Damping of Torsional Vibrations in a Variable-Speed Wind Turbine
TL;DR: In this article, a model-based torsional damper was designed and its performance compared to the conventional approach when subjected to model uncertainty, and a real-time hardware-in-the-loop experiment was carried out, with experimental and simulation results showing good agreement.

Investigation of a Speed Exclusion Zone to Prevent Tower Resonance in Variable-Speed Wind Turbines
TL;DR: In this paper, a speed exclusion zone algorithm to prevent the rotor rotational frequency from exciting the side-side tower mode in a variable-speed wind turbine was designed, which was first tested on a simple wind turbine model developed in Simulink and then implemented and tested on an experimental test rig.
