MOORING LINE DAMPING ESTIMATION FOR A FLOATING WIND TURBINE

Mooring Line Damping Estimation for a Floating Wind Turbine

The dynamic responses of mooring line serve important functions in the station keeping of a floating wind turbine (FWT).Mooring line damping significantly influences the global motions TurboFlo II Parts of a FWT.This study investigates the estimation of mooring line damping on the basis of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory 5 MW offshore wind

Mixture Basis Function Approximation and Neural Network Embedding Control for Nonlinear Uncertain Systems with Disturbances

A neural network embedding learning control scheme is proposed in this paper, which addresses the performance optimization problem of a class of nonlinear system with unknown dynamics and disturbance by combining with a novel nonlinear function approximator and an improved disturbance observer (DOB).We investigated a mixture basic function (MBF) to
