Floating offshore wind growth places the industry development close to commercial scale.
However, the harsh environment with strong winds, waves, and currents, together with the …

During the past decade, the development of offshore wind energy has transitioned from near
shore with shallow water to offshore middle-depth water regions. Consequently, the energy …

The flow-field around the rotor blades of an FOWT may be significantly influenced by the six
rigid-body motions of the floating platform via the blade–wake interaction. Therefore, the …

Compared to onshore wind power, floating offshore wind power is a promising renewable
energy source due to higher wind speeds and larger suitable available areas. However …

Due to the dissimilar scaling issues, the conventional experimental method of FOWTs can
hardly be used directly to validate the full-scale global dynamic responses accurately …

The offshore wind resource has huge energy potential. However, wind turbine floating
structures have to withstand harsh conditions. Strong wind and wave effects combine to …

In this work a nonlinear model predictive controller with individual pitch control for a floating
offshore wind turbine is presented. An aerodynamic model of the collective pitch control …

The possibility of a pitch instability for floating wind turbines, due to the blade‐pitch
controller, has been discussed extensively in recent years. Contrary to many advanced multi …

This work proposes a novel Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG)-based blade pitch control
method for floating offshore wind turbines, in which a state-space model of the turbine and …

This paper aims to give an overview of the recent development and benefits of model
predictive control in wind turbines and its future potential. For a modern large wind turbine …
