Abstract:In this study, the dynamic response of a Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) tower under wind loading is investigated adopting the vibration absorption concepts. Application of vibration control systems (VCS) to OWT towers has the potential to significantly improve the dynamics of the tower and the nacelle, increasing its reliability. The first vibration mitigation approach is the classical tuned mass damped (TMD) and it is used as benchmark. In the TMD approach an additional mass is installed inside the nacelle at th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
