Comparison of Power and Thrust Performance for a Fixed and Floating Offshore Wind Turbine

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Floating offshore wind turbines have been identified as a critical technology for sustainable electricity generation. Wind resource assessment is used to determine optimal locations for floating wind farms. However, current methodologies do not account for performance differences between fixed and floating turbines due to wind‐ and wave ...

Influence of steady and turbulent wind on motions, mooring tension, and fatigue performance of a steel OO-Star floating offshore wind turbine

Frontiers in Energy Research
Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) often operate under turbulent wind conditions. However, to enhance computational efficiency, steady wind is sometimes used as an alternative to turbulent wind, potentially resulting in conservative estimates ...

Linear Quadratic Optimal Control of a Spar-Type Floating Offshore Wind Turbine in the Presence of Turbulent Wind and Different Sea States

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018
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.

Modeling, Validation, and Control of the IEA‐15 MW Reference Wind Turbine and VolturnUS‐S Platform

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the acausal modeling, validation, and control of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). The model simulates the IEA‐15 MW reference turbine and the semi‐submersible VolturnUS‐S platform utilizing a Control‐oriented, Reconfigurable, and Acausal Floating Turbine Simulator (CRAFTS), which integrates the key coupled aero ...

Power Quality‐Oriented Multiloop Design of Floating Wind Turbines Pitch Control

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) face inherent control limitations in above‐rated operating conditions due to right‐half‐plane zeros in the blade‐pitch‐to‐rotor‐speed dynamics, which restrict achievable control bandwidth and may lead to closed‐loop instability.
