The rising demand for renewable energy has driven the continuous expansion in both the size and complexity of wind turbine systems. In seismic-prone regions like East Asia, Southern Europe, and the USA, accurate damage assessment of wind turbines is crucial and relies on data acquired through realistic experiments. This research utilizes the Multi-Axis Substructure Testing system (MAST) at Swinburne University of Technology to conduct extensive multi-axis tests on a wind turbine tower constructed with steel circular hollow sections. Two types of load protocols, including cyclic loading via quasi-static testing and seismic loading through hybrid simulation were used. The experiment data provides valuable insights into the vulnerability assessment of these critical infrastructures under seismic events.

摘要

The rising demand for renewable energy has driven the continuous expansion in both the size and complexity of wind turbine systems. In seismic-prone regions like East Asia, Southern Europe, and the USA, accurate damage assessment of wind turbines is crucial and relies on data acquired through realistic experiments. This research utilizes the Multi-Axis Substructure Testing system (MAST) at Swinburne University of Technology to conduct extensive multi-axis tests on a wind turbine tower constructed with steel circular hollow sections. Two types of load protocols, including cyclic loading via quasi-static testing and seismic loading through hybrid simulation were used. The experiment data provides valuable insights into the vulnerability assessment of these critical infrastructures under seismic events.
