Background
The concept of a floating offshore wind farm was first proposed in 1972. In the engineering community, it is generally believed that the economic cost and engineering practicality of floating wind turbines will outperform fixed-based offshore wind turbines when the water depth exceeds 60 meters. At present, the application of the floating type fan in offshore wind power is still in an exploration stage. However, the use of floating drilling platforms has been in use for decades in the offshore oil and gas industry. Successful experience in the offshore oil and gas industry not only indicates that long-term operation of floating wind turbines is technically feasible, but also provides a variety of alternative basic forms for the design of floating wind turbines.
The current mainstream floating type foundation types of offshore wind turbines mainly comprise single column types, semi-submerged types and tension leg types. These classic floating foundations inherited from offshore oil extraction technologies have been implemented on partially floating wind power projects. However, a number of research and project reports indicate that there are still many problems with these floating foundations in the field of offshore wind power development: the waterline surface of the single upright column type foundation contributes little to the stability, the damping is small when the rotation occurs, and the rolling and pitching motions are large; in addition, the larger main scale of the device has high requirements on water depth, and the difficulty of construction and installation of the device is also larger. The mooring system of the tension leg type foundation has high installation cost, shallow water depth, large influence of ocean current and tide on the pretension of the tension tendon, and easy resonance motion of the upper structure and the mooring system due to frequency coupling; the tension tendon is sensitive to environmental high-frequency load, the ringing phenomenon is easy to occur, and the tension tendon is easy to fatigue and has high risk. In contrast, the semi-submersible foundation has good stability and wide application water depth due to the larger waterplane area, but the construction cost is higher.
For offshore wind power development, it is a first requirement of floating foundation design to ensure the working conditions of the upper wind power generation set. In order to ensure stable power generation efficiency, the requirements on stability in design are more severe in the oil exploitation industry.
