On the Optimization of Point Absorber Buoys [PDF]
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2014 A point absorbing wave energy converter (WEC) is a complicated dynamical system. A semi-submerged buoy drives a power take-off device (PTO), which acts as a linear or non-linear damper of the WEC system.
