Abstract: To avoid the harmful effects of global warming on the earth planet and its atmosphere, the expansion of wind energy consumption based on new control techniques leads to improved energy capacity. The development of wind power plants on the sea is more efficient owing to the stronger wind flows in comparison with the onshore structure. Furthermore, stable installation of the offshore wind energy base meets the energy management requirements of today's consumers. As a result, dependency on fossil fuels as the main source of global warming decreases. The feedback control system and on-line sensor signals provide the stability and increased efficiency of the floating wind turbine. The aggressive environment and large size structure of the turbine lead to entering uncertainty in the turbine model and exogenous noises that should not be effectively compensated by conventional control methods. Therefore, a radial based functional neural network (RBFNN) controller is proposed to estimate and compensate the effect of uncertainty on feedback control of the wind turbine. For comparison purposes, a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) state feedback is also developed for optimal control of the floating wind turbines. The neural network adaptively determines the upper bound of uncertainty/noise. Therefore, conservative high-gain control actions to achieve robustness of the classical feedback controllers against structural deviations of the turbine body are decreased. In our newly proposed adaptive control algorithm, using a basic raised cosine function guides to restore the computational efficiency of RBFNN. With the Lyapunov-based stability analysis, the final limits of the closed-loop system and the convergence caused by the terminal sliding mode (TSM) tracking error are determined. Detailed software simulations of both the LQR and the designed RBFNN control systems indicate the superiority of the neural network-based approach.
