupled dynamics model in step S2 and the PTO energy feedback output in step S3, a multi-objective optimization function is established with wind energy output power, wave energy output power, and system motion stability as variables. By setting different weighting coefficients, a synergistic balance between maximizing energy gain and stability constraints is achieved, providing a unified objective for solving subsequent control parameters.

[0014] S5. Full-condition adaptive cooperative control strategy To achieve full-band energy capture and stable system response of the wind and wave energy combined device under complex sea conditions, an adaptive and cooperative control strategy based on model predictive control (MPC) is constructed based on the multi-degree-of-freedom heterogeneous frequency wind and wave coupled dynamic model established in step S2 and the PTO energy feedback model in step S3.

[0015] The control strategy employs a time-domain rolling optimization algorithm based on model predictive control (MPC), using the effective wave spectrum at each sampling time. Effective wind speed spectrum The linear transfer function (LTF) is used to predict external excitations in the future. Frequency domain weights are introduced into the optimization objective function to increase the penalty weights on the attitude response and structural load corresponding to the main wave frequency band, so as to suppress the response of this frequency band and improve the overall energy gain capability of the system.

[0016] In the process of the time-domain rolling optimization algorithm, the total stiffness matrix is ​​combined. K total ( ω ) and the total damping matrix C total ( ω The system solves for control variables online and explicitly sets operational constraints, including: PTO current and rate of change, strut stroke and velocity, platform attitude angle, tower base bending moment, and upper limit of mooring tension. Real-time solutions are obtained using quadratic programming or equivalent convex optimization algorithms; reinforcement learning algorithms are introduced when necessary to achieve adaptive parameter adjustment.

[0017] By introducing a constraint feedback and protection mechanism within the model-based predictive control framework, the system automatically switches to a damping enhancement mode when any constraint exceeds the limit. This mode suppresses platform amplitude and energy peak by increasing virtual damping, reducing equivalent stiffness, and limiting energy feedback intensity, thereby ensuring the structural safety of the system.

[0018] To ensure that the control optimization process is consistent with the inherent dynamic characteristics of the system, the unit's natural frequency constraint is introduced during the control parameter scheduling process. The unit's natural frequency is obtained by solving the following characteristic equation: ω | K tot det 2 M |=0, Where: ω is the angular frequency of the natural vibration (rad / s); K totThe total stiffness matrix includes hydrostatic, mooring, and PTO equivalent stiffness terms; M is the overall mass-inertia matrix of the unit. Through the aforementioned natural frequency constraints, adverse resonances with key structural modes can be avoided during control parameter adjustments, ensuring structural safety.

[0019] Building upon the aforementioned model predictive control optimization and inherent frequency constraints of the unit, this invention further constructs a hierarchical collaborative control system for low-frequency, mid-frequency, and high-frequency bands. Specifically, in the low-frequency band, control of platform attitude and overall drift response is achieved primarily through adjusting equivalent stiffness and mooring system parameters; in the mid-frequency band, optimization of PTO energy feedback and damping matching is emphasized to improve wind and wave power output; and in the high-frequency band, additional damping and local adjustments are used to suppress wave-induced vibration and local structural response. The control actions in each band achieve global collaborative adjustment of energy flow and structural response through the coordinated allocation of virtual stiffness and virtual damping parameters.

[0020] The corresponding optimization constraints include: relative displacement constraints. s i = J i -ω ; i Indicates PTO number index ( i =1,2,3, as in the third set i =3); s i Let be the axial relative displacement of the i-th PTO; be the Jacobian matrix determined by the installation point vector and the axial unit vector. ξ For the platform's six-DOF small configuration vector; Attitude angle constraints | H x |、| H y |、| H z |≤ H max ; H x Indicates platform bypass x The attitude angle of the axis; H y Indicates platform bypass y The attitude angle of the axis; H z Indicates platform bypass z The attitude angle of the axis; H max This indicates the maximum allowable attitude angle limit of the platform; And energy saturation constraints: ξ p ≤ Φ max , Φp The equivalent energy index of PTO; Φ max This indicates the maximum allowable energy output limit for PTO.

[0021] Through the aforementioned hierarchical adaptive collaborative control strategy, the system can form a closed-loop control mechanism of "self-sensing-self-adjustment-self-optimization", thereby significantly improving the energy capture efficiency and structural safety of the wind and wave energy combined device.

[0022] The system adopts a hierarchical control architecture. The execution layer generates a reference current for PTO based on the virtual stiffness and virtual damping allocated by the upper layer, thereby realizing energy feedback and virtual damping / stiffness injection, and thus completing the coordinated regulation of energy flow and structural response.

[0023] The execution layer generates a reference current based on the virtual stiffness and damping allocated by the upper layer: , Energy feedback and virtual damping / stiffness injection are achieved through a current closed loop.

[0024] in: i i * For execution layer reference current; k i v , c i v These represent virtual stiffness and virtual damping coefficients, respectively. i 0,i This is the bias current; s i , This represents relative displacement / velocity.

[0025] S6. Establishment of constraint feedback and protection mechanisms: Based on the multi-degree-of-freedom heterogeneous frequency wind and wave coupled dynamic model response in step S2, the PTO energy feedback characteristics in step S3, and the control output in step S5, a multi-level constraint feedback and protection mechanism is established to form a safety protection for the full-condition adaptive cooperative control strategy.

[0026] In the aforementioned constraint feedback and protection mechanism, relative displacement is introduced as a key constraint variable, which satisfies the following relationship: s i = J i Φ in: s i Let be the axial relative displacement of the i-th PTO. Ji The Jacobian matrix is ​​determined by the mounting point vector and the axial unit vector; ξ For the platform's six-DOF small configuration vector; Based on this, a protection state machine with hysteresis is set up: when the effective wave height... H s Exceeding the entry threshold H in Or the platform attitude angle amplitude |θ| exceeds the entry threshold. ξ in Or PTO current amplitude | i | Exceeding the entry threshold i in When any of the conditions in the above conditions are met, the system enters protection mode; when the system state... T safe Continuous time satisfies H s <H ou 、 |θ |< θ out And | i |< i out When this happens, the system smoothly exits protection mode; where: H s Significant wave height; θ This represents the amplitude of the platform's attitude angle. i The PTO current amplitude; H in , θ in , i in ) is the entry threshold; H out , θ out , i out () represents the exit threshold; T safe The shortest duration to meet continuous safety conditions.

[0027] To address the PTO (Push-to-Touch) travel limit problem, constraints are applied to the travel end region within the constraint feedback and protection mechanism, and a potential barrier function for the travel end region is introduced into the MPC (Multi-Process Control) optimization objective function. , in: θ The potential barrier function for the end region of the stroke; s i Let be the axial relative displacement of the i-th PTO set; s min , smax These represent the lower and upper limits of the safe operating stroke, respectively. This barrier function suppresses impacts at the stroke end and prevents the mechanism from overtraveling. When a sensor or PTO malfunction is detected, the system control strategy automatically degrades to passive power generation or passive damping mode to ensure the safe operation of the device under abnormal conditions.

By setting different weighting coefficients, a synergistic balance between maximizing energy gain and stability constraints is achieved, providing a unified objective for solving subsequent control parameters.

Full-condition adaptive cooperative control strategy To achieve full-band energy capture and stable system response of the wind and wave energy combined device under complex sea conditions, based on the multi-degree-of-freedom heterogeneous frequency wind and wave coupled dynamic model established in step S2 and the PTO energy feedback model in step S3, a full-condition adaptive cooperative control strategy based on model predictive control (MPC) is constructed.

[0055] The control strategy employs a time-domain rolling optimization algorithm based on model predictive control (MPC), acquiring the effective wave spectrum at each sampling time. Effective wind speed spectrum The linear transfer function (LTF) is used to predict external excitations in the future. Frequency domain weights are introduced into the optimization objective function to increase the penalty weights on the attitude response and structural load corresponding to the main wave frequency band, so as to suppress the response of this frequency band and improve the overall energy gain capability of the system.

[0056] In the process of the time-domain rolling optimization algorithm, the total stiffness matrix is ​​combined. K total ( ω ) and the total damping matrix C total ( ω The system solves for control variables online and explicitly sets operational constraints, including: PTO current and rate of change, strut stroke and velocity, platform attitude angle, tower base bending moment, and upper limit of mooring tension. Real-time solutions are obtained using quadratic programming or equivalent convex optimization algorithms; reinforcement learning algorithms are introduced when necessary to achieve adaptive parameter adjustment.

[0057] By introducing a constraint feedback and protection mechanism within the model-based predictive control framework, the system automatically switches to a damping enhancement mode when any constraint exceeds the limit. This mode suppresses platform amplitude and energy peak by increasing virtual damping, reducing equivalent stiffness, and limiting energy feedback intensity, thereby ensuring the structural safety of the system.

[0058] To ensure that the control optimization process is consistent with the inherent dynamic characteristics of the system, the unit's natural frequency constraint is introduced during the control parameter scheduling process. The unit's natural frequency is obtained by solving the following characteristic equation: det | K tot - ω 2 M |=0, Where: ω is the angular frequency of the natural vibration (rad / s); K tot The total stiffness matrix includes hydrostatic, mooring, and PTO equivalent stiffness terms; M is the overall mass-inertia matrix of the unit. Through the aforementioned natural frequency constraints, adverse resonances with key structural modes can be avoided during control parameter adjustments, ensuring structural safety.

[0059] Building upon the aforementioned model predictive control optimization and inherent frequency constraints of the unit, this invention further constructs a hierarchical collaborative control system for low-frequency, mid-frequency, and high-frequency bands. Specifically, in the low-frequency band, control of platform attitude and overall drift response is achieved primarily through adjusting equivalent stiffness and mooring system parameters; in the mid-frequency band, optimization of PTO energy feedback and damping matching is emphasized to improve wind and wave power output; and in the high-frequency band, additional damping and local adjustments are used to suppress wave-induced vibration and local structural response. The control actions in each band achieve global collaborative adjustment of energy flow and structural response through the coordinated allocation of virtual stiffness and virtual damping parameters.

[0061] Through the aforementioned hierarchical adaptive collaborative control strategy, the system can form a closed-loop control mechanism of "self-sensing-self-adjustment-self-optimization", thereby significantly improving the energy capture efficiency and structural safety of the wind and wave energy combined device.

[0062] The system adopts a hierarchical control architecture. The execution layer generates a reference current for PTO based on the virtual stiffness and virtual damping allocated by the upper layer, thereby realizing energy feedback and virtual damping / stiffness injection, and thus completing the coordinated regulation of energy flow and structural response.

[0063] The execution layer generates a reference current based on the virtual stiffness and damping allocated by the upper layer: , Energy feedback and virtual damping / stiffness injection are achieved through a current closed loop.

[0066] In the aforementioned constraint feedback and protection mechanism, relative displacement is introduced as a key constraint variable, which satisfies the following relationship: s i = J i ξ in: s i Let be the axial relative displacement of the i-th PTO. J i The Jacobian matrix is ​​determined by the mounting point vector and the axial unit vector; ξ For the platform's six-DOF small configuration vector; Based on this, a protection state machine with hysteresis is set up: when the effective wave height... H s Exceeding the entry threshold H in Or platform attitude angle amplitude | θ | Exceeding the entry threshold θ in Or PTO current amplitude | i | Exceeding the entry threshold i in When any of the conditions in the above conditions are met, the system enters protection mode; when the system state... T safe Continuous time satisfies H s <H ou 、 |θ |< θ out And | i |< i out When this happens, the system smoothly exits protection mode; where: H s Significant wave height; θ This represents the amplitude of the platform's attitude angle. i The PTO current amplitude; H in , θ in , i in ) is the entry threshold; H out , θ out , i out () represents the exit threshold; T safe The shortest duration to meet continuous safety conditions.

[0067] To address the PTO (Push-to-Touch) travel limit problem, constraints are applied to the travel end region within the constraint feedback and protection mechanism, and a potential barrier function for the travel end region is introduced into the MPC (Multi-Process Control) optimization objective function. , in: Φ The potential barrier function for the end region of the stroke; s i Let be the axial relative displacement of the i-th PTO set; s min , s max These represent the lower and upper limits of the safe operating stroke, respectively. This barrier function suppresses impacts at the stroke end and prevents the mechanism from overtraveling. When a sensor or PTO malfunction is detected, the system control strategy automatically degrades to passive power generation or passive damping mode to ensure the safe operation of the device under abnormal conditions.

[0069] The typical regular wave condition in the North Sea was selected: H = 2.5 m, period T = 6.5 s, and angular frequency. ω =2π / T.

Calculate the effective wave spectrum Then by spectral moments Obtain meaningful wave height Furthermore, this effective wave spectrum is used as the frequency domain energy input boundary of the control and dynamics model.

[0072] The BEMIO tool converts the AQWA output to a WEC-Sim readable *.h5 format, maintaining consistency between the frequency domain and time domain models.

[0073] A coupled model of a 6DOF platform and three sets of PTO axial degrees of freedom was built in WEC-Sim / Simulink. The geometric mapping relationship between the PTO stroke and the platform and suspension configuration was realized through the Jacobian matrix.

[0074] The equivalent stiffness and damping of the platform for the three sets of PTOs were calculated using formulas:

[0075] The system motion is described using generalized dynamic equations:

[0076] After linearization and discretization, the state equations are obtained: , Calculate the axial force of PTO: , And calculate the reference current: , Then, spectrum-weighted multi-objective MPC control is performed. MPC objective function:

[0077] Constraints include current amplitude, rate of change, stroke, speed, attitude angle, tower base bending moment, and mooring tension.

[0078] Constraint implementation includes barrier functions and hysteresis protection state mechanisms: , when H s >H in or | θ |> θ in or | i |> i in It will enter protection mode at that time.

[0079] (U)RANS calculations were performed using STAR-CCM+, and after calibration of the viscosity correction, the generalized force was written back to correct the system response.

[0080] Then, the PTO power is calculated:

[0081] Then, the time history, mean, and peak values ​​of the platform's sway, heave, pitch, and mooring tension are statistically analyzed and output.

[0082] The following results were obtained at H=2.5 m and T=6.5 s: The average pitch decreased by approximately 20.53%, the average heave decreased by approximately 8.3%, the average sway decreased by approximately 1.1%, the average mooring tension decreased by approximately 10.2%, the extreme value of PTO power was approximately 233111.18W, and the average value was approximately 115197.39W.
