Abstract
The dynamic induction control wake mixing strategy has the potential to increase the energy yield of floating wind farms. These floating turbines will be subjected to surface waves, caused by the wind, and swell. When dynamic induction control is applied in open-loop, the effect of second-order wave forces and dynamic induction control on the thrust force can be out-of-phase and have destructive interference. In this work, we propose a method to synchronize the dynamic induction control input to the effect of the second-order wave forces. This is achieved by formulating the synchronization problem within an H∞ optimization framework and designing a controller that minimizes the difference between the effect of wave-induced thrust variation and thrust variation. Time domain simulations show that synchronization at a desired frequency can be achieved and that the overall performance of the dynamic induction control method can be enhanced.
