Modelling of floating wind turbine for model predictive control applications to investigate turbine performance and aero-servo-hydroelastic instabilities

FOWTs pose several control challenges. This work addresses reduced order modelling of FOWT to develop an MPC. They key objective is tackle the platform pitch instability while improving the performance in other KPIs. An existing reduced order model, which considers platform pitch and surge, and rotor speed DOFs is adapted and extended, with...
