Abstract

Aiming at large amplitude vibration problems of offshore wind turbine structures under extreme wind loads being not conducive to safety, the feasibility of applying eddy current-tuned mass damper (EC-TMD) to reduce vibration of an offshore wind turbine tube infrastructure was studied in two ways of theoretical derivation and engineering application. Firstly, eddy current damping of horizontal and pendulum type EC-TMDs was equivalently substituted with conventional damper in numerical simulation based on the vibration reduction principle of eddy current damper (ECD). Secondly, structural damping ratio and frequency ratio of EC-TMD were optimized with Warburton formula. Finally, EC-TMD was used in the actual engineering simulation for a certain offshore wind turbine tube infrastructure located at Xiangshui of Jiangsu province. Results showed that under extreme wind loads condition, EC-TMD can be used to reduce 21%-33% vibration displacement amplitude at the tower tube top; EC-TMD is very valuable for vibration reduction of offshore wind turbine structures.
