Abstract
In this study, a flexible monopile foundation is modeled considering the Pile-Soil Interaction (PSI) enhancing a previously designed Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) model controlled by an optimal passive-adaptive Pendulum-Tuned Mass Damper (PTMD). The PSI is designed by a pile modeled as beam-column elements supported by nonlinear springs for lateral loads (p-y curves) and axial loads (t-z and Q-z curves), applied at the nodal points between the elements. The estimation of wind and wave spectra, as well as the hydrodynamic and aerodynamic loads, are conducted by using an in-house built MATLAB® routine working together with an ANSYS® 3-D finite element (FE) global model for evaluating the resultant peak displacement response at the OWT hub by a power spectral density (PSD) analysis. This procedure basis on the 5-MW baseline OWT proposed by the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL). A selected design case of PTMD parameters compares the PSD response with and without soil interaction and an static analysis procedure evaluates the monopile displacements and stresses along the pile.
