Abstract:
  Introduction  The suction bucket jacket is a new type of offshore wind turbine foundation with many advantages, and its vibration characteristics are obviously different from those of traditional foundations. Correctly handling the boundary conditions of the infinite foundation is very important to accurately analyze the vibration problem, so this paper analyzes the vibration characteristics of the suction bucket jacket offshore wind turbine under different boundary conditions.  Method  Taking a suction bucket jacket offshore wind turbine as the analysis object, a full three-dimensional finite element model of structure and soil coupling was established in ANSYS APDL, the influence of boundary conditions on the natural frequency was studied, and the sensitivity analysis of related parameters was carried out.  Result  Different boundary conditions have a great influence on the natural frequency of the whole structure. Changing the boundary conditions has a greater influence on the axial stiffness and torsional stiffness than the bending stiffness of the structure. The natural frequency of the whole structure increases with the spring stiffness of the viscoelastic boundary, the elastic modulus of the soil, and the coefficients of friction between the bucket and soil.  Conclusion  The related factors that affect the calculation accuracy of the natural frequency of the whole structure are analyzed, which can provide references for engineering calculations.

Abstract:
  Introduction  Basically, the centralized wind power projects in South China or on land have been developed, and the distributed wind power projects based on making full use of the idle land around villages and towns or factory areas have sprung up. It is expected that the distributed wind power generation which utilizes low-speed wind will bring new incremental space for the domestic wind power market. Whether the location of distributed wind turbine is right or not will directly affect the economic benefit of the power station. Due to the fact that there is no support of wind resource data actually measured on the idle land around villages and towns or factory areas, it is facing a great challenge to develop distributed wind farms or select the site and type of the wind turbine.  Method  This paper put forward the idea of finding the load first, then selecting the site of wind power plant, and to analyze and select the best wind turbine location depending on the meteorological data of wind resources.  Result  The research shows that: taking the design of a distributed wind farm in South China as an example, by adopting the idea of distributed-wind-power plant site selection and wind turbine type selection proposed in this paper, making full use of the idle land around the factory and mine, the optimal design suggestion of selecting to use three sets of 3X anti typhoon type wind turbines with 100-meter-high hub is reached.  Conclusion  The proposed idea of distributed wind power plant location and wind turbine type selection is correct and effective, which can provide guidance for practical operation.

2021, 8(2): 78-84. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2021.02.012
Abstract:
  Introduction  The safe and stable operation of UHV transmission lines is essential to the safety of power grids. When the new substation deconstructs the original long line in the power grid planning and construction, the following problems, such as the three-phase unbalanced current line does not meet the setting requirements, line high impedance over-compensation generates overvoltage, may occur. These problems may seriously threaten the safe and stable operation of the power grid and should be solved.  Method  In order to solve the above problems, the electromagnetic transient software ATP-EMTP was used to simulate the unbalanced current and overvoltage in 500 kV transmission lines on the same tower, so as to explore the influencing factors and change mechanism of these parameters, and then put forward countermeasures.  Results  The simulation results show that the main factors affecting the double circuit line's unbalanced current on the same tower include transposition and phase sequence arrangement. Increasing the number of transpositions can effectively reduce the unbalanced current level. By adopting a reverse phase sequence arrangement is also efficient. The main reason that affects the power frequency resonance over-voltage is whether the compensation degree is close to full compensation. During over-compensation, increasing the compensation degree can reduce the recovery voltage, but the potential supply current will increase relatively.  Conclusion  The above conclusions have guiding and reference significance for power grid planning, construction, and safe operation. Furthermore, it can effectively solve related problems in actual projects.
