Pitch motion control of spar-type floating wind turbines

Published in International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering (OMAE2023), 2023

The present study proposes an active structural control method utilizing a plate hinged at the bottom of a spar-type floating substructure as an external control device. The controller is developed under an optimal declutching control framework, in which the damping coefficient of the PTO system is set as a binary function. It is found that current optimal declutching control strategy can effectively minimize the pitch motion of the spar-type substructure and maximize the PTO’s power simultaneously.

Motion Control of Floating Wind-Wave Energy Platforms

Published in Marine Energy Research, 2025

This paper is about the control of a semi-submersible platform connected with a movable heave plate. Platform motion is reduced by actively tuning the interaction between the plate and the platform.
