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.Linnea Sjökvist, Remya Krishna, Magnus Rahm, Valeria Castellucci, Hagnestål Anders, Mats Leijon +5 moredoaj +2 more sourcesA Review of Point Absorber Wave Energy Converters
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 There are more than thousands of concepts for harvesting wave energy, and wave energy converters (WECs) are diverse in operating principles, design geometries and deployment manners, leading to misconvergence in WEC technologies.Bingyong Guo, Tianyao Wang, Siya Jin, Shunli Duan, Kunde Yang, Yaming Zhao +5 moredoaj +2 more sourcesPoint absorbers in Advanced LIGO [PDF]
Applied Optics, 2021 Small, highly absorbing points are randomly present on the surfaces of the main interferometer optics in Advanced LIGO. The resulting nanometer scale thermo-elastic deformations and substrate lenses from these micron-scale absorbers significantly reduce the sensitivity of the interferometer directly though a reduction in the power ...Aidan F.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2012 Absorption of wave energy may be considered as a phenomenon of interference between incident and radiated waves generated by an oscillating object; a wave-energy converter (WEC) that displaces water. If a WEC is very small in comparison with one wavelength, it is classified as a point absorber (PA); otherwise, as a ‘quasi-point absorber’.Johannes, Falnes, Jørgen, Halsopenaire +2 more sourcesControl of a Point Absorber Using Reinforcement Learning [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy, 2016 This work presents the application of reinforcement learning for the optimal resistive control of a point absorber. The model-free Q-learning algorithm is selected in order to maximise energy absorption in each sea state. Step changes are made to the controller damping, observing the associated penalty, for excessive motions, or reward, i.e.Enrico Anderlini, David I. M.

Physical Review Letters, 2003 The effect of quenched disorder on non-equilibrium phase transitions in the directed percolation universality class is studied by a strong disorder renormalization group approach and by density matrix renormalization group calculations. We show that for sufficiently strong disorder the critical behaviour is controlled by a strong disorder fixed point ...Hooyberghs, Jef, Igloi, Ferenc, Vanderzande, Carlo +2 moreopenaire +3 more sources
