Self-stabilising floating wind turbine Self-stabilising floating wind turbine is a concept designed primarily to enable wind turbines to be mounted on fixed or mobile floating platform with the aim of increasing the production efficiency, enhancing structural stability and mobility and optimisation of floating structure.

Mechanism
Design have been proposed with a single-degree-of-freedom hinge at rotor-tower interface where only one degree of freedom released. It has been shown that the combined gravitational and gyroscopic effects of rotor-blade provide a self-stabilisation mechanism which keeps blades facing wind even when the tower is tilted due to oscillations of base floater, while aerodynamic damping provided by the blades help damp unwanted vibrations.
