Device suitable for restraining vortex-induced vibration of wind turbine tower
Technical Field
The invention relates to a tower of a wind turbine, in particular to a vibration suppression device.
Background
With the continuous development of wind power generation technology, large wind turbines are more common. However, as the wind power is continuously increased in size, the high tower barrel can absorb energy carried in the wind, vortex-induced vibration is caused, and therefore the tower barrel is failed, and great economic loss is caused. At present, vortex-induced vibration of a tower of a wind turbine is weakened by mainly installing some turbulence devices to destroy a vortex structure or change a vortex-induced mode. However, with the turbulators installed, the resistance experienced by the tower is greatly increased, and the turbulators can cause other forms of vibration. Although the increase of the turbulence device has a plurality of defects, the change of the shape of the tower section can effectively inhibit the generation of vortex-induced vibration, and at present, the turbulence device which is commonly used at home and abroad is as follows: control post, spiral strake and radome fairing.
At present, large-scale wind power enterprises in China, such as Shanghai electrics and Oriental electrics, try to adopt vortex generators to inhibit vortex-induced vibration of a tower of a wind turbine, but the vortex generators can only inhibit first-order vortex vibration of a flexible tower in a low wind speed section, but cannot inhibit second-order vortex vibration of the flexible tower excited under the conditions of strong wind and strong wind. In addition, the control method of installing a damper in the tower of the wind turbine to reduce the structural vibration is also accepted by broad scholars. The damper can tune the natural vibration frequency to be close to the fundamental frequency of the main body structure, so that the vibration energy of the main body structure is absorbed and then is consumed through the damping unit.
Because the blades of the wind turbine periodically rotate, the mass distribution of the wind turbine is continuously changed, so the natural frequency of the wind turbine is also changed, and in addition, the frequency corresponding to the first-order and second-order vortex-induced vibration of the tower of the wind turbine excited by wind is difficult to determine. Therefore, in order to effectively suppress the vortex-induced vibration of the tower of the wind turbine, the suppressing mechanism must have a broadband vibration absorbing capability. The device aims at the vortex-induced vibration characteristic of the wind turbine tower, has the advantages of light weight and wide vibration absorption frequency band, and can effectively inhibit and weaken the vortex-induced vibration of the wind turbine tower.
