Bearings in Wave Energy Converters
, 2021 Wave energy and wave energy converters is a fast rapidly developing field of research and energy harvesting. In recent years, more and more designs have seen operational success, and more and more are in development. Wave energy converters face a challenge not properly explored until recently, high loaded, oscillating motion in a highly hostile ...

Control of wave energy converters
, 2015 In this thesis, two types of control problems related to wave energy converters are studied. The first type of control problem is active force control. We propose a simple optimal control problem formulation for which, in theory, there is no convexity guarantee.

On the Generator Constraint Design of a Wave Energy Converter at a Pre-Sizing Stage
, 2015 International audienceThis paper deals with the constraint pre-design of the energy conversion chain for a wave energy converter application. At the first step, and because the control input is the torque (or the linear force) delivered by the generator,
