This paper investigates the vibration control, stability, and energy transfer of the offshore wind turbine tower system with control force and nonlinearity terms. A nonlinear proportional derivative (NPD) controller was connected to the system to reduce a high oscillation amplitude and to transfer the energy in the wind turbine system. Furthermore, the averaging method and Poincaré maps were used with respect to the controlled system to study the stability and bifurcation analysis in the worst resonance cases. The curves of force response and frequency response were plotted before and after the control unit was added to the wind turbine system. In addition, we discuss the performances of the control parameters on the vibration magnitudes. Numerical simulations were carried out with Maple and Matlab algorithms to confirm the analytical results. The results show the effectiveness of the NPD controller in suppressing the nonlinear oscillations of the wind turbine system.

The tower is the main supporting structure of wind turbine, is connected with the foundation and bears the long-term effects of wind load and gravity load and so on. The structural styles of wind turbine tower are analyzed. The lowest height of tower is presented and the relationship of the tower height and diameter of the wind wheel is also studied in detail in this paper. By analyzing the natural frequency and the vibration displacement of wind turbine tower system, the reasonable resonance vibration interval of tower system is also obtained.

Sea ice is one of the main loads acting on a wind turbine tower in areas prone to icing, and this threatens safe working life of the wind turbine tower. In our study, a simplified calculated model of ice, wind turbine tower, and water dynamic interaction under earthquake action was proposed, which could avoid to solve a large number of nonlinear equations. Then, the seismic behaviour of the wind turbine tower with and without the influence of sea ice was investigated, and we found that the influence of the greater mass of the sea ice on the seismic response of a wind turbine tower should be considered when the wind turbine tower is designed in an area with thick ice. With the influence of the most unfavourable ice mass, the deformation and energy dissipation capacity of the wind turbine tower are decreased, and the wall thickness or stiffening rib thickness should be increased to improve the seismic performance and ductility of the wind turbine tower; the shear force and bending moment increased significantly on the wind turbine tower, and the shear force changes at the bottom of the wind turbine tower and position of action of the sea ice: attention should be paid to the wind turbine tower design at these positions. Finally, we conducted the shaking table test, and verified the rationality of our proposed simplified model.

The steel–concrete hybrid wind turbine tower is characterized by the concrete tubular segment at the lower part and the traditional steel tubular segment at the upper part. Because of the great change of mass and stiffness along the height of the tower at the connection of steel segment and concrete segment, its dynamic responses under seismic ground motions are significantly different from those of the traditional steel tubular wind turbine tower. Two detailed finite element models of a full steel tubular tower and a steel–concrete hybrid tower for 2.0 MW wind turbine built in the same wind farm are, respectively, developed by using the finite element software ABAQUS. The response spectrum method is applied to analyze the seismic action effects of these two towers under three different ground types. Three groups of ground motions corresponding to three ground types are used to analyze the dynamic response of the steel–concrete hybrid tower by the nonlinear time history method. The numerical results show that the seismic action effect by the response spectrum method is lower than those by the nonlinear time history method. And then it can be concluded that the response spectrum method is not suitable for calculating the seismic action effects of the steel–concrete hybrid tower directly and the time history analyses should be a necessary supplement for its seismic design. The first three modes have obvious contributions on the dynamic response of the steel–concrete hybrid tower.
