Review on Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Models for Nonlinear Control Design

This article proposes a review of the modeling approaches for floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) nonlinear control design. The aerodynamic, hydrodynamic and mooring line dynamic modules FOWT have been reviewed to provide an overview several with their respective features. Next, three control-oriented models from literature are revisited by presenting methodological identification. These cover most popular types FOWTs. Then, performances these validated open fatigue, aerodynamics, structures, turbulence (OpenFAST) code, evaluated according criteria. Finally, one is used illustrate second-order sliding mode based on twisting algorithm optimize performance in terms energy extraction reduction platform pitch oscillation.
