This paper presents the design of a linear quadratic (LQ) optimal controller for a spar-type floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT). The FOWT is exposed to different sea states and constant wind turbulence intensity above rated wind speed.

Comparing the economic feasibility of offshore floating wind and solar photovoltaic technologies in Central Mediterranean deep waters [PDF]
Malta, being a very small and densely populated island in the central Mediterranean, has little space for large scale onshore wind turbine or photovoltaic projects. Maltese territorial waters are mostly too deep for conventional offshore wind farms
