RT Journal Article T1 Review of control technologies for floating offshore wind turbines A1 López-Queija, Javier A1 Robles, Eider A1 Jugo, Josu A1 Alonso-Quesada, Santiago AB Floating offshore wind growth places the industry development close to commercial scale. However, the harsh environment with strong winds, waves, and currents, together with the increasing size of wind turbines and floater motions could affect power production and reduce system lifetime due to fatigue loads. In any case, operating the wind turbine close to the optimum efficiency value guaranteeing its reliability through fatigue load reduction could be achieved with a proper control strategy. This paper proposes a critical review of the state-of-art of floating wind turbine control technologies, discussing the advantages and drawbacks of the most used control algorithms and classifying them, to summarize the future trends of the research.
