Short summary
Floating offshore wind turbines unlock vast wind resources in deep waters, but platform motion makes wind speed hard to measure directly. This study develops an estimation method that infers wind speed from rotor rotation alone, using sliding-mode observer theory. Tested in a high-fidelity simulator and validated in a wave-tank experiment, the proposed method achieves comparable or superior accuracy to the Kalman filter, with simpler tuning, faster computation, and greater robustness.
