Abstract
An offshore wind turbine (OWT) analysis relies on
aero-hydro-servo-elastic simulation tools, which take
into account an interaction of various environmental
conditions and the entire structural assembly of the
turbine, including its control system. For the more
confident analysis of loads imposed on OWTs located in
ice infested regions, an additional interface between sea
ice loading and a support structure is necessary. Two ice
load models are interfaced with OneWind, a library for a
couple, time domain simulation of OWT developed at
Fraunhofer IWES (Strobel 2011). The first model is a
procedure for soil-structure-ice-interaction (PSSII) used
for vertical structures. The second an ice load model for
simulation of the stochastic ice bending failure on a
support structure with cone. A simplified OWT with a
monopile support structure was considered. The nacelle
and rotor assembly was modelled as a point mass at the
top. In OneWind an interface for importing ice forces was
build. The response of a structure and horizontal ice
forces was simulated with PSSII procedure. Then, ice
forces are imported with the interface into OneWind,
where a structure response is re-simulated. A comparison
of the structural response simulated with a standalone
PSSII procedure and OneWind produces satisfactory results
in terms of displacements. In addition, the difference
between the standalone PSSII and OneWind comes from the
fact that PSSII is based on modal analysis, whereas
OneWind is based on a finite element method. Ice forces
on conical support structure are generated by the ice
load model and import as well with the interface into
OneWind. The structural responses were simulated with
Abaqus and OneWind. The comparison of the simulated
structural responses shows a good agreement
