Abstract

With the growth of the global demand for renewable energy, various types of semi-submersible floating wind turbines have been emerging, and the impact of the marine environment on their dynamic responses has also attracted wide attention.The generation of rogue waves was investigated and rogue waves aligning with actual sea conditions were simulated.Based on this, the analysis focused on the platform dynamic responses of a novel semi-submersible wind turbine, considering the coupling between the floating wind power devices and aquaculture nets, under the influences of rogue waves, such as the longitudinal sway, lateral sway, pitch, and acceleration.Additionally, the dynamic responses of the wind turbine components, such as cabin acceleration, tower top load, and output power, as well as the dynamic responses of the mooring anchor chain (effective tension), were examined.The research findings indicate that rogue waves have a negligible impact on the average values of various response parameters but significantly affect their extreme values and standard deviations.Specifically, the influence of rogue waves causes the longitudinal sway response of the semi-submersible platform to exhibit impulsive characteristics, which has critical implications on the output power and stable operation of the wind turbine.During the occurrence of rogue waves, a significant dip in output power is observed.Moreover, the effective tension of the anchor chain also displays impulsive responses, and due to the catenary effect, the rate of increase in tension under the influence of rogue waves is found to be less than the rate of decrease in tension.Based on this research, the complex effects of rogue waves on the semi-submersible wind turbine system have been revealed.In addition, it provides valuable reference data for future studies in related fields.
