Abstract:	Offshore Wind Turbines (OWT) may experience excessive vibration levels caused by the actions of wind, waves, rotor torque, and seismic loads. To suppress the vibrations of these primary structures, the Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) is a widely used passive control alternative. Briefly, it is a damper that transfers the kinetic energy from the main structure to a secondary mass usually attached to the hub. These devices need to be finely tuned with a target self-vibration mode of the primary structure to work as dampers, otherwise, they could amplify structural vibrations. This thesis presents optimal parameters of a Pendulum-TMD (PTMD) to mitigates structural vibrations of OWTs levels. The PTMD is examined on a National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) monopile 5 MW baseline wind turbine model using analytical and numerical procedures, such as a 2-degree-of-freedom (2DOF), spectral elements (SEM), and finite elements (FEM). Following design standards of OWTs structures wind and wave spectra computation, as well as the evaluation of the hydrodynamic and aerodynamic loads by computing the resultant peak displacement response at the OWT hub by a Power Spectral Density (PSD) analysis. In the validation of the OWT models, a result comparison is made with the NREL OpenFAST, finding good matching between the results. An in-house built Genetic Algorithm (GA) toolbox, coded in MATLAB® , is used then to optimally design parameters of a PTMD attached to the OWT. The chosen GA fitness function targets a minimization of the peak responses. The design parameters of the PTMD are the flexural rigidity and damping, the mass ratio, and the pendulum length.
