A method of controlling wake in a floating wind park is provided. The method includes monitoring a wind condition at at least one of the plurality of floating wind turbines to generate at least a first monitored wind condition, monitoring one or more parameters indicative of a position and/or orientation of at least one of the plurality of floating wind turbines to generate at least a first monitored floating motion state and generating a control parameter based on a parameter set comprising at least the first monitored wind condition and the first monitored floating motion state. The control parameter is derived so as to reduce the wake influence on the downstream wind turbine. The method further includes controlling based on the control parameter, an operation of at least one of the plurality of floating wind turbines.

Control of a wind park with floating turbines

A wind turbine includes tower, a nacelle mounted at the top of the tower, a rotor mounted rotatable relatively to the nacelle about a rotation axis and includes at least one blade, wherein the blade, when rotating about the rotation axis, is configured to span a swept area, and a control device which is configured to control an actuator so as to move the swept area.

Wind turbine comprising reciprocating swept area and method of controlling a wind turbine

Provided is a control system for stabilizing a floating wind turbine, the comprising a detection device for monitoring an offset from a predetermined floater pitch angle and/or an offset from a predetermined floater yaw angle, wherein the detection device is further configured for monitoring an oscillating motion of the floater pitch angle and/or the floater yaw angle, wherein the predetermined floater pitch angle and floater yaw angle define a predetermined balanced state of the floating wind turbine, wherein a threshold of the oscillating motion of the floater pitch angle and the oscillating motion of the floater yaw angle further define the predetermined balanced state of the floating wind turbine, and an actuation device configured for manipulating the oscillating motion of the floater pitch angle and/or the oscillating motion of the floater yaw angle until the predetermined balanced state of the floating wind turbine is met.
