Robust control of wave energy converters [PDF]
2014 IEEE Conference on Control Applications (CCA), 2014 Energy-maximising controllers for wave energy devices are normally based on linear hydrodynamic device models. Such models ignore nonlinear effects which typically manifest themselves for large device motion (typical in this application) and may also include other modelling errors. In this paper, we present a methodology for reducing the sensitivity to

Comments on Control of Wave Energy Converters
IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2021 The main objective of this letter is to consolidate the knowledge about the dynamics and control of oscillating-body wave energy converters (WECs). A number of studies have shown that control systems strongly affect power absorption; however, there remains a need for a concise and integrated explanation of the theoretical and practical implications ...

Adaptive Control of a Wave Energy Converter [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy, 2018 Energy maximizing controllers (EMCs), for wave energy converters (WECs), based on linear models, are attractive in terms of simplicity and computation. However, such (Cummins equation) models are normally built around the still water level as an equilibrium point and assume small movement, leading to poor model validity for realistic WEC motions ...

On the capture width of wave energy converters [PDF]
Applied Ocean Research, 2009 This paper extends the theory on capture width, a commonly used performance indicator for a wave energy converter (WEC). The capture width of a linear WEC is shown to depend on two properties: the spectral power fraction (a property introduced in this paper), which depends entirely on the sea state, and the monochromatic capture width, which is ...
