Short summary
This study introduces a new way to manage floating offshore wind farms by combining different control approaches into one integrated system. Acting like a central brain, it decides how turbines should work together to capture more energy or follow grid demands. Simulations show that this integrated method outperforms individual approaches, making offshore wind power more efficient, flexible, and reliable.
