Vibration Control of Offshore Wind Turbines via Particle Swarm Optimized Tuned Mass Dampers

With the growing global emphasis on sustainable energy, offshore wind power has become a key solution due to its environmental advantages and strong energy generation potential. However, offshore wind turbines face significant structural challenges caused by dynamic marine conditions. The present study utilizes Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to enhance the efficiency of a tuned mass damper designed for vibration mitigation in an offshore wind turbine structure. By optimizing the damper parameters, the system effectively reduces structural vibrations, contributing to improved energy efficiency, extended turbine lifespan, and increased operational stability. The results highlight the importance of intelligent optimization methods in advancing the reliability and performance of offshore renewable energy systems, supporting the transition toward a more sustainable energy future.
