Data from: The design of an intelligent fault-tolerant control for floating offshore wind turbine with blade faults

The great efficiency and deep-sea suitability of floating offshore wind
turbines (FOWTs) have led to their rapid development. It is also extremely
difficult to regulate FOWTs. Two major obstacles are the increased
component failure rate and the difficulty of accurately modelling FOWTs.
For that reason, this study suggests a model-free adaptive fault-tolerant
control strategy to deal with problems caused by blade root moment
sensors. In order to sidestep the need to mathematically describe FOWT, a
fault compensation and individual pitch controller are developed using a
model-free adaptive control technique. Instead of requiring fault
detection and isolation, the suggested fault-tolerant control scheme turns
fault dynamic compensation into a nonlinear system's control issue
that has to be solved in real-time. By simulating and testing the
suggested control method using FAST, we find that it not only keeps the
wheel's bearing load balanced, but it also greatly reduces the
FOWT's bearing load and the floating platform's movement. Also,
the strategy's great fault tolerance capabilities under numerous
blade root moment sensor failures is confirmed by the fact that the output
power is closer to the rated power.
