This paper sorts out the effects of the individual and combined effects of wind and wave loads on the pitch of floating wind turbines. The anti-pitching effect of floating wind turbines with external stabilization devices such as tuned mass dampers, wave energy converters, and ship anti-rolling equipment are also explored. The mechanism of different anti-pitching measures is analyzed. Finally, this study indicates some problems that still need to be solved in future research of control strategy, arrangement form and application object.
