Predictive Control for a Wave-Energy Converter Array Based on an Interconnected Model

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
This paper proposes a model predictive control (MPC) method based on an interconnected model to maximize the ocean wave energy extracted by a wave-energy converter (WEC) array. In the proposed method, a formally uniform interconnected model is applied to

Coupled Mooring Analyses for the WEC-Sim Wave Energy Converter Design Tool [PDF]

Volume 6: Ocean Space Utilization; Ocean Renewable Energy, 2016
A wave-energy-converter-specific time-domain modeling method (WEC-Sim) was coupled with a lumped-mass-based mooring model (MoorDyn) to improve its mooring dynamics modeling capability. This paper presents a verification and validation study on the coupled numerical method.

WEC-Sim wave-to-wire model of a floating oscillating-water-column wave energy converter

Ocean Engineering
Numerical modelling methods are essential to efficiently estimate the performance of wave energy converter (WEC) devices. The open-source software WEC-Sim, which features pre-built model blocks, is particularly popular among WEC types that utilise hydraulic or linear generator power take-off (PTO) systems.
