Liu, Y. (author), Frederik, J.A. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author), Wu, P. (author), Li, Sunwei (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)Individual pitch control (IPC) is an effective and widely used strategy to mitigate blade loads in wind turbines. However, conventional IPC fails to cope with blade and actuator faults, and this situation may lead to an emergency shutdown and increased maintenance costs. In this paper, a fault-tolerant individual pitch control (FTIPC) scheme...journal article 2021

Li, Shijie (author), Liu, Jialun (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Wu, Qing (author)Autonomous shipping refers to the ability of a ship to independently control its own actions while transporting cargo from one port to another, which places higher requirements on ship motion control methods. When a ship enters a port, it is important to ensure that the ship sails from the fairway area to the assigned position at the berth...journal article 2020

Liu, Y. (author), Fontanella, A. (author), Wu, P. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) are more prone to suffer from faults and failures than bottom-fixed counterparts due to the severe wind and wave loads typical of deep water sites. In particular, mooring line faults may lead to unacceptably high operation and maintenance costs due to the limited accessibility of FOWTs. Detecting the...journal article 2020
