A Comparative Study of Model Predictive Control and Optimal Causal Control for Heaving Point Absorbers

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Efforts by various researchers in recent years to design simple causal control laws that can be applied to WEC devices suggest that these controllers can yield similar levels of energy output as those of more complex non-causal controllers. However, most

A Flexible Chain Proposal for Winch-Based Point Absorbers

open access: yesJournal of Mechanical Design, 2018
Ocean wave power is a promising renewable energy source. It has, however, been difficult to find a cost-effective solution to convert wave energy into electricity. The harsh marine environment and the fact that wave power is delivered with large forces at low speed make design of durable mechanical structures and efficient energy conversion challenging.

Research on vibration reduction performance of dynamic vibration absorber based on damping characteristic of a new material

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2020
The absorbing effect of traditional dynamic vibration absorber (TDVA) is satisfactory only when the natural frequency is close to the excitation frequency.

Brock's approaching zero method improved as approaching fixed point frequency to solve optimum damping ratio of dynamic vibration absorber in machine tools and experimental confirmation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
The design parameters of the dynamic vibration absorber significantly affect the motion performance of the main vibration system. The Brock's approaching zero method was improved as approaching the fixed point frequency method.

Incorporating Mooring Dynamics into the Control Design of a Two-Body Wave Energy Converter

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Mooring systems are a critical component of all floating wave energy converter (WEC) systems, yet the impact of amooring system on the WEC dynamics is often neglected during the initial assessment of candidate designs.
