Considering the limited space within the nacelle, this paper proposed a novel methodology for designing a tuned mass dampers (TMD) installed inside the tower. To achieve an optimal design, a 4-degree-of-freedom simplify dynamic model is established to predict the vibration characteristics of spar OFWTs quickly and accurately. A new TMD configuration installed inside the tower is proposed to reduce the effect of space limitation and to determine the stroke limitation Based on the proposed methodology, the stiffness and damping of the TMD are designed and optimized, and then the detailed structural parameters are calculated. The comparison results show that, the proposed TMD achieves a maximum peak suppression rate of 90.67% in tower top fore-aft deformation power spectral density, which is 19.92% higher than that of the TMD designed by the formula method. The proposed TMD can effectively address the problem caused by the space limitation within nacelle, and provide superior vibration suppression for spar OFWTs. date: 2024-03-20 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.oceaneng.2024.117412 full_text_type: other language: eng verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2261857 doi: 10.1016/j.oceaneng.2024.117412 lyricists_name: Liu, Yuanchang lyricists_id: YLIUA09 actors_name: Liu, Yuanchang actors_id: YLIUA09 actors_role: owner full_text_status: restricted publication: Ocean Engineering volume: 301 article_number: 117412 citation: Lin, Jiahua; Wang, Yangwei; Zhang, Guanchen; Liu, Yuanchang; Zhang, Jun; (2024) Novel tuned mass dampers installed inside tower of spar offshore floating wind turbines.
