Abstract:
The South China Sea is rich in wind and wave energy resources， and the wind-wave combined power generation device is currently in the concept research and development stage. In recent years， extreme sea conditions such as super typhoons have frequently occurred， which poses a serious challenge to the safety of offshore floating platforms. In view of the lack of safety analysis of wind-wave combined power generation devices in extreme sea conditions at present， this paper takes the OC4-WEC combined with semi-submersible wind turbine （Semi-OC4） and the oscillating buoy wave energy converter as the research object， and establishes a mesoscale WRF-SWAN-FVCOM （W-S-F） real-time coupling platform based on the model coupling Toolkit （MCT） to analyze the spatial and temporal evolution of wind-wave-current in offshore wind farms during the whole process of super typhoon “Rammasun” transit. Combined with the medium/small scale nested method， the flow field characteristics of OC4-WEC platform are analyzed. The results show that the simulation accuracy of the established W-S-F platform for typhoon track is 42.51% higher than that of the single WRF model. Under the action of typhoon-wave-current， the heave motion amplitude of OC4-WEC platform is reduced by 38.1%， the surge motion amplitude is reduced by 26.7%， and the pitch motion amplitude is reduced by 23.4%.
