This invention discloses a semi-active vibration suppression device and its control method for
hybrid-
tower wind turbines, belonging to the field of wind
turbine vibration control technology. The device includes a main frame,
pulley system, water tank, spring,
magnetorheological damper, and intelligent controller. The
pulley system enables bidirectional sliding between the frames, allowing the water tank to move freely in the horizontal plane. The water tank contains
antifreeze and vibration-damping fluid, forming a
tuned liquid damper. The spring and
magnetorheological damper are connected parallel to each other to the frame. The control method employs a strategy combining an offline sample
database and online PID fine-tuning: offline, a
genetic algorithm is used to optimize PID parameters under different operating conditions to build a
database; online, the current operating condition is identified to match initial parameters, and a fine-tuning
genetic algorithm is used to optimize the PID parameters in real time, adjusting the damping force of the
magnetorheological damper. This invention integrates the semi-active adjustment capability of the magnetorheological
damper with the passive
vibration absorption advantage of the
tuned liquid damper, achieving multi-frequency vibration suppression. It features a compact structure, fast response, and strong adaptability, effectively extending the unit's lifespan and reducing operation and maintenance costs.
