This work covers selected control issues, including refined force tracking algorithm formulation, concerning the wind turbine tower-nacelle laboratory model equipped with a magnetorheological damper based tuned vibration absorber. The objective of the current research is a development and experimental implementation of the control algorithm that couples basic adaptive stiffness solution with stock magnetorheological damper force tracking concept to obtain a quality tower vibration reduction system. The experiments were conducted assuming monoharmonic, horizontal excitation applied to the assembly modelling the nacelle. The frequency range comprised the neighbourhood of the first bending mode of the tower-nacelle system. The results proved the effectiveness of the adopted algorithm referring to other high-performance solutions.
