Full textThis PhD thesis deals with the main issue which is the evolution of the first natural frequency of an offshore wind turbine. These slender structures are submitted to cyclic and dynamic loads such as wind, waves, currents, and the blade rotations. The frequencies related to these loads are close to the first natural frequency of the turbine, which lay in a narrow interval between the frequencies of the rotor and the blades. In order to avoid any resonance phenomenon, one needs a precise evaluation of not only the natural frequency of the wind turbine after its installation but also its evolution during the operation of the turbine. These two issues are considered in this work.In this context, an experimental work was developed considering two 1g physical models of an offshore wind turbine with a monopile foundation installed in Fontainebleau sand. Based on the modelling of the foundation as a set of lateral and rotational springs, an experimental program was developed in order to evaluate the stiffness of these springs and the natural frequency of the scaled models. This method was first compared to the existing methods and has allowed to develop some original methods to evaluate the natural frequency of the considered scaled model. The tests, conducted on two physical models with different scales (1/60 and 1/120), also allowed us to adapt the obtained results to a real offshore wind turbine. As a part of the study of the turbine’s evolution during its operation, cyclic load tests were conducted. A parametric study is proposed with a focus on the influence of the load’s frequency and its amplitude. The obtained results allowed us to analyze the behavior of the scaled models submitted up to one million cycles considering, mainly, the evolution of the displacement, the rotation, and the natural frequency of the structures. These results were then compared to the limits imposed by the serviceability limit state of a real offshore wind turbine

Full textOffshore wind represents the most advanced and used marine energy in the world. To increase the wind power extraction, turbines grow in size and wind farms are installed further offshore in presence of rough seas and strong winds. Marine operations become more challenging and expensive, weather windows are shorter and less frequent. This PhD work focuses on the development of a numerical tool to simulate marine operations with consistency, in particular lowering and lifting operations. The Composite-Rigid-Body Algorithm, implemented in the numerical tool InWave, is used to model multibody systems. A cable model and a winch model are developed following this multibody approach and compared to the classical low-order lumped mass theory. Hydrodynamic loads and hydrodynamic interactions are simulated using an unsteady potential flow theory based on the weakscatterer hypothesis, implemented in the numerical tool WS_CN. This approach is extended to multibody simulations and validated with comparisons to experimental data. InWave and WS_CN are coupled to solve wavestructure interaction for articulated multibody systems with large relative motions in waves. A tight coupling is selected for its robustness. The coupling equation is derived and validated from comparisons with WS_CN. This leads to the creation of a new numerical tool, InWaveS_CN, using Python as glue code language. A new mesh strategy, based on the coupling between a panel cutting method and an advance front method, is developed in WS_CN. Experiments of an upending operation were conducted at Ecole Centrale de Nantes. The comparison between the numerical simulations and the experimental data leads to a first and promising validation of InWaveS_CN

Full textOffshore structures are designed to resist to severe environmental loads. This manuscript presents experimental and numerical studies on offshore wind turbine pile foundations submitted to static monotonic/cyclic loads. Isolated piles (diameter of 1.8 m and embedded length of 40m) and a four-legged truss structure installed in dense Fontainebleau sand have been tested at 100×g in a geotechnical centrifuge. The behavior of the isolated piles has been characterized under monotonic axial load. The piles have been jacketed at 1×g and 100×g and the influence of the setup method on the bearing capacity has been measured. The stability diagram of a pile has been constructed using cyclic tests, CPT experiments have been performed and the influence of the initial stresses has been studied. Finally, experimental results of the jacket foundation submitted to lateral cyclic loadings are presented. The finite element method and a macro-element for piles have been used to numerically reproduce the experimental results. Constitutive laws are based on the hypoplasticity theory and the initial stresses in the soil have been calculated using the IC-05 method. The numerical results are compared with the experimental and the analytical results from the API standards

Full textExploração de óleo e gás em bacias de águas profundas tem-se tornado mais do que apenas uma economia lucrativa, para ser uma necessidade diária, já que a matriz energética mundial está baseada em componentes fósseis. Risers são estruturas offshore ligadas intimamente com a exploração de óleo e gás e essas estão sujeitas a uma grande variedade de efeitos na operação, e.g., correntes marítimas, Vibrações Induzidas por Vórtices (VIV), movimento de heave causado por ondas gravitacionais, contato não-linear com o solo marinho, entre outros. Dinâmica de risers é essencialmente não-linear e testes experimentais em escala real são praticamente impossíveis devido a uma enorme variedade de parâmetros de controle agindo concomitantemente. Modelos em escala reduzida são uma abordagem experimental mais conveniente. Não obstante, há muitos parâmetros estruturais e hidrodinâmicos a serem determinados. Considerando apenas risers verticais no trabalho presente, a decomposição modal de Galerkin é usada a fim de reduzir a dinâmica de um cilindro fléxivel vertical a alguns modos lineares em que a maior parte da energia e informação estão contidos. A partir da análise modal, parâmetros de massa adicional e amortecimento estrutural de um cilindro flexível vertical são obtidos usando testes de decaimento livre conduzidos na água e no ar. Finalmente, um oscilador modal de Mathieu-Hill com amortecimento não-linear é proposto e, baseado em um diagrama de Strutt, a estabilidade modal sob excitação de ressonânica paramétrica é discutida.

Full textThe petroleum exploration in deep water induces many challenges. Some of these problems are due to the extremely long structure that links the platform to the wellhead (risers). The depth increase makes the structure more slender, and consequently much more flexible, and its dynamical behavior may be described by an infinite dimensional system. Two associated problems are studied in this report: the positioning of the bottom structure, to connect it to the wellhead (reentry operation), and the vortex induced vibrations of these slender structures. The first part of this thesis is dedicated to the control of the reentry operation. Two different strategies of motion planning are proposed. The first one is based on a finite dimensional model obtained by a modal approach. The other one considers that the behavior of the structure is close to the behavior of the Bernoulli's historical cable equation, completed with a damping factor. The proposed approximate solutions of this PDE are directly used in the control design. Two different closed loop controls are proposed: one using a Lyapunov function, and another tracking system that uses the system inversion to calculate the tracking feedback. The second part is dedicated to the study of the structure's undergoing vortex induced vibrations (VIV) and to their control. It presents a first control strategy to reduce the VIV. This control strategy is based on a modal analysis of the system equations. The control system generates a displacement in phase opposition to the VIV, attenuating the VIV because of an anti-resonance effect. The simulation results are confirmed by experiments done on a reduced scale setup

Full textAmong the new-found data about the availability of fossil fuels, which affirms that oil and natural gas sources will be almost depleted in the next century and the coal in the following two centuries. There is a global pursuit about new ways to produce energy. Another important fact that ratify this quest, lies at rise of the environment imbalance arouse from the burn of fossil fuels which, through the greenhouse effect, leads, for instance, to melting glaciers and increasing the temperature in the earth. The wind power, already used to move ships since antiquity is a relevant alternative way to produce energy, since it dispose of, at least, two great advantages, namely, it is endless and produce low negative consequences to environment. A place is considered to be good to receive the wind power engines called wind turbines, which convert the wind kinetic energy in electricity, if it is a ground plane with little amount of barriers. The sea, especially the regions far from the coast, satisfy the two latter requirement, and, furthermore, it is a place in which there are less obstructions about the noise pollution from the offshore wind turbines and there is not concern about deceases arouse in people who leave near of wind farms. In order to install the wind turbines in those spots away from the seashore, is required that its towers must be attached at the sea floor or must be develop a system that allow the turbine to float. Therefore the objective of the present work is to develop a structural modelling of the Monopile, TLP (Tension Leg Platform) and Spar type wind turbines subject using Finite Element Methods with the coupling method accomplished by Localized Lagrange Multipliers, jointly with the software SolidWorks and Autocad (drawing creation), ANSYS (mesh development) and Matlab (solver). The obtained results are relevant since such models are those which are most commonly used in offshore wind power plants. Lastly, due to the use of the latter coupling method, there is not the requisition to develop the study using meshes that agree each other. On the contrary, the analysis can be performed with non match meshes adjusting them with the Zero Moment Rule described in this present study.
Diante dos mais recentes dados com respeito a quantidade de combustÃveis fÃsseis ainda disponÃveis na natureza, os quais atestam que nÃo hà mais nem um sÃculo sequer para que o petrÃleo e o gÃs natural sejam praticamente extintos e que as reservas de carvÃo mineral suprirÃo somente mais 2 sÃculos de consumo, levando em conta o gasto atual. A preocupaÃÃo quanto a novas formas de extraÃÃo de energia se tornam necessÃrias e urgentes. Outro importante fator que ratifica o imediatismo de se buscar diferentes fontes de energia em detrimento de combustÃvel fÃssil, à o fato de que as emissÃes intrÃnsecas à sua queima estÃo gerando desequilÃbrio no clima global pela intensificaÃÃo do efeito estufa, apontado como um dos principais contribuidores do derretimento de geleiras e aquecimento da temperatura da terra. A energia eÃlica, jà utilizada desde a antiguidade para auxÃlio de locomoÃÃo de embarcaÃÃes e em moinhos de vento, se mostra uma alternativa de extrema relevÃncia, jà que, ela nÃo à portadora dos dois problemas crÃticos citados anteriormente. A saber, ela à infindÃvel e tem baixa consequÃncia negativa ao meio ambiente. Quanto aos locais que oferecem maior rendimento e produÃÃo para instalaÃÃo dos aerogeradores, responsÃveis pela conversÃo da energia cinÃtica do vento em energia elÃtrica, sÃo os que dispÃem de terreno mais plano e ausente de barreiras que impeÃam a continuidade do fluxo de vento. O mar, sobretudo as regiÃes mais distantes da costa, satisfazem Ãs duas necessidades citadas anteriormente, e, ainda se tratam de um local no qual nÃo hà a preocupaÃÃo quanto a poluiÃÃo sonora gerada pelos aerogeradores e nem com distÃrbios e doenÃas que possam ser desencadeadas em pessoas que residam pertos de grandes parques Ãolicos. A utilizaÃÃo de aerogeradores no mar (offshore) distantes da costa, e por conseguinte, em grandes profundidades, requer torres de sustentaÃÃo fixadas ao solo ou um sistema que proporcione que a turbina flutue. Diante do exposto, o trabalho em questÃo tem por objetivo realizar a modelagem estrutural do aerogerador flutuante (Spar), do portador de torre de tripà e do modelo monopile, sujeitos a carregamentos decorrentes de situaÃÃes normais e extremas, utilizando os mÃtodos dos Elementos Finitos juntamente com o MÃtodo de Acoplamento por Multiplicadores de Lagrange Localizados, atrelados aos softwares SolidWorks e Autocad (criaÃÃo do desenho), ANSYS (malha) e Matlab (solver). E, em decorrÃncia do fato da utilizaÃÃo do mÃtodo de acoplamento, nÃo hà necessidade de que as malhas dos subdomÃnios envolvidos sejam coincidentes. Pelo contrÃrio, pode-se utilizar malhas nÃo encaixantes para discretizar o sistema e, nas regiÃes onde hà contato entre malhas que nÃo coicidem, aplica-se a Regra do Momento Zero, descrita no presente trabalho. Nesse tipo de abordagem, pode haver uma separaÃÃo dos cÃdigos computacionais utilizados para o fluido e para a estrutura, os quais sÃo inicialmente tratados como entidades individuais e sà apÃs terem sido discretizados à que a informaÃÃo sobre suas malhas à recebida pela parte do cÃdigo responsÃvel por realizar o acoplamento dos subdomÃnios. Problemas de malhas que nÃo se encaixam podem surgir por diversos motivos, dentre eles, o fato de um subdomÃnio requerer uma malha mais refinada do que outros para que dele resultem resultados acurados. Pesquisadores de diferentes Ãreas podem gerar malhas separadas de distintos subdomÃnios e desejarem unÃ-los pelo mÃtodo abordado nesse trabalho em uma simulaÃÃo, ou a conformidade das malhas pode requerer muito tempo dispendido devido ao grande esforÃo computacional para a geraÃÃo de malhas conformes. Por fim, a aplicaÃÃo do mÃtodo produz resultados de grande relevÃncia, visto que, os modelos a que dizem respeito sÃo os mais comumente utilizados em projetos de aproveitamento de energia eÃlica offshore.

Full textPå grund av ökningen av rotorstorleken hos horisontella vindturbiner (HAWT) under de senaste 25 åren, en design som har uppstod för att uppnå högre effekt, måste alla vindkraftkomponenter och blad stå emot högre strukturella belastningar. Detta uppskalningsproblem kan lösas genom att använda metoder som kan minska aerodynamiska belastningar som rotorn måste tåla, antingen med passiva eller aktiva styrlösningar. Dessa kontrollanordningar och tekniker kan minska utmattningsbelastningen på bladen med upp till 40 % och därför behövs mindre underhåll, vilket resulterar i viktiga besparingar för vindkraftsägaren. Detta projekt består av en studie av lastkontrolltekniker för havsbaserade vindkraftverk ur en aerodynamisk och aeroelastisk synvinkel, i syfte att bedöma en kostnadseffektiv, robust och pålitlig lösning som kan fungera underhållsfri i tuffa miljöer. Den första delen av denna studie involverar 2D- och 3D-aerodynamiska och aeroelastiska simuleringar för att validera beräkningsmodellen med experimentella data och för att analysera interaktionen mellan fluiden och strukturen. Den andra delen av denna studie är en bedömning av de ojämna aerodynamiska belastningarna som produceras av ett vindkast över bladen och för att verifiera hur en bakkantklaff skulle påverka de aerodynamiska styrparametrarna för det valda vindturbinbladet.
