Abstract
In this work we present a control architecture to reduce the vibration of the tower of a wind turbine (WT) using the pitch angle. The parameters of the active tower damping (ATD) control are optimized by the simulated annealing algorithm, which imitates the physical process of steel hardening. To validate the approach, a linearized model of a 5 MW turbine is used at 13 m/s of wind speed. Results show how the optimized active tower damping is able to dampen the oscillations and thus, the peaks and the amplitude of the vibrations are much smaller. This allows to increase the efficiency and reduce the fatigue of the WT.
