Floating offshore wind growth places the industry development close to commercial scale.
However, the harsh environment with strong winds, waves, and currents, together with the …

During the past decade, the development of offshore wind energy has transitioned from near
shore with shallow water to offshore middle-depth water regions. Consequently, the energy …

Compared to onshore wind power, floating offshore wind power is a promising renewable
energy source due to higher wind speeds and larger suitable available areas. However …

The flow-field around the rotor blades of an FOWT may be significantly influenced by the six
rigid-body motions of the floating platform via the blade–wake interaction. Therefore, the …

Due to the dissimilar scaling issues, the conventional experimental method of FOWTs can
hardly be used directly to validate the full-scale global dynamic responses accurately …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of advanced control methods specifically
designed for floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) above the rated wind speed. Focusing …

The application of floating offshore wind turbines means better exploitation of offshore wind
resources. However, the six-degree of freedom motion characteristics of floating platforms …

The offshore wind resource has huge energy potential. However, wind turbine floating
structures have to withstand harsh conditions. Strong wind and wave effects combine to …

In this work a nonlinear model predictive controller with individual pitch control for a floating
offshore wind turbine is presented. An aerodynamic model of the collective pitch control …

Within the rapidly growing wind energy sector, floating offshore wind turbines are expected
to be the fastest growing portion. This is largely driven by the immense offshore wind …
