Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research theoretically and experimentally investigated the vibrations in floating wind turbines and proposed the methods for suppressing those vibrations. Because wind turbines are installed on the floating bodies, the turbine blades and tower are coupled with the floating body and are subjected to winds and waves. As a result, the floating wind turbine encounters various kinds of vibrations which are not observed in wind turbines installed on the ground. For example, when the floating wind turbine is subjected to vertical, sinusoidal excitation due to waves, it is found that unstable vibrations may appear in the blades depending on the rotational speed of the blade and excitation frequency. In order to prevent these vibrations from occurring, the performances of vibration suppression devices, such as gyroscopes, pendulums and liquid dampers, have been examined. It was shown that these devices effectively suppressed vibrations of floating bodies in floating wind turbines.
