Transient response analysis of tension-leg-platformfloating offshore wind turbine under tendon failure conditions
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2020

The mooring load calculation module of the fully coupled dynamic simulation software FAST was recompiled, and the transient response of a tension-leg-platform floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) named WindStar TLP system under tendon failure was numerically simulated using a time domain method, in terms of the coupled system of wind turbine, tension-leg-type support platform and tendons. The transient response of the key parameters, i.e., platform motions, nacelle accelerations and tensions in the remaining tendons under different wave directions in 50-year extreme condition were investigated. Results show that the transient response of platform motions, nacelle accelerations and tendon tensions under tendon failure are significant. The transient response of FOWT with the broken tendon in back waves is greater than that with the broken tendon in head waves. And when the broken tendon in back waves is aligned with the wave, the transient response of FOWT is the maximum. The safety factor for tendon system under tendon failure in 50-year extreme condition meets the requirements of specification constituted by American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), which verifies the survivability of this tension-leg-type FOWT.
