摘要

摘要: 近年来，风电机组大型化趋势明显。随着风电机组从陆上向海上发展，其运行环境更加恶劣。在追求全生命周期内的生产单位电能成本最低的背景下，结构优化技术得到了设计研发人员的重视。作为一种较高级的结构优化技术，拓扑优化在概念设计阶段即可得到最优结构的材料分布型式，为后续的详细设计奠定了有利基础。为了促进风电机组零部件拓扑优化设计技术的发展，回顾了连续体结构拓扑优化理论方法及其行业领域应用的历史现状。综述风电机组叶片、塔架、浮式平台和大型结构件等拓扑优化设计的现状和不足，分析了拓扑优化应用存在的难点，并给出了未来发展趋势。

Abstract: In recent years， the prevalence of large-scale wind turbines has been evident. As the wind turbines transition from terrestrial to marine environments， their service environment has become increasingly harsh. In the context of striving for the lowest cost per kilowatt-hour over the full life cycle， the structural optimization technology has garnered the interest of design and R&D professionals. Topology optimization （TO）， as an advanced structural optimization technology， may determine the ideal material distribution of a structure at the conceptual design phase， thus establishing a solid foundation for further detailed design. To promote the development of TO design technology for wind turbine components， the historical status of TO theory and its applications in various industries are reviewed. The present condition and deficiencies of the TO design for wind turbine blades， towers， floating platforms， and others are summarized. The challenges in the implementation of TO are analyzed， and prospective development trends are presented.
