Abstract

The floating wave energy power generation platform has emerged as a focal point of research in the offshore power generation sector, garnering increasing attention from scholars and researchers in the field. Due to the complex marine environment in which the floating wave energy power generation platform is located, the floating platform produces more complex structural vibration and dynamic response, which affects the platform fatigue damage and the stability of power generation to varying degrees. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a coupled dynamics simulation study on the floating wave energy generation platform. This paper presents a novel structural design for a floating wave energy power generation platform. Utilizing the hydrodynamic simulation software AQWA, the study investigates and analyzes the coupled dynamic response of the floating platform across six degrees of freedom. In addition to this, to further minimize the load and vibrations experienced by the floating wave energy power generation platform, this paper applies four tensioned chain lines on the bottom of the platform in the vertical direction, and compared with the previous structural form. The results demonstrate that the tensioned chain line system effectively reduces the dynamic response of the floating wave energy power generation platform in all directions, especially in the direction of heave, and significantly improve the stability of the floating platform.
