AB The integration of renewable energy sources in power systems, specially wind energy, is growing asenvironmental concerns arise in society. Nevertheless, the low amount of viable sites onshore or in shallow watersrestricts the use of wind energy. In this sense, offshore semi-submersible platforms appear as an option, which inaddition enables the integration of complementary elements, for instance wave energy converters. However, thecomplexity of the system increases due to the interactions between the platform movements and the wind turbine,and traditional control techniques do not enable to cope with these interactions in an easy way, hence limiting theefficiency of energy harvesting. Intelligent control techniques are an option with a great potential to take full accountof the said interactions and to improve energy production efficiency. Still, it is required to have simulation modelsincluding those effects beforehand, so that the effects of a designed controller on the system can be evaluated. Thispaper presents an original fuzzy logic controller that tunes a reference controller, improving its performanceaccording to a developed methodology that allows evaluation of controllers for wind turbines in semi-submersibleplatforms. The resulting fuzzy logic controller allows higher efficiency concerning mechanical loads in the system,electric energy production and tracking error of the speed reference.
