A Review of Floating Wind Turbine Controllers

A review of the most important contributions made towards designing and testing controllers for floating wind turbines is presented in this chapter. These controllers range in complexity, description detail, simulation results and testing styles, and floating platform structure. Furthermore, they have not yet been compared against each other quantitatively using the same simulation conditions. However, the attributes of each control approach documented in the literature are listed in this chapter. Several approaches that deal with the reduction of platform pitch damping are discussed such as the use of individual blade pitching and tuned mass dampers.
