Abstract:
This paper establishes a monopile foundation model for offshore wind turbines using the finite element Software ABAQUS, combined with the USEFLD subroutine to calculate soil degradation, and uses a simplified spring model to ealeulate the natural frequeney of the monopile wind turbine System. The effects of the number of cyclic load cycles, the magnitude of cyclic load, and the size of the monopile on the natural frequeney of the wind turbine System are diseussed. The research results show that the natural frequeney of the monopile foundation wind turbine System decreases with the increase in the number of cyclic load cycles. Moreover, the greater the cyclic load level, the more significant the degradation of the wind turbine System' s natural frequeney. For the wind turbine size and soil conditions considered in this study, after 107 cycles of cyclic loading, the wind turbine's natural frequeney can decrease to as low as 0.954 times its initial value, but it still remains within the 1P to 3P frequeney ränge. Increasing the monopile length, diameter, and wall thickness can reduce the long-term degradation of the monopile wind turbine System's natural frequeney. Under the condition of the same steel usage, increasing the pile diameter is more effective in mitigating the natural frequeney degradation of the wind turbine System compared to increasing the pile length and wall thickness, thus ensuring the stable Operation of the wind turbine System.
