Coupled Dynamic Response Analysis of A Multi-Column Tension-Leg-Type Floating Wind Turbine

This paper presents a coupled dynamic response analysis of a multi-column tension-leg-type floating wind turbine (WindStar TLP system) under normal operation and parked conditions. Wind-only load cases, wave-only load cases and combined wind and wave load cases were analyzed separately for the WindStar TLP system to identify the dominant excitation loads. Comparisons between an NREL offshore 5-MW baseline wind turbine installed on land and the WindStar TLP system were performed. Statistics of selected response variables in specified design load cases (DLCs) were obtained and analyzed. It is found that the proposed WindStar TLP system has small dynamic responses to environmental loads and it thus has almost the same mean generator power output under operating conditions as the land-based system. The tension mooring system has a sufficient safety factor, and the minimum tendon tension is always positive in all selected DLCs. The ratio of ultimate load of the tower base fore-aft bending moment for the WindStar TLP system versus the land-based system can be as high as 1.9 in all of the DLCs considered. These results will help elucidate the dynamic characteristics of the proposed WindStar TLP system, identify the difference in load effect between it and land-based systems, and thus make relevant modifications to the initial design for the WindStar TLP system.

Numerical Investigation on Dynamics of the Tendon System of A TLP by Applying Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation

In the present study, the dynamics of the tendon system of a tension-leg platform(TLP) is investigated through the absolute nodal coordinate formulation(ANCF). Based on the energy conversion principle, the stiffness, generalized elastic force, external load and mass matrices of the element are deduced to perform the element assembling by using the finite element method. Then the motion equation of the tendon/riser is established. In this study, the TLP in the International Ship Structures Committee(ISSC) model under the first and second wave forces is considered as the case study. The simulation is performed in the MATLAB environment. Moreover, the accuracy and reliability of the programs are verified for cases of beam model with theoretical solutions. It is found that the motion response of tendons is affected by the TLP movement and environmental load, simultaneously. Then, the motion response is calculated using the SESAM software and exported as the boundary of ANCF tendons. Finally, the static and dynamic characteristics of the four tendons of ISSC TLP are analyzed systematically by the ANCF method.Performed analysis proves the effectiveness and feasibility of the ANCF method. It is concluded that the proposed method is a powerful scheme for calculating the dynamics of tendon/riser in the field of ocean engineering.     

Response behaviour of triangular tension leg platforms under impact loading

Excellent station keeping characteristics and relative insensitivity with increasing water depth make triangular tension leg platforms (TLPs) a proven concept in deep water oil exploration. TLPs are often subjected to less probable forces which arise due to collision of ships, icebergs or any other huge sea creature. Dynamic analysis of two triangular TLP models at water depths 1200 and 527.8 m is performed under regular waves along with impulse load acting at an angle of 45 degrees at the TLP column. Hydrodynamic forces on these TLPs are evaluated using modified Morison equation, based on water particle kinematics arrived at using Stokes’ fifth order wave theory. Based on numerical studies conducted, it is seen that impulse loading acting on corner column of TLP significantly affect its response while that acting on pontoons dose not affect TLPs behaviour.
