“…The developed controllers tackled generator torque and pitch angle of the blades. Furthermore, Sang et al [63] developed cyclic and collective pitch controllers for a two-bladed floating turbine utilizing FAST solver. It has been concluded that using such control strategies can help reduce loadings on floating offshore wind turbines.…”

Offshore wind turbines are becoming increasingly popular due to their higher wind energy harnessing capabilities and lower visual pollution. Researchers around the globe have been reporting significant scientific advancements in offshore wind turbines technology, addressing key issues, such as aerodynamic characteristics of turbine blades, dynamic response of the turbine, structural integrity of the turbine foundation, design of the mooring cables, ground scouring and cost modelling for commercial viability. These investigations range from component-level design and analysis to system-level response and optimization using a multitude of analytical, empirical and numerical techniques. With such wide-ranging studies available in the public domain, there is a need to carry out an extensive yet critical literature review on the recent advancements in offshore wind turbine technology. Offshore wind turbine blades’ aerodynamics and the structural integrity of offshore wind turbines are of particular importance, which can lead towards system’s optimal design and operation, leading to reduced maintenance costs. Thus, in this study, our focus is to highlight key knowledge gaps in the scientific investigations on offshore wind turbines’ aerodynamic and structural response. It is envisaged that this study will pave the way for future concentrated efforts in better understanding the complex behavior of these machines.

Wind energy is an effective and promising renewable energy source to produce electrical energy. Wind energy conversion systems (WECS) have been developing on a wide scale worldwide. The expansion of wind energy demand tends to produce high-quality output power in terms of grid integration. Due to the intermittent nature of wind energy, great challenges are found regarding WECS modeling, control, and grid integration. This paper introduces a comprehensive review of WECS and their grid-interface systems based on soft computing methods. To achieve this aim, more than 300 articles are organised and only 160 papers are presented in this review. This is intended to cover a broad range of topics concerning the configurations of WECS, electrical generators, and various topologies of power converters used for control and grid integration. Furthermore, international grid codes for wind energy integration with electric grids, particularly frequency, power factor, and low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability are investigated. The major controller approaches and topologies for grid and generator converters are discussed. Different aspects of modern control of WECS are introduced either for grid-side or generator-side. Moreover, control strategies for maximum power point tracking methods are compared along with methods of frequency control. This review paper introduces a comprehensive and a useful summery for the recent work in literature regarding WECS. Detailed modelling, control, and grid integration along with comparisons and discussion are introduced.
