Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of deep-sea renewable energy development, specifically to a wind-wave-fishing high-stability integrated system. Background Technology

[0002] The development of deep-sea resources currently faces numerous technical bottlenecks. While floating wind turbines have achieved commercial application, the combined effects of wind and waves significantly increase the multi-degree-of-freedom motion response of the platform, leading to reduced power generation efficiency. Traditional control strategies primarily target heave suppression, offering limited effectiveness in controlling roll and pitch. Structural vibrations induced by second-order wave forces in severe sea conditions exacerbate aerodynamic load fluctuations on the blades, shortening equipment lifespan and increasing failure rates. Wave energy devices suffer from inherent defects; oscillating floating structures are prone to resonance in extreme sea conditions, and their weak adaptive adjustment capabilities result in insufficient survivability. Furthermore, existing energy recovery systems are mostly unidirectional absorption modes, with actual conversion efficiencies less than 30% of theoretical values. Deep-sea aquaculture equipment also faces challenges. Traditional net cages have poor wind and wave resistance, easily deforming and damaging under wave impact. Their energy supply and maintenance are highly dependent on shore-based support, with offshore maintenance costs accounting for over 20% of the total life-cycle cost. The operational window limitations caused by severe sea conditions further restrict large-scale application.

[0003] Existing integration technologies struggle to overcome systemic coordination barriers: wind-wave integrated systems often focus on optimizing a single degree of freedom (such as heave suppression), offering minimal improvement in roll and pitch stability; wind-fishing or wave-fishing combined solutions fail to address load coordination and energy sharing issues, such as fishing vessel stability control that only regulates roll while neglecting heave, and the conflict between net cage layout and wind turbine arrays remaining unresolved. More critically, the redundant construction of independent systems results in infrastructure costs such as dynamic cables and mooring systems accounting for over 70%, and the inability to share operation and maintenance resources creates a cascading effect. Although the "offshore wind power + marine ranching" model has been proposed, in practical applications, insufficient standardization of modular construction and intelligent control technologies further hinders large-scale promotion.

[0004] Therefore, single-system optimization cannot achieve efficient mutual reinforcement of wind turbine kinetic energy and wave energy, fails to establish a load coordination mechanism between aquaculture equipment and wind and wave facilities, and does not form a closed-loop sharing of operation and maintenance resources and energy supply. There is an urgent need to develop a highly stable integrated system that complements wind, wave, and fishery energy, and to solve system-level coupling defects through cross-domain collaborative design. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a wind-wave-fishing high stability integrated system that can further reduce swaying and rolling of floating wind turbine platforms while realizing deep-sea marine aquaculture.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A highly stable integrated system for wind, waves, and fishing includes a floating wind turbine platform, a helical wave energy power generation device, and a marine fishing net; The helical wave energy generation device is installed at the center of the pontoon of the floating wind turbine platform. The helical wave energy generation device captures energy by utilizing the vertical oscillation motion of the floating wind turbine platform under the action of waves and converts it into electrical energy; the marine fishing net is fixed to the base of the floating wind turbine platform.

[0007] Furthermore, the marine fishing net is divided into upper and lower layers. The lower layer of the net can be expanded or contracted according to the wave period T under the drive mechanism. The optimal depth for the marine fishing net to be expanded is determined by the specific wave pattern. z opt as follows:

[0008]

[0009]

[0010]

[0011] in, z opt This is the optimal depth for deploying the fishing net. It is the wave wavelength. ω The wave angular frequency, ω n The system's inherent frequency, For the system damping ratio, K eq The equivalent stiffness of the fishing net. m eq For the equivalent mass of the fishing net K 1 represents the wave attenuation coefficient, ranging from 0.2 to 0.5. K 2 represents the mass-damping compensation coefficient, taken as 0.2. Г(C d ,C m ) C is the shape enhancement factor, obtained from CFD simulation. d C is the drag coefficient. m As an additional quality coefficient, C d0 C m0 The baseline value for the shape enhancement factor; weighting coefficients. K 3 = 0.7, K 4 = 0.3; the length of the upper fishing net should not exceed z opt The lower limit value.

[0012] Furthermore, when the fishing net is a triangular prism-shaped fishing net,C d = 1.8, C m = 2.0; When the fishing net is cylindrical, C d = 1.0, C m = 1.0.

[0013] Furthermore, the marine fishing net is made of copper mesh.

[0014] Furthermore, the marine fishing net is a synthetic fiber fishing net with an elliptical cross-section and a major axis to minor axis ratio of 4:1.

[0015] Furthermore, the floating wind turbine platform includes blades, a hub, a central column, a triangular semi-submersible platform, pontoons, a base, and a connecting cylinder; the blades are fixed to the central column via the hub, the central column is installed on the triangular semi-submersible platform, the pontoons inside the triangular semi-submersible platform are connected by horizontal and diagonal braces, and each pontoon is equipped with a base below it; each pontoon has a mooring point on its side, which is connected to an anchor chain and an anchor block respectively.

[0016] Furthermore, the marine fishing net is a triangular prism-shaped fishing net, with both the upper and lower layers of the net consisting of three rectangular mesh panels, and the top of the upper layer net being closed by a triangular mesh panel; the driving mechanism includes a servo motor, a ball screw, a nut, a linear guide rail, and a slider; The upper fishing net panel is equipped with a linear guide rail. The slider slides along the linear guide rail and is fixedly connected to the upper part of the lower fishing net. The servo motor drives the ball screw to rotate, which in turn moves the nut fixed on the slider.

[0017] Beneficial effects: 1. The present invention installs marine fishing nets below the floating wind turbine platform. While conducting deep-sea marine aquaculture, it can extend the inherent period of the deep-water floating platform, thereby reducing the effect of waves on the floating wind turbine platform, further reducing swaying and rolling, and improving the stability of the floating platform in all degrees of freedom.

[0018] 2. The lower layer of the fishing net of the present invention can be expanded or contracted according to the wave period T under the drive mechanism, thereby optimizing the interaction between the net and the water flow and reducing the deformation of the fishing net caused by eddies.

[0019] 3. The marine fishing net of this invention uses copper mesh. Copper ions have a natural biocidal effect, which can effectively inhibit the attachment and growth of marine organisms such as algae, barnacles, and shellfish (such as oysters and mussels) on the net, keeping the net clean. Moreover, the high density of the copper mesh means that, for the same volume, the copper mesh can provide greater mass, which helps to resist the rapid swaying of the platform with the waves. The high density can provide a greater added mass effect and hydrodynamic damping (through viscosity effect and vortex shedding), and more effectively dissipate the energy of heave motion. At the same time, the use of copper mesh has higher strength and corrosion resistance.

[0020] 4. The netting of this invention adopts an elliptical cross-section with a major axis to minor axis ratio of 4:1, which can significantly reduce pressure drag (shape drag) and significantly reduce the total thrust of water flow on the fishing net and platform. At the same time, the streamlined design delays boundary layer separation, narrows the frequency range of vortex shedding and weakens the intensity, which can reduce the vibration amplitude by more than 90%, greatly extend fatigue life, and suppress vortex-induced vibration.

[0021] 5. The integrated system of this invention combines three elements into one, enabling the sharing of infrastructure such as power grids and mooring, which can effectively reduce costs and also share operation and maintenance, thereby achieving the goal of increasing efficiency while reducing costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] This invention provides a highly stable integrated system for wind, waves, and fishing, such as... Figure 1As shown, it includes a floating wind turbine platform 1, a helical wave energy power generation device, and a marine fishing net 3.

[0030] A helical wave energy generator is installed at the center of the buoys 1-2 of the floating wind turbine platform 1. This generator captures energy by utilizing the vertical oscillating motion of the floating wind turbine platform 1 under the influence of waves and converts it into electrical energy. A marine fishing net 3 is fixed to the base of the floating wind turbine platform 1. Installing the marine fishing net 3 below the floating wind turbine platform 1 further increases wave resistance, thereby achieving wave resistance and roll reduction for the floating wind turbine platform 1.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the floating wind turbine platform 1 includes blades 1-1, a hub, a central column, a triangular semi-submersible platform, pontoons 1-2, a base, and a connecting cylinder; the blades 1-1 are fixed to the central column via the hub, the central column is installed on the triangular semi-submersible platform, the pontoons 1-2 inside the triangular semi-submersible platform are connected by horizontal and diagonal braces, and each pontoon 1-2 is equipped with a base below it; each pontoon 1-2 has a mooring point on its side, which is connected to an anchor chain and an anchor block respectively.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the heave-type wave energy device 2 includes a shell 2-1, limiters 2-3, springs 2-2, counterweights 2-4, sliding rods 2-7, magnets, a mover 2-6, and a stator 2-5. The top of the counterweight 2-4 is connected to the interior of the shell 2-1 via the spring 2-2. Limiters 2-3 are installed at both ends of the sliding rod 2-7, and the counterweight 2-4 is mounted on the sliding rod 2-7. A coil is wound around the mover 2-6, and the damping of the mover 2-6 can be changed by altering the coil current. The system consisting of the mover 2-6 and the stator 2-5 can simulate a PTO (Power Toll Collection) system. Installing the heave-type wave energy device 2 inside the wind turbine platform float 1-2 reduces the platform's heave motion while achieving combined wind and wave power generation, thus improving the overall power generation efficiency of the system.

[0033] The heave-type wave energy device 2 captures energy by moving up and down with the waves through the floating wind turbine platform 1. The floating wind turbine platform 1 generates heave motion under the excitation force of the waves, and the PTO system converts this motion into usable electrical energy. That is, the counterweight 2-4 carries the mover 2-6 and the magnet located on the mover 2-6 to make heave motion on the sliding rod 2-7, and the stator 2-5 continuously cuts the magnetic field lines to generate electrical energy.

[0034] As an improvement, the marine fishing net 3 is a double-layered net, consisting of upper and lower layers. The upper layer is fixed to the platform base 1-3 via screw holes 3-2. The lower layer can be extended or retracted according to the wave cycle T under the drive mechanism. The optimal extension depth of the marine fishing net 3 is determined by the specific design of the net. z opt (The total length of the upper and lower layers of fishing nets, with the length of the upper layer not exceeding)z opt The lower limit values ​​are as follows:

[0035]

[0036]

[0037]

[0038] in, z opt This is the optimal depth for deploying the fishing net. It is the wave wavelength. ω The wave angular frequency, ω n The system's inherent frequency, For the system damping ratio, K eq The equivalent stiffness of the fishing net. m eq For the equivalent mass of the fishing net K 1 represents the wave attenuation coefficient, ranging from 0.2 to 0.5. K 2 represents the mass-damping compensation coefficient, taken as 0.2. Г(C d ,C m ) C is the shape enhancement factor, obtained from CFD simulation. d C is the drag coefficient. m As an additional quality coefficient, C d0 C m0 The baseline value for the shape enhancement factor; weighting coefficients. K 3 = 0.7, K 4 = 0.3.

[0039] When the fishing net is a triangular prism shape C d = 1.8, C m = 2.0; When the fishing net is cylindrical, C d = 1.0, C m = 1.0. When the fishing net is a spherical net, C d = 0.5, C m= 0.5. Of course, this solution will not use spherical fishing nets, but the shape enhancement factors corresponding to the above three fishing net shapes can be used as a reference to set the shape enhancement factors of other fishing net shapes.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the marine fishing net 3 is a triangular prism-shaped fishing net. Both the upper and lower layers of the fishing net are composed of three rectangular mesh panels 3-1, with the top of the upper layer closed by a triangular mesh panel. The driving mechanism includes a servo motor, a ball screw, a nut, a linear guide rail 4, and a slider 5. Linear guide rails 4 are provided on the frame of the upper layer mesh panel 3-1 (either inside or outside the frame), such as... Figure 5 As shown, the slider 5 slides along the linear guide rail 4 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lower fishing net. The servo motor drives the ball screw to rotate, which in turn moves the nut fixed on the slider 5, thereby causing the lower fishing net to expand or contract.

[0041] In other embodiments, the upper or lower fishing net may also be an integral structure.

[0042] Marine fishing nets 3 can be made of copper mesh. Biofouling significantly increases the weight of the net, water flow resistance (hydrodynamic load), and alters its hydrodynamic characteristics (such as damping coefficient). Copper ions have a natural biocidal effect, effectively inhibiting the attachment and growth of marine organisms such as algae, barnacles, and shellfish (such as oysters and mussels) on the net, maintaining the cleanliness of the net. Moreover, copper mesh has a higher density, which means that for the same volume, copper mesh can provide greater mass, helping to resist the rapid swaying of the platform with waves. High density can provide a greater added mass effect and hydrodynamic damping (through viscosity effect and vortex shedding), more effectively dissipating the energy of heave motion. At the same time, using copper mesh means higher strength and corrosion resistance.

[0043] In other embodiments, the marine fishing net 3 is a synthetic fiber fishing net with an elliptical cross-section and a major-to-minor axis ratio of 4:1. This significantly reduces pressure drag (form drag) and substantially reduces the total thrust of the water flow on the fishing net and platform. Simultaneously, the streamlined design delays boundary layer separation, narrowing the vortex shedding frequency range and weakening its intensity, reducing vibration amplitude by over 90%, greatly extending fatigue life, and suppressing vortex-induced vibration.

[0044] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When wind and waves impact the integrated system, the wind drives the blades 1-1 to rotate around the hub, thereby converting wind energy into kinetic energy. Simultaneously, the heave-type wave energy device 2 inside the float 1-2, under the action of wave undulations, causes the counterweight 2-4 to move the mover 2-6 up and down on the sliding rod 2-7, and the stator 2-5 cuts magnetic field lines to generate electrical energy. Under the action of waves, the floating platform will generate huge heave and pitch motions. The current of the coil wound on the mover 2-6 can be preset according to the actual sea conditions, thereby adjusting the damping magnitude of the PTO system composed of the mover 2-6 and the stator 2-5, generating a counterforce to suppress the heave motion of the platform. At the same time, the marine fishing net 3 can further increase the wave resistance below the platform base 1-3 of the floating wind turbine platform 1, adding a viscous damper to the platform, increasing the stability of the platform in various degrees of freedom, and realizing the platform's anti-wave and anti-rolling properties.

[0045] In summary, the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
