Abstract

This article studies a vibration and disturbance rejection problem of a wind turbine tower under exogenous perturbations. The tower dynamics is captured by a nonhomogeneous Euler-Bernoulli beam model. The dissipativity of the system is realized by a boundary feedback control solution with a multivalued symbolic function. A Lyapunov-based stability analysis is established to assess the deflection of the tower is uniformly bounded even subject to exogenous disturbances. The extended Filippov framework and Galerkin approximation scheme are introduced to tackle the existence of the solution to the system with a discontinuous control input. Simulation results demonstrate the performance of the proposed control scheme.
