Fatigue Reliability of joint connections in support structure of offshore wind turbines
Fatigue Reliability of joint connections in support structure of offshore wind turbines by Anh Quang Mai This study is my initial attempt to investigate the evolution of fatigue reliability of welded joints in offshore wind turbine support structures. This information is crucial to update the inspected data (crack sizes, probability of crack detection) to make the plan for the next inspection a...
متن کاملControl for Damping the Fatigue Relevant Deformation Modes of Offshore Wind Turbines
Damping of two deformation modes by one control loop has been demonstrated by simulation for a typcial 3 MW wind turbine. The vibration levels of the 2 and 3 in-plane modal modes were significantly reduced. Calculations with the aerodynamic code PHATAS showed an overall in-plane fatigue load reduction by ca 40%. The control loop includes a Kalman filter that estimates state variables for the mo...
متن کاملReducing Uncertainty of Monte Carlo Estimated Fatigue Damage in Offshore Wind Turbines Using FORM
Uncertainties related to fatigue damage estimation of non-linear systems are highly dependent on the tail behaviour and extreme values of the stress range distribution. By using a combination of the First Order Reliability Method (FORM) and Monte Carlo simulations (MCS), the accuracy of the fatigue estimations may be improved for the same computational efforts. The method is applied to a bottom...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of Jacket Substructures for Offshore Wind Turbines
This study focused on investigating various existing types of offshore jacket substructures along with a proposed twisted-tripod jacket type (modified jacket (MJ)-structures). The architectures of the three-leg structure, as well as the patented twisted jacket structure motivated the design of the proposed MJ-structures. The dimensions of the structures were designed iteratively using static st...
