Study on Fatigue Characteristics of Offshore VSC-HVDC Converter Valve Tower in Operation
Converter valve is the core equipment of offshore VSC-HVDC system. For studying the fatigue characteristics of a supported offshore converter valve tower in operation
a finite element model is set up based on an offshore VSC-HVDC converter valve in a project. The fatigue characteristics and fatigue damage under environmental load are studied through equivalent damage and load effect analysis. According to the fatigue analysis theory
the equivalent damage value and load effect ratio of the converter valve tower are analyzed. The results show that each part of the converter valve tower has a large safety margin under the service life
and the fatigue life of the converter valve tower meets the 25 years service life requirement.
