Tóm tắt

We present a framework for optimizing the control parameters of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). The framework combines aeroelastic simulations with a systems engineering model and control software. In an example of the optimization framework, we minimize tower damage equivalent loading with generator speed constraints. We also study the effect of thrust-limiting control and quantify the trade off between fatigue loading and energy capture using a set of optimal controller designs. Finally, we optimize the controller of four different FOWT models and compare their dynamic responses. Additional details and other use cases for the framework are presented, which can optimize different control problems and evaluate FOWT designs.
