Design Requirements

The design standard typically used for offshore wind system development, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61400-3 fixed-bottom offshore design standard, explicitly states that “the design requirements specified in this standard are not necessarily sufficient to ensure the engineering integrity of floating offshore wind turbines” [1]. One major concern is the prescribed simulation length time of 10 minutes for a loads-analysis procedure, which is also typically used for land-based turbines. Because floating platforms have lower natural frequencies, which lead to fewer load cycles over a given period of time, and ocean waves have lower characteristic frequencies than wind turbulence, the 10-min simulation length recommended by the current standards for land-based and offshore turbines may be too short for combined wind and wave loading of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). Therefore, the goal of this paper is to examine the appropriate length of a FOWT simulation — a fundamental question that needs to be answered to develop design requirements. To examine this issue, we performed a loads analysis of an example FOWT with varying simulation lengths, using FAST, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s) nonlinear aero-hydro-servo-elastic simulation tool. The offshore wind system used was the OC3-Hywind spar buoy, which was developed for use in the International Energy Agency (IEA) Offshore Code Comparison Collaborative (OC3) project, and supports NREL’s offshore 5-MW baseline turbine. Realistic metocean data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and repeated periodic wind files were used to excite the structure. The results of the analysis clearly show that loads do not increase for longer simulations. In regard to fatigue, a sensitivity analysis shows that the procedure used for counting half cycles is more important than the simulation length itself. Based on these results, neither the simulation length nor the periodic wind files affect response statistics and loads for FOWTs (at least for the spar studied here); a result in contrast to the offshore oil and gas (O&G) industry, where running simulations of at least 3 hours in length is common practice.

Introduction: The co-authors provide an overview of the main types of wind turbines and power generators installed into wind energy devices, as well as advanced technological solutions. The co-authors have identified the principal strengths and weaknesses of existing wind power generators, if applied as alternative energy sources. The co-authors have proven the need to develop an algorithm for the selection of a wind generator-based autonomous power supply system in the course of designing windmill farms in Russia. Methods: The co-authors have analyzed several types of wind turbines and power generators. Results and discussions: The algorithm for the selection of a wind generator-based autonomous power supply system is presented as a first approximation. Conclusion: The emerging algorithm enables designers to develop an effective wind generator-based autonomous power supply system.
