Wavelet linear quadratic regulator‐based gain scheduling for optimal fore‐aft vibration control of horizontal axis wind turbine tower using active tuned mass damper

This paper presents a wavelet‐based strategy for fore‐aft vibration control of onshore horizontal axis wind turbine tower. For this purpose, an active tuned mass damper is combined with an aero‐servo‐elastic turbine model in the multi‐body framework. The combined system is exposed to turbulent wind and seismic ground motion to investigate the controller performance in extreme operating conditions. The optimal tuning is achieved by frequency‐dependent gain scheduling via wavelet transform. Analytic Morse wavelet is used as a basis function for transforming the input and feedback to recast the classical linear quadratic regulator (LQR) in the time‐frequency domain over a finite time horizon. The scale‐dependent differential Riccati equations are solved for optimal gains, which are used to estimate the optimal control force. Numerical studies presented in this paper demonstrate the advantage of the proposed gain scheduling over classical LQR. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is verified using different flow conditions and seismic input, where the performance is compared with benchmark results.
