Wind turbine wake dynamics subjected to atmospheric gravity
Abstract. Atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs) are large-scale wave-like flow structures commonly generated when atmospheric flows are vertically perturbed by topographical features or
This study proposes a novel utilization of Oscillating Water Columns (OWCs) as a reliable and viable solution to mitigate platform pitch and yaw motions, thereby significantly enhancing the efficiency and reducing fatigue in wind turbines.
The proposed hybrid six-floater Oscillating Water Column-based Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Platform (6OWC-FOWT) concept is developed using the CAD software MultiSurf v8.9, which facilitates the design of complex geometries and has a seamless integration with WAMIT.
This selection process aims to dampen the pitch and yaw motions of the platform, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of the floating offshore wind turbine.
Scientific Reports 14, Article number: 16191 (2024) Cite this article The operational efficiency and lifespan of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) are adversely impacted by the inherent platform motions and undesired vibrations induced by wind and wave loads.
