Structural control of floating wind turbines
TLDR
In this paper, a parametric investigation for a tuned mass damper system was performed to determine the optimal passive and active parameters for a floating barge-type wind turbine, and the performance was calculated as a function of active power consumption and stroke of the actuator.About:
