Dynamics of Heaving Buoy Wave Energy Converters with a Stiffness Reactive Controller
Energies, 2020 Heaving buoy wave energy converters (WEC) are floating oscillators, commonly modeled as single-degree-of-freedom vibrating systems. As the wave frequencies change according to the sea state, these devices must be controlled to maximize energy absorption.
