OC3 Background • OWTs are designed using aero-hydro-servo-elastic codes • The codes must be verified to assess their accuracy
OC3 Activities & Objectives The IEA Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration (OC3) is an international forum for OWT dynamics code verification • Discuss modeling strategies • Develop suite of benchmark models & simulations • Run simulations & process results • Compare & discuss results • Assess simulation accuracy & reliability • Train new analysts how to run codes correctly • Investigate capabilities of implemented theories • Refine applied analysis methods • Identify further R&D needs Activities Objectives
OC3 Participants & Codes • 3Dfloat • ADAMS-AeroDyn-HydroDyn • ADAMS-AeroDyn-WaveLoads • ADCoS-Offshore • ADCoS-Offshore-ASAS • ANSYS-WaveLoads • BHawC • Bladed • Bladed Multibody • DeepC • FAST-AeroDyn-HydroDyn • FAST-AeroDyn-NASTRAN • FLEX5 • FLEX5-Poseidon • HAWC • HAWC2 • SESAM • SIMPACK-AeroDyn • Simo
OC3 Coordination & Meetings • E-mail coordination • Net-meetings held every 1-2 months • Physical meetings held 1-2 times per year • IEA Wind Task 23 Website (now public!) • Database of model parameters & simulation results
OC3 Approach & Phases Approach • All inputs are predefined: • NREL 5-MW wind turbine, including control system • Variety of support structures • Wind & wave datasets • A stepwise procedure is applied: • Load cases selected to test different model features • OC3 ran from 2005 to 2009: • Phase I: Monopile + Rigid Foundation • Phase II: Monopile + Flexible Found’tn • Phase III: Tripod • Phase IV: Floating Spar Buoy • 3-year follow-on project being initiated: • Phase V: Jacket • Phase VI: Floating semisubmersible Phases
Load Cases 1.X – Full-System Eigenanalysis • Full-system flexibility • Elastic response only • Compared natural frequencies & damping ratios 2.X – Rigid • Rigid turbine • Aerodynamics without hydro: • Steady & turbulent winds • Hydrodynamics without aero: • Regular & irregular waves 3.X – Onshore Wind Turbine • Flexible tower, drivetrain, & rotor • Rigid substructure • Aero-servo-elastics without hydro: • Steady & turbulent winds 4.X – Inverted Pendulum • Flexible support structure • Rigid tower-top • Hydro-elastics without aero: • Regular & irregular waves 5.X – Full-System Dynamics • Full-system flexibility • Full aero-hydro-servo-elastics: • Steady winds with regular waves • Turbulent winds with irregular waves
Papers & Final Report • 1 conference paper per phase published/presented: • Phase I: Torque, 2007 • Phase II: EOW, 2007 • Phase III: AIAA, 2009 • Phase IV: EWEC, 2010 • Final report reviewing all phases, including updated results submitted since paper publication • Journal article in progress?
Summary • OC3 aims to verify OWT dynamics codes • Simulations tested a variety of OWT types & model features • Code-to-code comparisons have agreed well • Differences caused by variations in: • Model fidelity • Aero- & hydrodynamic theory • Model discretization • Numerical problems • User error • Task 30 will consider offshore jacket & semisubmersible • Verification is critical to advance offshore wind Spar Concept by SWAY Semisubmersible Concept
