anemometer tower%floating foundation%intact stability%towing stability%towing security
The intact stability and damage stability of a model of an anemometer tower with buoyancy tank founda-tion are computed by the finite element software MOSES in this paper. The natural period of the anemometer tower is discussed through frequency domain analysis. The influence of a single factor, such as towing point position, wave height, wave direction and wave period, on towing stability is discussed through time domain analysis. At the same time, the towing stability under the condition of various combinations of many factors is analyzed based on the meas-ured data of the target area. Computer simulation results show that the intact stability is preferable and the damage stability is sufficient under the condition of plenty of subdivisions. Within the scope of the buoyancy tank foundation, the higher the towing point position is, the better the stability is. Wave height has a great impact on the motion ampli-tude of buoyancy tank foundation, but the effect on the acceleration is not obvious;wave period has a great impact on the acceleration, while the effect on the motion amplitude is not obvious;following-waves towing is more conducive to safety than atry.
