Abstract:
As the novel wind turbine tower structure, the concrete-filled double-skin tubular (CFDST) wind turbine system shows an excellent mechanical performance compared with conventional steel tubes. This paper performs a comprehensive investigation to better understand structural dynamics and aeroelasticity of CFDST wind turbine system against typhoons. A series of aeroelastic wind tunnel model tests are initially conducted, featuring the tower-blade-nacelle coupled system in simulated typhoon fields. Then, a two-way coupled numerical model is developed, by applying the k-omega SST model to simulate the turbulent flows and aerodynamic loads of the CFDST wind turbine system. The effects of blade rotation, turbulence, and wind speed on the aerodynamic characteristics of the CFDST wind turbine system are discussed based numerical simulations. The results indicate that the dynamic response of the CFDST wind turbine system is dominated by the harmonic excitation from blade rotation (i.e., 1 P and 3 P), especially in the crosswind direction (i.e., 90 degrees and 270 degrees). The structural dynamic response would be significantly amplified with the increasing reduced wind speed and turbulence intensity. Consequently, the maximum mean and fluctuating wind pressure coefficients rise up to 4.23 and 3.2, respectively, at Iuu= 24 % and Ur= 10.7. Correspondingly, the RMS values of lift and drag coefficients reach maximum values of 0.38 and 1.15, respectively. This study gains insight into the aerodynamic behavior of the integrated wind turbine system with CFDST tower.
