The expected growth of floating offshore wind energy is remarkable, with the U.S. Department of Energy projecting exponential increases in installed capacity persisting over the next few decades [1] . Reductions in cost of energy that have attracted industry adoption have in part been brought about through control advancements, including the introduction of auxiliary feedback loops in addition to conventional single-input, single-output (SISO) controllers. However, industry projects tend to be risk-averse, favoring incremental pragmatic solutions to immediate problems [2] , so many sophisticated control methods in academia have not been applied at scale due to their complexity. There is a use-case for simple intuitive controllers that achieve improved performance without significantly increasing the complexity of the controller, such as structured multiloop control (see “Summary”).

漂浮式风力涡轮机的多回路控制：性能和稳定性的权衡


漂浮式海上风能的预期增长是显着的，美国能源部预计未来几十年装机容量将持续呈指数级增长 [1] 。吸引行业采用的能源成本降低在一定程度上是通过控制进步实现的，包括除了传统的单输入、单输出 （SISO） 控制器外，还引入了辅助反馈回路。然而，行业项目往往规避风险，倾向于针对眼前问题的渐进式务实解决方案 [2] ，因此学术界许多复杂的控制方法由于其复杂性而没有得到大规模应用。有一个用例是简单直观的控制器，可以在不显著增加控制器复杂性的情况下实现更高的性能，例如结构化多回路控制（参见“摘要”）。
