Hi,
I have this basic question. I want to use wave information as a feedforward/preview control to cope with tower loading and platform pitch damping of floating offshore wind turbine, is it possible to realize such a system in FAST?
Edit: taking into consideration, wave disturbance cannot be added to FAST linearization, how should one design a controller to tackle wave disturbance
Dear Kamran,
I’m not an expert in this subject, but my guess is there would be a way to come up with a periodic disturbance generator using a system-identification approach to mimic wave excitation that the linear model could be augmented with outside of FAST if this was useful for controls-design purposes. I suggest reviewing the literature to see what has been done by others.
Best regards,
