System for impressed current cathodic protection
A system provides impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) of a marine structure (50) and powers a load in a load arrangement (100) arranged on the marine structure (50) and in contact with the water (10). The power source provides a supply current to generate an electrical potential of the marine structure. The load arrangement (100) has an electrode arranged (130) to extend from the load arrangement into the water for transferring the supply current via the water. The load (20) is coupled between the electrode (130) and a power node (120). The power source is connected to the marine structure and to the power node. The load arrangement is arranged to use the supply current to provide power to the load. Thereto the supply voltage may have an AC component at a high frequency. The load may be an UV-C LED for emitting anti-fouling light.

WIND TURBINE CONTROL
A controller is provided for a floating wind turbine including a rotor with a number of rotor blades connected to a generator. The controller includes an active damping controller for calculating one or more outputs for damping both a first motion of the floating wind turbine in a first frequency range and a second motion of the floating wind turbine in a second frequency range based on an input of the first motion and an input of the second motion, The controller is arranged to calculate an output for controlling a blade pitch of one or more of the rotor blades and/or for controlling a torque of the generator based on an actual rotor speed, a target rotor speed, and the one or more outputs from the active damping controller such that both the first motion and the second motion will be damped.
