Influence of local scour on bearing performance of wind turbine supporting system
offshore wind power has been paid more and more attention. There are extensive research focused on local scour of the monopile foundation. In this paper
a model of offshore wind turbine system with different scour depths is established. The static and dynamic analysis of the model is carried out. Results are in good agreement with the previous scouring model test. As the increase of scour depth
the maximum horizontal displacement
the maximum horizontal stress and the maximum bending moment values of the support system increase gradually. When the scour depth is twice the pile diameter
the maximum horizontal displacement
stress and bending moment are increased by 3.61%
12.7% and 10.3% respectively
comparing to those under the condition without local scour. The natural frequency of the system decreases with increase of scour depth
and frequencies of high order are more susceptible. Scour around pile foundation has a significant impact on dynamic characteristics of system. The horizontal displacement at the top of the tower constantly increases with scour depth. The influence of scour on the bearing performance of the supporting system must be considered in the design of offshore wind turbines.
