A new latching control technology for improving wave energy conversion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Extracting wave energy from seas has been proven to be very difficult although various technologies have been developed since 1970s. Among the proposed technologies, only few of them have been actually progressed to the advanced stages such as sea trials

System Identification of a Heaving Point Absorber: Design of Experiment and Device Modeling

open access: yesEnergies, 2017
Empirically based modeling is an essential aspect of design for a wave energy converter. Empirically based models are used in structural, mechanical and control design processes, as well as for performance prediction.

Wave-to-grid (W2G) control of a wave energy converter

open access: yesEnergy Conversion and Management: X, 2022
Grid integration of wave energy involves various power train stages from device to grid, such as a power take-off stage, a power conversion stage, and a power conditioning stage. The coupled performance of the complete wave-to-grid system depends heavily

WAVE ENERGY CONVERTER WITH WAVE ABSORBING CONTROL

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 2018
The wave absorbing control using wave sensors was theorized and developed by the authors, about 30 years ago. It was originally for absorbing wavemakers for tank tests in laboratories. This control enables wavemakers to generate the desired incident waves while absorbing undesirable reflected waves from the tank wall.

Cycloidal Wave Energy Converter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This program allowed further advancing the development of a novel type of wave energy converter, a Cycloidal Wave Energy Converter or CycWEC. A CycWEC consists of one or more hydrofoils rotating around a central shaft, and operates fully submerged beneath the water surface.

Comprehensive steady state analysis of bidirectional dual active bridge DC/DC converter using triple phase shift control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Several papers have been published recently on TPS control of dual active bridge (DAB) converter, however, no complete study of the converter operation behaviour exists, that takes into account all switching modes in both charging and discharging ...

Spectral Bandwidth and WEC Performance Assessment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper investigates the dependency of wave energy conversion on the spectral bandwidth of sea-states. To this aim, the performance of an axisymmetrical Wave Energy Converter is assessed in the frequency domain by using a stochastic model in two far ...

Prototype testing of the wave energy converter wave dragon [PDF]

open access: yesRenewable Energy, 2006
The Wave Dragon is an offshore wave energy converter of the overtopping type. It consists of two wave reflectors focusing the incoming waves towards a ramp, a reservoir for collecting the overtopping water and a number of hydro turbines for converting the pressure head into power.
