Harnessing energy from ocean waves, although not a new concept, is beginning to gain
traction in the renewable energy research community. This largely untapped energy …

This work proposes a novel adaptive bistable power capture mechanism, which is applied to
a point absorber wave energy converter in regular waves. The adaptive bistable mechanism …

This paper deals with optimal tuning, control and performance evaluation of an inerter-
based point absorber (IPA) wave energy converter (WEC), which is a first step towards …

Efficient and accurate stochastic response analysis of offshore structures subjected to ocean
wave loads has been a challenging problem for several decades. This is especially true for …

Performance analysis is conducted for an adaptive bistable point absorber wave energy
converter under white noise wave excitation. The adaptive bistable wave power capture …

The model accuracy and computational burden are key issues that remain in the realization
of model predictive control (MPC) of wave energy converters (WECs). In this study, the …

A generic formulation for the optimal control of a single reacting two-body point absorber
type wave-energy converter (WEC) is proposed. The formulation involves hard and soft …

To date, one of the main challenges and requirements in wave energy technologies is to
design energy-maximising control for a wave energy converter (WEC) device to achieve the …

Research on renewable energy have become a focus in recent years. Ocean wave energy
is a kind of renewable energy that exists widely in the world. This paper presents a snake …

The performance of a floating oscillating water column wave energy converter depends on
the variation of the pressure above atmospheric pressure in the pressure chamber above …
