Use of Kane’s Method for Multi-Body Dynamic Modelling and Control of Spar-Type Floating Offshore Wind Turbines

This paper demonstrates the use of Kane’s method to derive equations motion for a spar-type floating offshore wind turbine taking into account flexibility members. The recently emerged reduces effort required complex multi-body systems, making them simpler model and more readily solved by computers. Further, installation procedure external vibration control devices on using is described, ease this has been demonstrated. A tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) installed in tower illustration. excellent mitigation properties TMDI are also presented paper.
