An H infinity controller based on a linear model that reduces fatigue damage of a wind turbine is designed. It is important that the system be robust, especially at 1 omega /sub r/ and 3 omega /sub r/, which are the most prominent rotational disturbances which act on the system. In order to avoid ac...
