A survey on control methods for the mitigation of tower loads

This report gives an overview of the prospects of a wind turbines control system to mitigate loads on the support structure. Well-known strategies already applied in in-dustry are being addressed as well as methods that are currently investigated in re-search. The survey has been compiled for Deliverable 4.1.1. of the project INNWIND.EU, founded by the European Commission (FP7-ENERGY.2012.2.3.1).
