On the Controllability of a Floating Offshore Wind Turbine
Abstract An analytical method for assessing the controllability of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) is presented in this work. Modern linear control theory principles are applied to linearized FOWT models to establish quantifiable metrics to determine advantageous, or disadvantageous, differences in turbine models from a controls ...

Identification of Vibration Modes in Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
Compared to onshore turbines, floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) take advantage of the increased availability of offshore wind while causing less environmental impact. However, the strong winds, waves, and currents to which they are subjected trigger oscillations that can cause significant damage to the entire structural system and reduce its ...
