Abstract
- Offshore wind energy resources far exceed those on land. However, the increase in water depth of the continental shelf in China's sea area slows down as the distance from the shore increases. In view of the characteristics of China's sea, how to optimize the design of mooring systems to adapt to the water depth conditions in China's waters and to resist the harsh sea conditions is one of the major problems encountered in the development of floating wind turbines. In this paper, the 5MW-OC4 semi-submersible floating wind turbine is taken as the research object, and the frequency domain and time domain calculation of the floating wind turbine are carried out by using SESAM software under the water depth of 40 m in the Bohai Sea. By comparing the motion response and tension of catenary and tension mooring floating wind turbine. The mooring system is optimized by combining the buoy and clump weight. The results show that the catenary mooring mode is more suitable for the floating wind turbine under shallow water conditions. Mooring accessories used in combination have the same effect on the overall response of the floating wind turbine as changing the same mooring parameters when used alone, but the effect of changing the mooring parameters on the performance optimization of the mooring system is more obvious when used in combination, and a reasonable combination of accessories can significantly change the overall characteristics of the floating system and affect the safety and cost of the system.
