Wind tunnel tests with combined pitch and free-floating flap control: data-driven iterative feedforward controller tuning

Wind turbine load alleviation has traditionally been addressed in the literature using either full-span pitch control, which has limited bandwidth, or trailing-edge flap control, which typically shows low control authority due to actuation constraints. This paper combines both methods and demonst...
