   Wind Energy Science, 2026

   Abs DOI Bib HTML

   This paper introduces constant-gain and adaptive second-order sliding-mode observers for rotor-effective wind-speed estimation in floating offshore wind turbines. The methods are validated in OpenFAST and experimentally on a scaled software-in-the-loop platform.
