Due to the rich and high quality of offshore wind resources floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) arouses the attentions of manyresearchers But on a floating platform the wave and wind induced loads can significantly affect power regulation and vibration ofthe structure Therefore reducing these loads becomes a challenging part of the design of the floating system To better alleviatethese fatigue loads a control system making compensations to these disturbances is proposed In this paper an individual pitchcontrol (IPC) system integrated with disturbance accommodating control (DAC) and model prediction control (MPC) throughfuzzy control is developed to alleviate the fatigue loads DAC is mainly used to mitigate the effects of wind disturbance and MPCcounteracts the effects of wave on the structure The new individual pitch controller is tested on the NREL offshore 5MW windturbine mounted on a barge with a spread-mooring system running in FAST operating above-rated condition Compared to theoriginal baseline collective pitch control (CPC) (Jonkman et al 2007) the IPC system shows a better performance in reducingfatigue loads and is robust to complex wind and wave disturbances as well
1 Introduction
Wind has been proved to be the most promising renewableenergy resource during the last few decades Compared toonshore wind turbines floating offshore wind turbines havemore potential to become a large contributor to society due tothe rich and high quality of offshore wind resource Howeveroffshore wind brings new problems to floating offshorewind turbines including additional wave loading unstableplatform and ice problems The above problems aggravatethe unbalanced fatigue loads of the structure Thereforereducing these fatigue loads becomes an extremely importantbut challenging part of the design of the floating system
Currently variable speed variable pitch wind turbines[1] simply use collective pitch control with PID controllerto limit the excess of wind power above rated wind speedneglecting the uneven loads distributed in the structure
However aerodynamic forces and wave influence on thestructure are different Hence the wind turbine and platformendure unbalanced loads all the way [2] IPC which hasexcellent performance in wind turbine control can be usedto alleviate the wind turbine fatigue loads caused mainly bywind and waves [3]
In the last few years some related works have been doneto explore the way to reduce these fatigue loads NationalRenewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) provides us with avariety of wind turbine models to test various kinds ofimportant features using FAST Jonkman has done a widerange of research work on the floating offshore wind turbineswith a baseline controller Bossanyi [4] introduced the IPCconception and reduced fatigue loads around one time therotational frequency (1p) The IPC used in [5 6] are basedon two separate single input single output (SISO) systemsUsing Coleman transformation the 1p variables of the blade

2 Abstract and Applied Analysis
loads can be transformed into stationary variables like rotortilt and yaw moments The SISO systems use PI controllersto reduce the tilt and yaw moments However FOWTis a strongly coupled nonlinear time-varying system withcomplex disturbances and obviously SISO cannot accountfor these disturbances This can be improved by 119867

in [7ndash10] sliding mode in [11 12] optimal control in [13 14]or linear quadratic Gaussian control (LQG) [15 16]The LQGcontroller consists of a linear model of the wind turbine anda state estimator used to estimate the states of themodel fromknown turbine variables byKalmanfilter A control lawwhichcanminimize the quadratic cost function of the wind turbinesates was used to make the control This method successfullybrings about a significant loads reduction but has no effect onthe fatigue loads of the stationary parts
Another way to deal with the strong disturbance isdisturbance-accommodating controllers implemented byNamik and Stol [17] on Spar-Buoyfloatingwind turbineDACcontroller consisted of a state regulation term with full statefeedback controllers and a disturbance estimator is used tolower the influence of persistent disturbances like turbulencewind on the wind turbine Compared to the original baselinecontroller designed by Jonkman theDAC reduces tower fore-aft and side-side bending fatigue loads greatly But the dis-turbance estimator in DAC did not consider much influenceof the wave To study the impact of wave on wind turbineBae and Kim [18] investigated the wave-load effect on 5 MWmonocolumn TLP-type FOWT The sum-frequency waveloading is applied in both coupled and uncoupled conditionthe results show that there exist complicated coupling effectsamong wind turbine variables and wave condition should befully considered when designing the FOWT
It is notable that the above method cannot bring allthe disturbances into consideration Wind as well as waveshould be fully considered In this paper a new individualpitch control based on combined DAC and MPC usingfuzzy control is proposed DAC can deal with persistentdisturbances like wind but ignore the wave who is a typeof periodic disturbance MPC can reduce the structuraloscillation and decrease the fatigue loads caused by incidentwaves through tracking the state trajectory of the undisturbedreference model So the new individual pitch control strategythat combines the two methods through fuzzy control canbetter deal with wind and wave disturbances
Section 2 introduces the configuration of the floatingoffshore wind turbine Section 3 gives a brief introduction tothe disturbances such as wind and wave Section 4 focuseson the design of the new controller First give a detailedintroduction to theDACandMPC and then a new individualpitch controller combined with DAC and MPC comes intobeing through fuzzy control In Section 5 the new individualpitch controller is tested and proved to be effective for thefatigue loads reduction
2 Wind Turbine Configurations
The wind turbine used in this paper is a model called ldquoNRELoffshore 5-MW baseline wind turbinerdquo from NREL This
is a realistic model of a three-bladed upwind 5-MW windturbine mounted on a barge with a spread-mooring systemdeveloped at MIT through a contract with NREL [19] Thegross properties of the wind turbine are given in Table 1 andthe platform properties are given in Table 2
3 Disturbance Loads Modeling
Wind turbine is not a static structure Due to rotatingrotor turbulent wind complex wave conditions huge slendercomponents and complex design the structural vibrationswhich can significantly contribute to dynamic fatigue loadingof the structure are introduced to the system Among all thefactors cause fatigue loads of wind turbine wave and windshould be first taken into consideration
31 Wind Loads Wind turbine components exposed in windcondition will cause movement because of aerodynamicsbetween wind flow and wind turbine structure That is thereason wind turbine can be used to generate electricity Windshear and tower shadowwill introduce additional disturbanceto the wind turbine systemWindmodel is important to loadsdefinition as well as design of the wind turbine and platformsystem The accuracy of wind parameters affects the designof wind turbine system significantly The wind load can bemodeled by formulas based on lift theory [20]

4 Controller Design
This section describes the new individual pitch controlbased on disturbance accommodating control with wave dis-turbance compensation component using model predictivecontrol method Furthermore a cooperation strategy usingfuzzy control was introduced to actively alleviate the fatigueloads caused by wave and wind disturbances
41 IPCwithDAC Disturbance accommodating control [23]which is a kind of feedforward control is an effective methodto reduce the influence caused by persistent disturbances likewind In this section the use of DAC on floating offshorewind turbine is introduced where the wind condition wasconsidered into the DAC system Since variables relatedto disturbances are assumed to be unavailable straightwaya disturbance estimator designed through variables whichcan directly be measured was employed To design the IPC
controller first a generic linearized state-space mode shouldbe described as
= 119860119909 + 119861119906 + 119861119889119906119889 (3)
119910 = 119862119909 + 119863119906 + 119863119889119906119889 (4)
where 119860 is the state matrix 119861 is the actuator gain matrix119861119889is the disturbance gain matrix 119862 is the measurements
to the states 119863 is the measurements to the control inputs119863119889is the measurements to the disturbance inputs 119909 relates
to the state variable vector 119910 relates to the system outputvector 119906 relates to the actuators vector and 119906
119889relates to
disturbance inputs vector In order to minimize the effectscaused by disturbances such as wind and platform persistentdisturbances should be first modeled by (5) and (6) where 119911 isthe disturbance states vector and 119866 and 119876 are assumed to beknown but with unknown initial conditions [24]The naturesof the assumed model can be determined by the matrices 119866
and 119876
119906119889= 119866119911 (5)
= 119876119911 (6)
The feedback control law that can deal with the effectsof disturbances on wind turbine is given by (7) where 119870
is the state feedback controller gain matrix and 119866119889is the
disturbance reduction gain matrix
119906 = minus119870119909 + 119866119889119911 (7)
Equation (8) can be derived from (3) (5) and (7) whichclearly shows that in order to cancel the effects of persistentdisturbances (9) must hold true
= (119860 minus 119861119870) 119909 + (119861119866119889+ 119861119889119866) 119911 (8)
119861119866119889+ 119861119889119866 = 0 (9)
A disturbance state estimator can be designed by a newstate vector120596which consists of turbine states and disturbancestatesThrough (3) to (6) a new a state-spacemodel is createdand given by
= 119860120596 + 119861119906
119910 = 119862120596 + 119863119906
(10)
where 119860 = [119860 119861119889119866
0 119876] 119861 = [
119861
0] and 119862 = [119862 119863
119889119866] The state
estimator dynamics are given by (11) and (12) where 119870119890is
the state estimator gain matrix The symbol indicates anestimate as follows
120596 = 119860 + 119861119906 + 119870119890(119910 minus 119910) (11)
119910 = 119862 + 119863119906 (12)
119890 = 120596 minus = 119860 (120596 minus ) minus 119870119890119862 (120596 minus ) = (119860 minus 119870
119890119862) 119890 (13)
Therefore if the pair (119860 119862) is observable then the aug-mented vector 120596 can be fully estimated [25]

42 Wave Disturbance Compensation to the DAC The IPCcontroller based on DAC takes the persistent disturbancelike wind into consideration but ignoring the wave who isa type of periodic disturbance In order to overcome theimpact brought about by the wave a compensation moduleis introduced and added to the DAC system This periodicdisturbance compensation module based on MPCmethod isadded to the DAC system through fuzzy control
421 Wave Disturbance Compensation Using MPC
(A) Model Predictive Controller In this paper to reducethe structural vibration caused by incident wave MPC wasutilized Model predictive control is a closed-loop optimiza-tion model-based control strategy The core of the algorithmis as follows a dynamic model can predict the futureonline repeated optimization and the model error feedbackcorrection The main idea of this method is that the bladesrsquopitch is controlled by a model predictive controller basedon a reference model without periodic disturbance fromincident waves Then the state trajectory of the undisturbedsystem which can be used as a reference to the real systemis produced by the reference model The model predictivecontrol will reduce the structural oscillation and decrease thefatigue loads caused by incident waves through tracking thestate trajectory of the undisturbed reference model
Assume that the model of the wave disturbance includedOFWT open-loop system is given in

At each iteration step the first value of input sequence119906(119896)is applied to the control systemThis process will repeat untilan optimal solution is foundThe initial states of the referencemodel can be seen as the initial states of the optimizationproblem The states of the reference model are updated ateach iteration step through a state estimator designed byextended Kalman filter The nonlinear system is linearized ateach sample time around the current state so the matrices ofthe model at current state can be updated as well
(B) State Estimator Since not all the variables used in themodel are directly available especially for the states relatedto disturbances like wind and wave a state estimator needto be designed by available measurements Here an extendedKalman filter is employed to estimate the unmeasured statesas described in above system Kalman filter is a recursive filterof high efficiency which can estimate the state of the dynamicsystem from a series of measurement with incomplete noiseBased on the wind turbine system model and disturbancemodel described in (1) and (2) an extended Kalman filteris implemented to estimate the unavailable states caused bydisturbances especially periodic disturbance like wave Formore detailed description of the estimator please refer to[26 27]

The control strategy is shown in Figure 2 which consistsof three modules a model predictive controller which canreduce the disturbance introduced by wave a state estimatorwho can estimate the states that cannot be measured directlyand a reference model which can provide a reference withoutdisturbance to the real disturbed system
422 Cooperation Strategy Using Fuzzy Control In thispaper Section 41 introduced the IPC based on DAC whotakes the persistent disturbance like wind into considerationbut ignoring the wave who is a type of periodic disturbanceThis means that DAC controller can effectively deal with thewind disturbance but wave disturbance And Section 421describes a method to overcome influence caused by thewave disturbance on FOWT using model predictive controlIn order to reduce or cancel the effect of both wind andwave disturbances on FOWT the model predictive controlcomponent is added to the DAC system by fuzzy logicmethod based on the wind and wave loads on the FOWTsystem The overall control strategy of FOWT is shown inFigure 3
Fuzzy control which is widely used in complex systemslike [10 29] is a type of intelligent control based on fuzzy settheory fuzzy linguistic variables and fuzzy logic inferenceThe design process of a fuzzy controller generally consistsof input and output variables definitions fuzzification stagerule base design and defuzzification stage Here the inputs

in [7ndash10] sliding mode in [11 12] optimal control in [13 14]or linear quadratic Gaussian control (LQG) [15 16]The LQGcontroller consists of a linear model of the wind turbine anda state estimator used to estimate the states of themodel fromknown turbine variables byKalmanfilter A control lawwhichcanminimize the quadratic cost function of the wind turbinesates was used to make the control This method successfullybrings about a significant loads reduction but has no effect onthe fatigue loads of the stationary parts
Another way to deal with the strong disturbance isdisturbance-accommodating controllers implemented byNamik and Stol [17] on Spar-Buoyfloatingwind turbineDACcontroller consisted of a state regulation term with full statefeedback controllers and a disturbance estimator is used tolower the influence of persistent disturbances like turbulencewind on the wind turbine Compared to the original baselinecontroller designed by Jonkman theDAC reduces tower fore-aft and side-side bending fatigue loads greatly But the dis-turbance estimator in DAC did not consider much influenceof the wave To study the impact of wave on wind turbineBae and Kim [18] investigated the wave-load effect on 5 MWmonocolumn TLP-type FOWT The sum-frequency waveloading is applied in both coupled and uncoupled conditionthe results show that there exist complicated coupling effectsamong wind turbine variables and wave condition should befully considered when designing the FOWT
It is notable that the above method cannot bring allthe disturbances into consideration Wind as well as waveshould be fully considered In this paper a new individualpitch control based on combined DAC and MPC usingfuzzy control is proposed DAC can deal with persistentdisturbances like wind but ignore the wave who is a typeof periodic disturbance MPC can reduce the structuraloscillation and decrease the fatigue loads caused by incidentwaves through tracking the state trajectory of the undisturbedreference model So the new individual pitch control strategythat combines the two methods through fuzzy control canbetter deal with wind and wave disturbances
Section 2 introduces the configuration of the floatingoffshore wind turbine Section 3 gives a brief introduction tothe disturbances such as wind and wave Section 4 focuseson the design of the new controller First give a detailedintroduction to theDACandMPC and then a new individualpitch controller combined with DAC and MPC comes intobeing through fuzzy control In Section 5 the new individualpitch controller is tested and proved to be effective for thefatigue loads reduction
2 Wind Turbine Configurations
The wind turbine used in this paper is a model called ldquoNRELoffshore 5-MW baseline wind turbinerdquo from NREL This
is a realistic model of a three-bladed upwind 5-MW windturbine mounted on a barge with a spread-mooring systemdeveloped at MIT through a contract with NREL [19] Thegross properties of the wind turbine are given in Table 1 andthe platform properties are given in Table 2
3 Disturbance Loads Modeling
Wind turbine is not a static structure Due to rotatingrotor turbulent wind complex wave conditions huge slendercomponents and complex design the structural vibrationswhich can significantly contribute to dynamic fatigue loadingof the structure are introduced to the system Among all thefactors cause fatigue loads of wind turbine wave and windshould be first taken into consideration
31 Wind Loads Wind turbine components exposed in windcondition will cause movement because of aerodynamicsbetween wind flow and wind turbine structure That is thereason wind turbine can be used to generate electricity Windshear and tower shadowwill introduce additional disturbanceto the wind turbine systemWindmodel is important to loadsdefinition as well as design of the wind turbine and platformsystem The accuracy of wind parameters affects the designof wind turbine system significantly The wind load can bemodeled by formulas based on lift theory [20]

4 Controller Design
This section describes the new individual pitch controlbased on disturbance accommodating control with wave dis-turbance compensation component using model predictivecontrol method Furthermore a cooperation strategy usingfuzzy control was introduced to actively alleviate the fatigueloads caused by wave and wind disturbances
41 IPCwithDAC Disturbance accommodating control [23]which is a kind of feedforward control is an effective methodto reduce the influence caused by persistent disturbances likewind In this section the use of DAC on floating offshorewind turbine is introduced where the wind condition wasconsidered into the DAC system Since variables relatedto disturbances are assumed to be unavailable straightwaya disturbance estimator designed through variables whichcan directly be measured was employed To design the IPC
controller first a generic linearized state-space mode shouldbe described as
= 119860119909 + 119861119906 + 119861119889119906119889 (3)
119910 = 119862119909 + 119863119906 + 119863119889119906119889 (4)
where 119860 is the state matrix 119861 is the actuator gain matrix119861119889is the disturbance gain matrix 119862 is the measurements
to the states 119863 is the measurements to the control inputs119863119889is the measurements to the disturbance inputs 119909 relates
to the state variable vector 119910 relates to the system outputvector 119906 relates to the actuators vector and 119906
119889relates to
disturbance inputs vector In order to minimize the effectscaused by disturbances such as wind and platform persistentdisturbances should be first modeled by (5) and (6) where 119911 isthe disturbance states vector and 119866 and 119876 are assumed to beknown but with unknown initial conditions [24]The naturesof the assumed model can be determined by the matrices 119866
and 119876
119906119889= 119866119911 (5)
= 119876119911 (6)
The feedback control law that can deal with the effectsof disturbances on wind turbine is given by (7) where 119870
is the state feedback controller gain matrix and 119866119889is the
disturbance reduction gain matrix
119906 = minus119870119909 + 119866119889119911 (7)
Equation (8) can be derived from (3) (5) and (7) whichclearly shows that in order to cancel the effects of persistentdisturbances (9) must hold true
= (119860 minus 119861119870) 119909 + (119861119866119889+ 119861119889119866) 119911 (8)
119861119866119889+ 119861119889119866 = 0 (9)
A disturbance state estimator can be designed by a newstate vector120596which consists of turbine states and disturbancestatesThrough (3) to (6) a new a state-spacemodel is createdand given by

119910 = 119862120596 + 119863119906

119889119866] The state
estimator dynamics are given by (11) and (12) where 119870119890is
the state estimator gain matrix The symbol indicates anestimate as follows
120596 = 119860 + 119861119906 + 119870119890(119910 minus 119910) (11)
119910 = 119862 + 119863119906 (12)
119890 = 120596 minus = 119860 (120596 minus ) minus 119870119890119862 (120596 minus ) = (119860 minus 119870
119890119862) 119890 (13)
Therefore if the pair (119860 119862) is observable then the aug-mented vector 120596 can be fully estimated [25]

42 Wave Disturbance Compensation to the DAC The IPCcontroller based on DAC takes the persistent disturbancelike wind into consideration but ignoring the wave who isa type of periodic disturbance In order to overcome theimpact brought about by the wave a compensation moduleis introduced and added to the DAC system This periodicdisturbance compensation module based on MPCmethod isadded to the DAC system through fuzzy control
421 Wave Disturbance Compensation Using MPC
(A) Model Predictive Controller In this paper to reducethe structural vibration caused by incident wave MPC wasutilized Model predictive control is a closed-loop optimiza-tion model-based control strategy The core of the algorithmis as follows a dynamic model can predict the futureonline repeated optimization and the model error feedbackcorrection The main idea of this method is that the bladesrsquopitch is controlled by a model predictive controller basedon a reference model without periodic disturbance fromincident waves Then the state trajectory of the undisturbedsystem which can be used as a reference to the real systemis produced by the reference model The model predictivecontrol will reduce the structural oscillation and decrease thefatigue loads caused by incident waves through tracking thestate trajectory of the undisturbed reference model
Assume that the model of the wave disturbance includedOFWT open-loop system is given in

At each iteration step the first value of input sequence119906(119896)is applied to the control systemThis process will repeat untilan optimal solution is foundThe initial states of the referencemodel can be seen as the initial states of the optimizationproblem The states of the reference model are updated ateach iteration step through a state estimator designed byextended Kalman filter The nonlinear system is linearized ateach sample time around the current state so the matrices ofthe model at current state can be updated as well
(B) State Estimator Since not all the variables used in themodel are directly available especially for the states relatedto disturbances like wind and wave a state estimator needto be designed by available measurements Here an extendedKalman filter is employed to estimate the unmeasured statesas described in above system Kalman filter is a recursive filterof high efficiency which can estimate the state of the dynamicsystem from a series of measurement with incomplete noiseBased on the wind turbine system model and disturbancemodel described in (1) and (2) an extended Kalman filteris implemented to estimate the unavailable states caused bydisturbances especially periodic disturbance like wave Formore detailed description of the estimator please refer to[26 27]
(C) Reference Model The Baseline control model imple-mented by Jonkman on the OFWT (5MW) used to studythe performance of the barge floating platform over ratedspeed condition [28] is selected to be the reference model toresemble the dynamics of the closed-loop system of a floatingwind turbine The control law of baseline control is given in(22) where 120579angle relates to the commanded pitch angle 119896

The control strategy is shown in Figure 2 which consistsof three modules a model predictive controller which canreduce the disturbance introduced by wave a state estimatorwho can estimate the states that cannot be measured directlyand a reference model which can provide a reference withoutdisturbance to the real disturbed system
422 Cooperation Strategy Using Fuzzy Control In thispaper Section 41 introduced the IPC based on DAC whotakes the persistent disturbance like wind into considerationbut ignoring the wave who is a type of periodic disturbanceThis means that DAC controller can effectively deal with thewind disturbance but wave disturbance And Section 421describes a method to overcome influence caused by thewave disturbance on FOWT using model predictive controlIn order to reduce or cancel the effect of both wind andwave disturbances on FOWT the model predictive controlcomponent is added to the DAC system by fuzzy logicmethod based on the wind and wave loads on the FOWTsystem The overall control strategy of FOWT is shown inFigure 3
Fuzzy control which is widely used in complex systemslike [10 29] is a type of intelligent control based on fuzzy settheory fuzzy linguistic variables and fuzzy logic inferenceThe design process of a fuzzy controller generally consistsof input and output variables definitions fuzzification stagerule base design and defuzzification stage Here the inputs

Themost important part of designing the fuzzy controlleris to design the rule base It stores the expert knowledgewhichgoverns the behavior of the fuzzy controller The control ruledescribed by the input variables 119865wave (wave force) 119865wind(wind force) and output variables 119862DAC and 119862MPC is givenIf 119865wave is 119868

4 Controller Design
This section describes the new individual pitch controlbased on disturbance accommodating control with wave dis-turbance compensation component using model predictivecontrol method Furthermore a cooperation strategy usingfuzzy control was introduced to actively alleviate the fatigueloads caused by wave and wind disturbances
41 IPCwithDAC Disturbance accommodating control [23]which is a kind of feedforward control is an effective methodto reduce the influence caused by persistent disturbances likewind In this section the use of DAC on floating offshorewind turbine is introduced where the wind condition wasconsidered into the DAC system Since variables relatedto disturbances are assumed to be unavailable straightwaya disturbance estimator designed through variables whichcan directly be measured was employed To design the IPC
controller first a generic linearized state-space mode shouldbe described as
= 119860119909 + 119861119906 + 119861119889119906119889 (3)
119910 = 119862119909 + 119863119906 + 119863119889119906119889 (4)
where 119860 is the state matrix 119861 is the actuator gain matrix119861119889is the disturbance gain matrix 119862 is the measurements
to the states 119863 is the measurements to the control inputs119863119889is the measurements to the disturbance inputs 119909 relates
to the state variable vector 119910 relates to the system outputvector 119906 relates to the actuators vector and 119906
119889relates to
disturbance inputs vector In order to minimize the effectscaused by disturbances such as wind and platform persistentdisturbances should be first modeled by (5) and (6) where 119911 isthe disturbance states vector and 119866 and 119876 are assumed to beknown but with unknown initial conditions [24]The naturesof the assumed model can be determined by the matrices 119866
and 119876
119906119889= 119866119911 (5)
= 119876119911 (6)
The feedback control law that can deal with the effectsof disturbances on wind turbine is given by (7) where 119870
is the state feedback controller gain matrix and 119866119889is the
disturbance reduction gain matrix
119906 = minus119870119909 + 119866119889119911 (7)
Equation (8) can be derived from (3) (5) and (7) whichclearly shows that in order to cancel the effects of persistentdisturbances (9) must hold true
= (119860 minus 119861119870) 119909 + (119861119866119889+ 119861119889119866) 119911 (8)
119861119866119889+ 119861119889119866 = 0 (9)
A disturbance state estimator can be designed by a newstate vector120596which consists of turbine states and disturbancestatesThrough (3) to (6) a new a state-spacemodel is createdand given by
= 119860120596 + 119861119906
119910 = 119862120596 + 119863119906
(10)
where 119860 = [119860 119861119889119866
0 119876] 119861 = [
119861
0] and 119862 = [119862 119863
119889119866] The state
estimator dynamics are given by (11) and (12) where 119870119890is
the state estimator gain matrix The symbol indicates anestimate as follows
120596 = 119860 + 119861119906 + 119870119890(119910 minus 119910) (11)
119910 = 119862 + 119863119906 (12)
119890 = 120596 minus = 119860 (120596 minus ) minus 119870119890119862 (120596 minus ) = (119860 minus 119870
119890119862) 119890 (13)
Therefore if the pair (119860 119862) is observable then the aug-mented vector 120596 can be fully estimated [25]

42 Wave Disturbance Compensation to the DAC The IPCcontroller based on DAC takes the persistent disturbancelike wind into consideration but ignoring the wave who isa type of periodic disturbance In order to overcome theimpact brought about by the wave a compensation moduleis introduced and added to the DAC system This periodicdisturbance compensation module based on MPCmethod isadded to the DAC system through fuzzy control
421 Wave Disturbance Compensation Using MPC
(A) Model Predictive Controller In this paper to reducethe structural vibration caused by incident wave MPC wasutilized Model predictive control is a closed-loop optimiza-tion model-based control strategy The core of the algorithmis as follows a dynamic model can predict the futureonline repeated optimization and the model error feedbackcorrection The main idea of this method is that the bladesrsquopitch is controlled by a model predictive controller basedon a reference model without periodic disturbance fromincident waves Then the state trajectory of the undisturbedsystem which can be used as a reference to the real systemis produced by the reference model The model predictivecontrol will reduce the structural oscillation and decrease thefatigue loads caused by incident waves through tracking thestate trajectory of the undisturbed reference model
Assume that the model of the wave disturbance includedOFWT open-loop system is given in
119909 (119896 + 1) = 119860120596119909 (119896) + 119861

At each iteration step the first value of input sequence119906(119896)is applied to the control systemThis process will repeat untilan optimal solution is foundThe initial states of the referencemodel can be seen as the initial states of the optimizationproblem The states of the reference model are updated ateach iteration step through a state estimator designed byextended Kalman filter The nonlinear system is linearized ateach sample time around the current state so the matrices ofthe model at current state can be updated as well
(B) State Estimator Since not all the variables used in themodel are directly available especially for the states relatedto disturbances like wind and wave a state estimator needto be designed by available measurements Here an extendedKalman filter is employed to estimate the unmeasured statesas described in above system Kalman filter is a recursive filterof high efficiency which can estimate the state of the dynamicsystem from a series of measurement with incomplete noiseBased on the wind turbine system model and disturbancemodel described in (1) and (2) an extended Kalman filteris implemented to estimate the unavailable states caused bydisturbances especially periodic disturbance like wave Formore detailed description of the estimator please refer to[26 27]
(C) Reference Model The Baseline control model imple-mented by Jonkman on the OFWT (5MW) used to studythe performance of the barge floating platform over ratedspeed condition [28] is selected to be the reference model toresemble the dynamics of the closed-loop system of a floatingwind turbine The control law of baseline control is given in(22) where 120579angle relates to the commanded pitch angle 119896

The control strategy is shown in Figure 2 which consistsof three modules a model predictive controller which canreduce the disturbance introduced by wave a state estimatorwho can estimate the states that cannot be measured directlyand a reference model which can provide a reference withoutdisturbance to the real disturbed system
422 Cooperation Strategy Using Fuzzy Control In thispaper Section 41 introduced the IPC based on DAC whotakes the persistent disturbance like wind into considerationbut ignoring the wave who is a type of periodic disturbanceThis means that DAC controller can effectively deal with thewind disturbance but wave disturbance And Section 421describes a method to overcome influence caused by thewave disturbance on FOWT using model predictive controlIn order to reduce or cancel the effect of both wind andwave disturbances on FOWT the model predictive controlcomponent is added to the DAC system by fuzzy logicmethod based on the wind and wave loads on the FOWTsystem The overall control strategy of FOWT is shown inFigure 3
Fuzzy control which is widely used in complex systemslike [10 29] is a type of intelligent control based on fuzzy settheory fuzzy linguistic variables and fuzzy logic inferenceThe design process of a fuzzy controller generally consistsof input and output variables definitions fuzzification stagerule base design and defuzzification stage Here the inputs

Themost important part of designing the fuzzy controlleris to design the rule base It stores the expert knowledgewhichgoverns the behavior of the fuzzy controller The control ruledescribed by the input variables 119865wave (wave force) 119865wind(wind force) and output variables 119862DAC and 119862MPC is givenIf 119865wave is 119868

2 then 119862DAC is 119862

2is 119862DAC
Since thewinddisturbance has larger influence on the FOWTthe value of 119862

1will decrease Similarly
when wave disturbance increases the value of 1198622will follow
the same law The detailed rule tables are shown in Tables 4and 5
5 Simulation and Results
To test the performance of the method proposed in thispaper the new individual pitch control based on combinedDAC and MPC using fuzzy control is implemented in FASTwhere the controller of the wind turbine is implemented in aDynamic Link Library (DLL) file called ldquoDISCONDLLrdquoTheFAST (Fatigue Aerodynamics Structures and Turbulence)code is a comprehensive aeroelastic simulator capable ofpredicting both the extreme and fatigue loads of two- andthree-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) Theoffshore FAST structure is shown in Figure 4
As a comparison ldquoNREL offshore 5-MW baseline windturbinerdquomodel whose detailed control parameter is describedin Table 3 is also run in FAST Both models operate aboverated wind speed (114ms) with complex wave conditionsFigure 5 shows the wind condition with average 15msturbulence wind speed and wave condition
The three blades can be controlled separately based ondifferent loads distributed on each blade due to the new indi-vidual pitch controller Figure 6 show that the three bladespitch angle changing individually with different wind and

42 Wave Disturbance Compensation to the DAC The IPCcontroller based on DAC takes the persistent disturbancelike wind into consideration but ignoring the wave who isa type of periodic disturbance In order to overcome theimpact brought about by the wave a compensation moduleis introduced and added to the DAC system This periodicdisturbance compensation module based on MPCmethod isadded to the DAC system through fuzzy control
421 Wave Disturbance Compensation Using MPC
(A) Model Predictive Controller In this paper to reducethe structural vibration caused by incident wave MPC wasutilized Model predictive control is a closed-loop optimiza-tion model-based control strategy The core of the algorithmis as follows a dynamic model can predict the futureonline repeated optimization and the model error feedbackcorrection The main idea of this method is that the bladesrsquopitch is controlled by a model predictive controller basedon a reference model without periodic disturbance fromincident waves Then the state trajectory of the undisturbedsystem which can be used as a reference to the real systemis produced by the reference model The model predictivecontrol will reduce the structural oscillation and decrease thefatigue loads caused by incident waves through tracking thestate trajectory of the undisturbed reference model

At each iteration step the first value of input sequence119906(119896)is applied to the control systemThis process will repeat untilan optimal solution is foundThe initial states of the referencemodel can be seen as the initial states of the optimizationproblem The states of the reference model are updated ateach iteration step through a state estimator designed byextended Kalman filter The nonlinear system is linearized ateach sample time around the current state so the matrices ofthe model at current state can be updated as well
(B) State Estimator Since not all the variables used in themodel are directly available especially for the states relatedto disturbances like wind and wave a state estimator needto be designed by available measurements Here an extendedKalman filter is employed to estimate the unmeasured statesas described in above system Kalman filter is a recursive filterof high efficiency which can estimate the state of the dynamicsystem from a series of measurement with incomplete noiseBased on the wind turbine system model and disturbancemodel described in (1) and (2) an extended Kalman filteris implemented to estimate the unavailable states caused bydisturbances especially periodic disturbance like wave Formore detailed description of the estimator please refer to[26 27]
(C) Reference Model The Baseline control model imple-mented by Jonkman on the OFWT (5MW) used to studythe performance of the barge floating platform over ratedspeed condition [28] is selected to be the reference model toresemble the dynamics of the closed-loop system of a floatingwind turbine The control law of baseline control is given in(22) where 120579angle relates to the commanded pitch angle 119896

Themost important part of designing the fuzzy controlleris to design the rule base It stores the expert knowledgewhichgoverns the behavior of the fuzzy controller The control ruledescribed by the input variables 119865wave (wave force) 119865wind(wind force) and output variables 119862DAC and 119862MPC is givenIf 119865wave is 119868

2 then 119862DAC is 119862

2is 119862DAC
Since thewinddisturbance has larger influence on the FOWTthe value of 119862

1will decrease Similarly
when wave disturbance increases the value of 1198622will follow
the same law The detailed rule tables are shown in Tables 4and 5
5 Simulation and Results
To test the performance of the method proposed in thispaper the new individual pitch control based on combinedDAC and MPC using fuzzy control is implemented in FASTwhere the controller of the wind turbine is implemented in aDynamic Link Library (DLL) file called ldquoDISCONDLLrdquoTheFAST (Fatigue Aerodynamics Structures and Turbulence)code is a comprehensive aeroelastic simulator capable ofpredicting both the extreme and fatigue loads of two- andthree-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) Theoffshore FAST structure is shown in Figure 4
As a comparison ldquoNREL offshore 5-MW baseline windturbinerdquomodel whose detailed control parameter is describedin Table 3 is also run in FAST Both models operate aboverated wind speed (114ms) with complex wave conditionsFigure 5 shows the wind condition with average 15msturbulence wind speed and wave condition
The three blades can be controlled separately based ondifferent loads distributed on each blade due to the new indi-vidual pitch controller Figure 6 show that the three bladespitch angle changing individually with different wind and

At each iteration step the first value of input sequence119906(119896)is applied to the control systemThis process will repeat untilan optimal solution is foundThe initial states of the referencemodel can be seen as the initial states of the optimizationproblem The states of the reference model are updated ateach iteration step through a state estimator designed byextended Kalman filter The nonlinear system is linearized ateach sample time around the current state so the matrices ofthe model at current state can be updated as well
(B) State Estimator Since not all the variables used in themodel are directly available especially for the states relatedto disturbances like wind and wave a state estimator needto be designed by available measurements Here an extendedKalman filter is employed to estimate the unmeasured statesas described in above system Kalman filter is a recursive filterof high efficiency which can estimate the state of the dynamicsystem from a series of measurement with incomplete noiseBased on the wind turbine system model and disturbancemodel described in (1) and (2) an extended Kalman filteris implemented to estimate the unavailable states caused bydisturbances especially periodic disturbance like wave Formore detailed description of the estimator please refer to[26 27]
(C) Reference Model The Baseline control model imple-mented by Jonkman on the OFWT (5MW) used to studythe performance of the barge floating platform over ratedspeed condition [28] is selected to be the reference model toresemble the dynamics of the closed-loop system of a floatingwind turbine The control law of baseline control is given in(22) where 120579angle relates to the commanded pitch angle 119896

6 Conclusions
In this paper a new individual pitch control is proposed toreduce the fatigue loads caused by wind and wave distur-bancesThe new controller consists of three modules DAC isa component aimed to eliminate the wind disturbancesMPCis a part who can remove the influence of wave disturbanceon the wind turbine and fuzzy control is used to combine thetwo algorithms tomake cooperation work Simulation results
Abstract and Applied Analysis 9
show that the new individual pitch controller shows excellentrobustness to turbulence wind and complex wave conditionsIn summary compared to the baseline pitch controllerthe new individual controller has a better performance inreducing fatigue loads caused by wind and wave disturbancesand therefore is more suitable for FOWT

Themost important part of designing the fuzzy controlleris to design the rule base It stores the expert knowledgewhichgoverns the behavior of the fuzzy controller The control ruledescribed by the input variables 119865wave (wave force) 119865wind(wind force) and output variables 119862DAC and 119862MPC is givenIf 119865wave is 119868

2 then 119862DAC is 119862

Since thewinddisturbance has larger influence on the FOWTthe value of 119862

when wave disturbance increases the value of 1198622will follow
the same law The detailed rule tables are shown in Tables 4and 5
5 Simulation and Results
To test the performance of the method proposed in thispaper the new individual pitch control based on combinedDAC and MPC using fuzzy control is implemented in FASTwhere the controller of the wind turbine is implemented in aDynamic Link Library (DLL) file called ldquoDISCONDLLrdquoTheFAST (Fatigue Aerodynamics Structures and Turbulence)code is a comprehensive aeroelastic simulator capable ofpredicting both the extreme and fatigue loads of two- andthree-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) Theoffshore FAST structure is shown in Figure 4
As a comparison ldquoNREL offshore 5-MW baseline windturbinerdquomodel whose detailed control parameter is describedin Table 3 is also run in FAST Both models operate aboverated wind speed (114ms) with complex wave conditionsFigure 5 shows the wind condition with average 15msturbulence wind speed and wave condition
The three blades can be controlled separately based ondifferent loads distributed on each blade due to the new indi-vidual pitch controller Figure 6 show that the three bladespitch angle changing individually with different wind and

6 Conclusions
In this paper a new individual pitch control is proposed toreduce the fatigue loads caused by wind and wave distur-bancesThe new controller consists of three modules DAC isa component aimed to eliminate the wind disturbancesMPCis a part who can remove the influence of wave disturbanceon the wind turbine and fuzzy control is used to combine thetwo algorithms tomake cooperation work Simulation results
Abstract and Applied Analysis 9
show that the new individual pitch controller shows excellentrobustness to turbulence wind and complex wave conditionsIn summary compared to the baseline pitch controllerthe new individual controller has a better performance inreducing fatigue loads caused by wind and wave disturbancesand therefore is more suitable for FOWT
