An approach for multiple-feedback control of generator power and nacelle fore-aft speed employing blade pitch and generator torque manipulations was developed for a spar-type floating offshore wind turbine-generator system. The development of this approach was carried out through numerical analysis using the aeroelastic simulation model (FAST), measured high wind speed data, and simulated irregular sea waves. The novelty of this multiple-feedback control approach is the increase of the generator torque in response to the platform pitching motion to the leeward side and the control of the generator power instead of the rotational speed. First, theoretical analysis of the open loop transfer function revealed that the multiple-feedback control approach improves the stability of the generator power control in the floating offshore wind turbine-generator system. Then, the optimal parameter settings of the multiple feedback control were determined and the effectiveness of employing a first-order lag filter for the nacelle fore-aft speed was shown through a sensitivity analysis. A comparison of system performances demonstrated that the multiple-feedback control approach reduces the power output fluctuation, the platform pitching motion, and the damage equivalent fatigue load of the fore-aft bending moment at the tower-base part by 52%, 22%, and 16%, respectively, relative to the gain-scheduled feedback control of the rotational speed.
