Strat{\'e}gies de contr{\^o}le pour les {\'e}oliennes flottantes : {\'e}tat de l'art et perspectives

Abstract

The floating wind turbines sector has great energy potential. However, minimizing the movement of the structure under the combined effect of wind and waves while ensuring maximum power extraction over a wide operating range is one of the main challenges for the control of these turbines. This paper presents a review of control methods for floating wind turbines from the recent literature. The limitations of these controllers are discussed, before introducing a presentation of several promising data-based methods. In particular, this paper focuses on artificial intelligence techniques associated with data-based control methods. Finally, the CREATIF project dealing with real-time simulation of floating wind turbines and their intelligent controls is presented.
