In this paper, we present an advanced wind turbine control scheme for power maximization as well as for active power control, which is designed using H∞ loop-shaping. Our approach involves the synthesis of two separate controllers for two different operating modes. To ensure smooth transitions between these modes, we implement a bumpless transfer strategy that reduces transient effects. A comprehensive case study demonstrates the efficacy of our control scheme, showing significant improvements in power tracking accuracy and a reduction in mechanical wear. Moreover, our control strategy comes with robust stability guarantees.
