“…The FWT and MCT control problem was discussed in the previous sections, with consideration given to the specific control criteria for each kind of generator. Previous research [7,[49][50][51][52][53] proposed an integrated generation system that presents different advantages. The control algorithm considers the interaction of the two integrated generation subsystems (WT and MCT, see Figure 5) to take advantage of the FWT and MCT generation jointly.…”

This work presents a series of devices that generate renewable energy from the marine environment which, in recent years, have aroused increasing interest. In particular, the main types of floating wind generators and marine current turbines are described. Over time, some of these floating generators have evolved in various hybrid modalities, integrating different generation devices into the same system, wind turbines, marine current turbines, wave energy converters, etc., with the objective of multiplying their generation capacity and optimizing the investment made in the floating system. However, this hybridization offers, in some cases, an opportunity to address the problem of controlling the structural stability of the system. Such stability enhancement has been considered a major challenge since the early days of floating wind turbine design. With this objective, in this work, a specific solution is proposed, consisting of a floating hybrid system composed of a wind generation subsystem and a generation subsystem with two marine current turbines. This proposal allows the development of an integrated control system which deals simultaneously with the structural stability of the system and the optimization of the generation capacity. Additionally, other requirements are also highlighted relating to the achievement of economic viability objectives, considering the reliability and availability of the system in the particularly aggressive marine environment, where maintenance operations are especially costly. In this sense, a model of intelligent integration of the tasks of supervision, diagnosis, and predictive maintenance is proposed.

This initial publication is part of a series of publications that will appear soon, which pursue a final objective for the proposal of a fully integrated and controlled hybrid system composed of a floating wind turbine—type “OC3-Hywind”—and two marine current turbines with the aim of increasing the energy generated by the floating installation and, at the same time, use the set of turbines as actuators as part of an integral cooperative control system of the floating hybrid system to ensure the structural stability of the floating hybrid generator system (FHGS) in harsh weather conditions, which is a key issue in this type of floating systems. A specially designed tool to design, analyze, and control this type of FHGSs was developed using Matlab®. In this tool, named Floating Hybrid Generator Systems Simulator (FHYGSYS), several tests were carried out on the structural stability of the system considering the interactive phase of the acting forces. Working in a programming environment like Matlab® allows design freedom and the possibility of evaluating the system with different geometries, aerodynamic airfoils, and external meteorological conditions, and also including or eliminating certain elements, etc. This versatility will be helpful in future studies aimed at evaluating this system and maximizing the production of energy.
