Abstract

The dynamics and vibration control of offshore wind turbines (OWTs) under wind, wave, and earthquake loads is an important but understudied topic, especially for fully coupled seismic analysis considering pile foundation flexibility of OWTs. In this work, we study the effect of multiple passive tuned mass dampers (MTMD) on a monopile OWT by using the fully coupled seismic analysis method. A combined shutdown procedures and MTMD vibration control strategy is proposed for the OWT. First, a state-of-the-art aeroelastic tool, FAST, is extended with a seismic load calculation module, and the numerically modeled monopile OWT addresses the effect of pile-soil interaction (PSI) by establishing ElasPile module in the updated FAST. Then, the focus is placed on the normal operation and emergency shutdown status of OWTs under the combined earthquakes, wind and wave conditions, and structural and motion responses are analyzed under various combination conditions through time-domain simulations, the dynamic characteristics of the OWT during realistic seismic events are shown. Sequentially, based on the proposed MTMD, the vibration migitation effects are evident for the operation OWT and the OWT with shutdown strategies during the combined loading conditions. The reduction in the extreme responses can be as high as 10.53% and 55.02% for the bending moment at the mudline in different OWT conditions, respectively. Therefore, the combined shutdown procedures and MTMD vibration control strategy of OWT is an effective vibration reduction method. Additionally, it is found that PSI has a significant impact on the dynamic characteristics and vibration control effects of OWT structures under wind, wave, and earthquake loads, and the coupled spring boundary condition on the basis of developed ElasPile module is recommended for seismic control analysis of OWT using the combined shutdown procedures and MTMD vibration control strategy.
