- The amplitudes were suppressed from about 18 and 60 to about 1.5 and 1.25 at resonance cases as well as respectively.
- The controlled system has an effectiveness and for the wind turbine system.
- The energy was transferred from the system before control to the system after adding the NPD controller at different values of natural, external excitation, and parametric excitation frequencies and .
- The behavior of the controlled system is a monotonic increasing function of the wind amplitude force and the parametric excitation force and is a monotonic decreasing function of the damping coefficient and control parameters and .
- The controlled system has a jump phenomenon with multiple solutions for positive and negative values of the nonlinear control parameter .
- The system amplitude before control has a nonlinear relation and a slightly increasing amplitude for large values of but it has a linear relation with small slope amplitudes after adding a controller.
- The system before control becomes stable, and periodic motion appears on Poincaré maps. The system also has a steady-state solution after control.
- The controlled system shows quasi-periodic motion and an unstable solution at
