Optimal control of a wave energy converter

2017 IEEE Conference on Control Technology and Applications (CCTA), 2017
The optimal control strategy for a wave energy converter (WEC) with constraints on the control torque is investigated. The goal is to optimize the total energy delivered to the electricity grid. Using Pontryagin's maximum principle, the solution is found to be singular-bang.

Modelling and Control of a Wave Energy Converter

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2010
Abstract This work addresses an off-shore oscillating water column for producing electricity from sea waves. It describes the modelling of this device and the study of control techniques that could improve energy extraction. Optimisation techniques applied improved the device performance for a wide number of sea states.

Model predictive control of a wave energy converter

2015 IEEE Conference on Control Applications (CCA), 2015
In this paper reactive control and Model Predictive Control (MPC) for a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) are compared. The analysis is based on a WEC from Wave Star A/S designed as a point absorber. The model predictive controller uses wave models based on the dominating sea states combined with a model connecting undisturbed wave sequences to sequences of ...

On the scalability of wave energy converters

Ocean Engineering, 2022
Abstract To achieve cost parity with other renewables, the wave energy sector requires significant cost reduction. Increasing the wind turbine scale is one successful route to cost reduction in the wind industry. This paper aims at investigating the scalability of wave energy converters (WECs) and providing a thorough review and analysis of published
