Publication Information Abstract Floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) design involves many physics disciplines, including structural dynamics, aerodynamics, mooring system dynamics, hydrodynamics, and controls. In traditional engineering design practices, control design is generally left for a later stage of the design process, while plant design decisions, including geometrical shapes and sizes, are made with simple control assumptions. However, when there is a strong design coupling between plant and control designs, this sequential approach may not produce system-optimal solutions. To account for …
