Abstract
The Floating Wind Turbines (FWT) are at the forefront of innovation, aiming to enhance power capacity and reduce costs. Among these innovations, the Twin-Rotor Single-Point Mooring Floating Wind Turbines (TR-SPM FWT) stands out. However, the unique structural design and dynamic characteristics of TR-SPM FWT pose challenges for traditional FWT model testing methods. To address this, a real-time hybrid testing (RTHT) method is proposed, employing the Multi-drive Aerodynamic Loading Simulator (MALS), specifically tailored for TR-SPM FWT model tests. MALS incorporates load distribution rules to accurately simulate aerodynamic loads, with its precision and response speed comprehensively evaluated. Furthermore, to enable multiple MALS units to replicate complicated aerodynamic behaviors concurrently, interference between channels and synchronization of units are examined. A load correction model is introduced and a RTHT system is devised, considering the floater yaw feedback of TR-SPM FWT. Ultimately, the proposed method is successfully applied to investigate the dynamic response of a TR-SPM FWT under diverse wind and wave conditions, demonstrating the reliability of the proposed test method and system.
