Blade pitch angle adjustments are crucial for mitigating the effects of increased turbulence intensity, which is a measure of the rapid fluctuations in wind speed and direction, especially prevalent in offshore environments. High turbulence intensity leads to inconsistent power output and increased mechanical stress on wind turbine components. The blade pitch system, usually controlled by a hydraulic, electric, or mechanical mechanism, adjusts the angle of the rotor blades relative to the incoming wind. When turbulence increases, the wind speed hitting the blades becomes more variable. Without pitch control, these sudden changes in wind speed would lead t....
