Investigation on PTO control of a Combined Axisymmetric Buoy-WEC(CAB-WEC) [PDF]
Ocean Engineering, 2019 The Combined Axisymmetric Buoy (CAB), a vertical axisymmetric buoy, has the potential to deliver a high energy absorption power. Considering the CAB-Wave Energy Converters (WEC), in order to achieve higher efficiency, the Power Take Off (PTO) systems, which converts the float motion into energy output, needs to be properly controlled.

A competition for WEC control systems [PDF]
, 2017 This paper outlines a proposed open competition which will compare energy-maximising controllers for wave energy converters (WECs), both in simulation, and in real time,using a scale device in a tank test situation. To date, a wide variety of WEC control algorithms have been proposed, but have been difficult to compare due to ...

Estimates of Critical Upper Maxima (CT<sub>max</sub>) of Kelp Species Are Strongly Influenced by Biogeography and Thermal History. [PDF]
Ecol EvolExperimentally derived critical thermal maxima (CTmax) are widely used to estimate species' thermal tolerance and increasingly to predict vulnerability to chronic warming. However, evidence shows how CTmax is dynamic and can be strongly influenced by multiple environmental and methodological factors, potentially limiting its application as a fixed ...
