Tuning of Nacelle Feedback Gains for Floating Wind Turbine
When a turbine is mounted on a floating platform, the nacelle translates forward and backward relative to the wind. As the nacelle moves forward, its velocity relative to the wind increases.

Current designs of floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) systems are often influenced by the platform designs from the oil and gas industry and make use of wind turbines similar to land
The results indicate that under the coupling effects of wind, waves, and seismic forces, the monopile CFDST wind turbine tower system exhibits superior seismic performance,
The digitalization in structural engineering significantly amplified the importance of Structural Health Monitoring systems, especially in civil engineering and the renewable energy sector.
Further, in contrast to wind speed statistics, acceleration literally represents the forcing of the flow on turbine structures; as described later below, it does not require
Zhouquan Feng proposed a double-rope mooring system, which significantly reduces the vibration response of the floating wind turbine compared to the original single-rope
Therefore, in this paper, a strategy for estimating the thrust at the tower top and the bending moment at any position of the wind turbine tower is proposed, which only requires a

However, the prevalent wind power generation technologies have different problems, such as small output and low conversion efficiency. Hence, in this study, we propose a high-performance hybrid wind energy generator with a bidirectional acceleration structure.
Compact Wind Acceleration Turbines ( CWATs) are a class of wind turbine that uses structures to accelerate wind before it enters the wind-generating element. The concept of these structures has been around for decades but has not gained wide acceptance in the marketplace.
It is generally thought that since the amount of power produced by a wind turbine is proportional to the cube of the wind speed, any acceleration benefit is potentially statistically significant in the economics of wind.
CWATs are a new acronym that encompasses the class of machines formerly known as DAWTs (diffuser augmented wind turbines). The technologies mentioned above all use diffuser augmentation that is substantially similar to previous designs as the primary means of acceleration.
