Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of offshore floating photovoltaic system analysis technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus and equipment for analyzing the out-of-plane motion of a thin-film floating photovoltaic platform. Background Technology

[0002] With the transformation of the global energy structure and the proposal of "dual carbon targets," offshore photovoltaic (PV) power generation, as an important component of clean and renewable energy, is becoming a new direction for marine energy development. Traditional land-based PV systems are limited by land resources in coastal and densely populated areas, while offshore floating PV platforms can make full use of ocean space and natural cooling effects, improving power generation efficiency and reducing maintenance costs. Currently, most floating PV platforms widely used in engineering are raft structures. These rigid or semi-rigid systems are suitable for calm waters, but in open seas, they are prone to excessive structural stress and mooring loads under the combined effects of waves and wind, making it difficult to meet the stability requirements for long-term service.

[0003] In recent years, thin-film floating photovoltaic platforms, composed of a float and a thin film, have gradually become a research hotspot. Characterized by high flexibility, low freeboard, and lightweight materials, they can undergo out-of-plane deformation in response to wave undulations, effectively reducing wave-added mass and environmental loads, making them a potential solution for adapting to mid-to-far-sea environments. However, since the main load-bearing structure of this photovoltaic platform is a flexible thin film, its out-of-plane motion exhibits strong fluid-structure interaction and nonlinear characteristics, making it difficult for existing methods to accurately describe the out-of-plane motion response of this photovoltaic platform. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a method, apparatus, and device for analyzing the out-of-plane motion of a thin-film floating photovoltaic platform, which can accurately describe the out-of-plane motion response of the photovoltaic platform.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for analyzing the out-of-plane motion of a thin-film floating photovoltaic platform, including:

[0006] The dynamic equations for the out-of-plane motion of the thin film and the floating ring in the photovoltaic platform are determined respectively, and the displacement equations for the out-of-plane motion of the thin film and the floating ring are determined respectively based on the modal superposition method;

[0007] Based on the dynamic equations of the out-of-plane motion of the thin film and the floating ring, and the displacement equation, the overall dynamic equations of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform are constructed.

[0008] The frequency domain wave load of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform is determined, and the frequency domain wave load is converted into the time domain wave load of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform.

[0009] Determine the time-domain mooring force in the vertical direction of each mooring cable constraining the photovoltaic platform, and determine the vertical component of the reaction force at the mooring point connecting the mooring cable and the photovoltaic platform based on the time-domain mooring force;

[0010] A compatibility matrix is ​​constructed based on the displacement equations of the out-of-plane motion of the thin film and the floating ring. The Lagrange multiplier method is used to construct the coupled dynamic equations of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform based on the overall dynamic equations, the time-domain wave load, the vertical component, and the compatibility matrix. The coupled dynamic equations are then solved in the time domain to obtain the time-domain response of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform.

[0011] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an out-of-plane motion analysis device for a thin-film floating photovoltaic platform, comprising:

[0012] The first processing module is used to determine the dynamic equations of the out-of-plane motion of the thin film and the floating ring in the photovoltaic platform, and to determine the displacement equations of the out-of-plane motion of the thin film and the floating ring based on the modal superposition method.

[0013] The second processing module is used to construct the overall dynamic equation of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform based on the dynamic equation of the out-of-plane motion of the thin film and the floating ring and the displacement equation;

[0014] The third processing module is used to determine the frequency domain wave load of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform and convert the frequency domain wave load into the time domain wave load of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform.

[0015] The fourth processing module is used to determine the time-domain mooring force in the vertical direction of each mooring cable constraining the photovoltaic platform, and to determine the vertical component of the reaction force at the mooring point where the mooring cable connects to the photovoltaic platform based on the time-domain mooring force.

[0016] The fifth processing module is used to construct a compatibility matrix based on the displacement equations of the out-of-plane motion of the thin film and the floating ring, and to construct the coupled dynamic equations of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform based on the overall dynamic equations, the time-domain wave load, the vertical component, and the compatibility matrix using the Lagrange multiplier method, and to solve the coupled dynamic equations in the time domain to obtain the time-domain response of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform.

[0017] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and when the processor executes the computer program, it implements the method provided in embodiments of this application.

[0018] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer-readable storage medium, characterized in that it stores a computer program thereon, which, when executed in a computer, causes the computer to perform the method provided in embodiments of this application.

[0019] The technical solution provided in this application determines the time-domain mooring force in the vertical direction of each mooring cable, and uses this time-domain mooring force to determine the vertical component of the reaction force at the mooring point connecting the mooring cable and the photovoltaic platform. A compatibility matrix is ​​constructed using the displacement equations of the out-of-plane motion of the thin film and the float. Based on this vertical component and the compatibility matrix, a coupled dynamic equation for the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform is constructed, and this coupled dynamic equation is solved to obtain the time-domain response of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform. In other words, the time-domain mooring force in the vertical direction of the mooring cable is used as an influencing factor for the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform. Compared to the prior art where the mooring cable is simplified to a static spring or catenary and only the horizontal mooring force is considered, this approach achieves true dynamic coordination between the photovoltaic platform and the mooring system, and can accurately describe the out-of-plane motion response of the photovoltaic platform. This application embodiment uses the modal superposition method to determine the displacement equations of the out-of-plane motion of the thin film and the float, and constructs the photovoltaic platform's out-of-plane response using these displacement equations and the dynamic equations of the out-of-plane motion of the thin film and the float. The overall dynamic equation of the out-of-plane motion can transform the dynamic equation of the out-of-plane motion of the membrane and the float into a finite-dimensional modal coordinate form, realizing the representation in the time domain. The vertical component of the reaction force at the mooring point is determined by the time-domain mooring force in the vertical direction of each mooring cable, which is also a representation in the time domain. Since the compatibility matrix is ​​determined by the displacement equation determined by the modal iteration method, the compatibility matrix is ​​also a representation in the time domain. By constructing the coupled dynamic equation of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform using the time-domain wave load, the vertical component, the compatibility matrix, and the overall dynamic equation of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform, the time-domain solution can be realized to obtain the time-domain response of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform, which can reflect the instantaneous deformation and nonlinear behavior of the photovoltaic platform under the combined action of waves, the mooring system, etc. In the embodiment of this application, the coupling effect of the membrane, the float and the mooring system is considered when constructing the coupled dynamic equation, so as to accurately reflect the out-of-plane motion response of the photovoltaic platform under complex sea conditions.

Treating the float as a curved beam not only preserves its circumferential geometric characteristics and bending stiffness distribution but also conveniently describes its out-of-plane dynamic characteristics. Therefore, the out-of-plane motion of the float can be considered as the bending vibration of a curved beam, and the displacement equation for the out-of-plane motion of the float, determined by the modal superposition method, can be:

The method for concatenating the overall dynamic equations can refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 2 The specific forms of each matrix in the overall dynamic equation are reflected in this. Therefore, in this embodiment, the thin film and the floating ring are taken as the main components of the photovoltaic platform, and the study mainly focuses on the thin film and the floating ring in the photovoltaic platform. Therefore, the overall dynamic equation of the thin film and the floating ring is taken as the overall dynamic equation of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform, wherein the overall dynamic equation is specifically as follows:

It can be understood as generalized mooring force; mooring parameters are used to describe the mooring cable itself and its arrangement characteristics, including but not limited to the initial length, linear density, axial stiffness, diameter, hydrodynamic resistance coefficient, end connection position and anchoring method of the mooring cable; based on generalized hydrodynamics, generalized mooring force, the aforementioned overall modal stiffness matrix and overall modal mass matrix, input the coupled dynamic equation of the photovoltaic platform out-of-plane motion based on generalized displacement, i.e., formula (20), thereby calculating the generalized displacement of the photovoltaic platform out-of-plane motion, which can be understood as modal amplitude; calculate the displacement of the float and the film out-of-plane motion based on the above formula (3) and formula (4) through generalized displacement, and differentiate to obtain the velocity of the float and the film at time t; and determine the coordinates of the mooring point at time t through generalized displacement and based on the preset coordinate system; determine whether the time has ended, if yes, end the process, if no, at the next time t+1, return to the steps of calculating generalized hydrodynamics, generalized mooring force, etc., until the process ends.

[0099] The technical solution provided in this application determines the time-domain mooring force in the vertical direction of each mooring cable, and uses this time-domain mooring force to determine the vertical component of the reaction force at the mooring point connecting the mooring cable and the photovoltaic platform. A compatibility matrix is ​​constructed using the displacement equations of the out-of-plane motion of the thin film and the float. Based on this vertical component and the compatibility matrix, a coupled dynamic equation for the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform is constructed, and this coupled dynamic equation is solved to obtain the time-domain response of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform. In other words, the time-domain mooring force in the vertical direction of the mooring cable is used as an influencing factor for the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform. Compared to the prior art where the mooring cable is simplified to a static spring or catenary and only the horizontal mooring force is considered, this approach achieves true dynamic coordination between the photovoltaic platform and the mooring system, and can accurately describe the out-of-plane motion response of the photovoltaic platform. This application embodiment uses the modal superposition method to determine the displacement equations of the out-of-plane motion of the thin film and the float, and constructs the photovoltaic platform's out-of-plane response using these displacement equations and the dynamic equations of the out-of-plane motion of the thin film and the float. The overall dynamic equation of the out-of-plane motion can transform the dynamic equation of the out-of-plane motion of the membrane and the float into a finite-dimensional modal coordinate form, realizing the representation in the time domain. The vertical component of the reaction force at the mooring point is determined by the time-domain mooring force in the vertical direction of each mooring cable, which is also a representation in the time domain. Since the compatibility matrix is ​​determined by the displacement equation determined by the modal iteration method, the compatibility matrix is ​​also a representation in the time domain. By constructing the coupled dynamic equation of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform using the time-domain wave load, the vertical component, the compatibility matrix, and the overall dynamic equation of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform, the time-domain solution can be realized to obtain the time-domain response of the out-of-plane motion of the photovoltaic platform, which can reflect the instantaneous deformation and nonlinear behavior of the photovoltaic platform under the combined action of waves, the mooring system, etc. In the embodiment of this application, the coupling effect of the membrane, the float and the mooring system is considered when constructing the coupled dynamic equation, so as to accurately reflect the out-of-plane motion response of the photovoltaic platform under complex sea conditions.

[0100] The technical solutions provided in this application have clear technical feasibility and industrial application potential, and can be directly applied in multiple stages such as engineering design, performance evaluation and operation safety management.

[0101] The main load-bearing structure of the photovoltaic platform is a flexible thin film, whose out-of-plane motion exhibits strong fluid-structure interaction and nonlinear characteristics. Existing frequency-domain linear potential flow models and quasi-static analysis methods cannot accurately describe the transient response and nonlinear behavior under the combined action of waves. The technical solution provided in this application, by constructing a time-domain solution method, can reflect the instantaneous response and nonlinear behavior of the photovoltaic platform under the combined action of waves, mooring systems, etc. Since there is a significant structural coupling effect between the thin film and the float, neglecting the coupling conditions at the boundary (displacement continuity and force balance) will lead to deviations in the calculation of overall dynamic characteristics. This application, by introducing Lagrange multipliers, transforms the displacement constraints of the float and the thin film into coupled dynamic equations, thereby reflecting the boundary coupling conditions. This allows the bending stiffness of the float and the pretension of the thin film to work together in the out-of-plane motion response, achieving overall coordinated deformation.

[0102] The technical solution provided in this application combines the computational accuracy of linear potential flow theory with the nonlinear adaptability of the Morrison equation, enabling simultaneous calculation of key parameters such as wave, current velocity, and mooring tension changes in practical engineering. Compared with traditional frequency domain analysis or empirical calculation models, it offers significant improvements in peak prediction of out-of-plane motion response, energy transfer analysis, and load coupling simulation. The technical solution provided in this application can also stably solve the time-domain response problem of large-scale flexible structures, exhibiting good numerical stability and computational efficiency. Furthermore, the computational process employed in the technical solution provided in this application is highly modular, easily integrated with existing hydrodynamic analysis and structural design software interfaces, and can be applied to the design and safety assessment of various types of equipment, including flexible floating photovoltaic platforms, offshore thin-film structures, flexible fishery cages, and marine ranching platforms.

[0103] The technical solutions provided in this application can also be directly applied to the hydrodynamic performance evaluation and structural optimization design of thin-film floating photovoltaic platforms.
