Especially in parked conditions, with reduced aerodynamic damping forces, the response due to wave actions with wave frequencies close to the first structural resonance frequencies can be high. Therefore, this paper will present numerical simulations using the HAWC2 code to study an offshore wind turbine in parked conditions. The model has been created according to best practice and current standards based on the design of an existing Vestas V90 offshore wind turbine on a monopile foundation in the Belgian North Sea. The damping value of the model's first fore-aft mode has been tuned on the basis of measurements obtained from a long-term ambient monitoring campaign on the same wind turbine. Using the updated model of the offshore wind ...

The main advantages are its computational speed and the very clear stabilization diagrams it yields even in the case of highly damped systems and noisy FRF measurements. Moreover, the numerical stability of the algorithm allows for a large-bandwidth and high-model order analysis and makes it suitable both for lowly- and highly-damped structures. Regardless of the very clear stabilization diagrams, it has been observed that the damping estimates are not always reliable for highly damped modes when the FRFs are very noisy. In this paper, a two-step procedure is introduced to improve the damping estimates while maintaining the very clear stabilization diagrams. In the first step, a kind of smoothing is used to remove the noise from the data and in the second step; the pLSCF estimator is applied to the smoothed data resulting in improved (damping) estimates. In addition, the proposed procedure properly deals with uncertainty: the data variance due to measurement noise is taken into account to compute confidence bounds on the modal parameter estimates. The procedure is validated by means of simulated as well as experimental data. The presented procedure to process highly damped noisy vibration data leads to very accurate estimates in comparison to the traditional pLSCF approach.

The proposed approach is mainly introduced to improve the accuracy of the modal parameters estimated by the poly-reference least squares complex frequency-domain (i.e. pLSCF) estimator and to have their confidence intervals as well. In that approach, a 3-step procedure is introduced to improve the estimates accuracy while taking the advantage of the very clear stabilization diagram of pLSCF estimator. The proposed approach has been optimized to reduce the computation time as well as the memory requirements. The algorithm is evaluated and compared with two other published algorithms by means of Monte-Carlo simulations.
