Compared to fixed-bottom wind turbines, offshore floating wind turbines (OFWTs) are subject to more prominent forced vibrations that require control measures. Considering the limited space within the nacelle, this paper proposed a novel methodology for designing a tuned mass dampers (TMD) installed...
