Dynamic response of a hexagon-type multi-body floating photovoltaic under three types of freak waves
Photovoltaic systems are structurally fragile. Therefore, in the development of floating photovoltaic (FPV), a primary concern is the potential damage caused by extreme sea conditions, especially by freak waves. To investigate the effects of freak waves on a FPV, a coupled buoy-connector-fender-mooring numerical model is established to study the dynamic response of a FPV assembly consisting of 4 hexagon-type modules under three types of freak waves (crest-type, trough-type, and close-type). The results indicate a prompt increase in wavelet energy across five regions in response to the impact of the freak waves, including high and low frequency regions, single and double wave dominant frequency regions, as well as natural frequency region. Compared with the other two types, the trough-type freak wave results in smaller sway/heave motions and mooring line tension but larger roll motion. The crest-type and close-type freak waves, on the other hand, induce more significant increase in energy in the low frequency regime. Near the impact region, FPV assembly faces an increased risk of green water. Among the three, the trough-type freak wave creates smaller air gaps but for a shorter duration.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Structures provides a forum for a broad blend of scientific and technical papers to reflect the evolving needs of the structural engineering and structural mechanics communities. Particularly welcome are contributions dealing with applications of structural engineering and mechanics principles in all areas of technology. The journal aspires to a broad and integrated coverage of the effects of dynamic loadings and of the modelling techniques whereby the structural response to these loadings may be computed.
The scope of Engineering Structures encompasses, but is not restricted to, the following areas: infrastructure engineering; earthquake engineering; structure-fluid-soil interaction; wind engineering; fire engineering; blast engineering; structural reliability/stability; life assessment/integrity; structural health monitoring; multi-hazard engineering; structural dynamics; optimization; expert systems; experimental modelling; performance-based design; multiscale analysis; value engineering.
Topics of interest include: tall buildings; innovative structures; environmentally responsive structures; bridges; stadiums; commercial and public buildings; transmission towers; television and telecommunication masts; foldable structures; cooling towers; plates and shells; suspension structures; protective structures; smart structures; nuclear reactors; dams; pressure vessels; pipelines; tunnels.
Engineering Structures also publishes review articles, short communications and discussions, book reviews, and a diary on international events related to any aspect of structural engineering.
