A power take-off and control strategy in a test wave energy converter for a moderate wave climate [PDF]
, 2016 The energy in the waves of oceans and seas can be converted to electricity by different types of Wave Energy Converters (WECs). Wave energy conversion is currently widely studied to contribute to the world’s rising energy needs.

European shags optimize their flight behavior according to wind conditions [PDF]
, 2016 Aerodynamics results in two characteristic speeds of flying birds: the minimum power speed and the maximum range speed. The minimum power speed requires the lowest rate of energy expenditure per unit time to stay airborne and the maximum range speed ...

Spectral Control of Wave Energy Converters with Non-Ideal Power Take-off Systems
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 Spectral control is an accurate and computationally efficient approach to power-maximising control of wave energy converters (WECs). This work investigates spectral control calculations with explicit derivative computation, applied to WECs with non-ideal
