摘要: 為了研究運轉工況下風電塔的地震響應及倒塔模式,使用風電塔設計軟件FAST建立風電塔模型,比較停機和運轉不同工況下的結構響應,并在運轉工況下通過改變地震動輸入方向研究不同風震組合角對結構響應的影響,得到最不利工況;使用ABAQUS建立風電塔的精細化有限元模型,將FAST計算的塔頂風荷載導入ABAQUS開展分析計算.將基于葉素理論計算的塔頂荷載與FAST計算結果進行對比,并進一步將彈性階段ABAQUS與FAST模擬的塔頂位移進行對比,校驗分析方法的合理性.利用ABAQUS模型將地震動調幅,開展倒塔模擬.研究結果表明運轉工況下最不利風震組合角是90°,強震下塑性鉸在塔身下部出現并向中上部發展,最終該風電塔在中上部發生破壞.Abstract: In order to study seismic responses and collapse mode of a wind turbine tower under operational conditions, a wind turbine tower model was developed by the wind turbine design software FAST. The structural responses in idle condition and operational conditions were calculated and compared. The influences of different angles between wind and earthquake inputs on structural responses were investigated. A detailed finite element model of the same tower was developed with ABAQUS. Wind load effects induced by the blades were calculated by FAST simulations and were verified with the results estimated through the blade element theory. Elastic analysis results from the FAST model and the ABAQUS model were also compared for verification purposes. Tower collapse simulations were conducted under earthquake excitations using the ABAQUS model. Study results show that the case with a 90° angle between the wind and earthquake inputs is the most dangerous scenario that could occur for tower dynamic responses. Collapse simulations indicate that the plastic hinges are initiated from the bottom part of the tubular tower wall; later, they develop into the upper part of the structure too. The tower fails at the middle-upper part of the tower wall.
