Model-based fault detection, fault isolation and fault-tolerant control of a blade pitch system in floating wind turbines

This paper presents model-based fault detection, fault isolation, and fault-tolerant control schemes focused on blade pitch systems in floating wind turbines. Fault detection, isolation, and accommodation techniques are required to achieve high power capture efficiency and structural reliability in floating wind turbines. Faults in blade pitch systems should be detected at an early stage to prevent catastrophic failures. To detect faults of the …
