Comparative study of nonlinear and linear models with and without blade degrees of freedom for vibration control of floating offshore wind turbine tower

Key Points

• Vibration control significantly improves when considering degrees of freedom, enhancing turbine performance and stability.
• The most effective vibration control achieved with nonlinear models compared to linear counterparts, indicating superior adaptability to dynamic loads.
• Analysis evaluates both models by examining their mechanical response under various environmental conditions on offshore platforms.
• Results suggest the integration of blade degrees of freedom may enhance control strategies for wind turbine towers in marine settings.
