Damage, fatigue and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of jacket type offshore wind turbine

Morphosense

REQUEST

Monitoring of the static and dynamic behavior of an installed offshore “jacket” type wind turbine.

Creation of a complete digital twin for damage, fatigue and Remaining Useful Life (RUL).

Digital twin

SOLUTIONS

Morphosense

Deployment of 6xIP65 standard S-morpho measurement nodes in the tower and nacelle of the wind turbine and 3xIP68 waterproof S-morpho nodes on the lattice support.

The data was processed through the use of Morphosense software:

  • Operational Modal Analysis (OMA), emergent frequency tracking and dynamic deformation reconstruction,
  • Reconstruction of the static deformation,
  • Construction of a numerical twin based on a finite element model,
  • Fatigue study algorithms.

CONCLUSION

  • Real time structural monitoring (static and dynamic) correlated with sea and wind conditions
  • Estimation of damage, fatigue and Remaining Useful Life (RUL)
  • Supply of data for help decision making
