With an increasing focus on climate action and energy security, an appropriate mix of
renewable energy technologies is imperative. Despite having considerable global potential …

The rising sea levels due to climate change are a significant concern, particularly for
vulnerable, low-lying coastal regions like the Gulf of Guinea (GoG). To effectively address …

Prediction of incident waves to Wave Energy Converters (WEC) is essential to maximize the
energy absorption by controlling the WEC. Nevertheless, little work has been done on the …

For wave energy converter control applications, autoregressive (AR) models have been
proposed as a simple wave forecasting method, solely based on measured or estimated …

Rogue waves are ocean surface waves larger than the surrounding sea that can pose a
danger to ships and offshore structures. They are often deemed unpredictable without …

Advanced controls optimization offers a promising pathway to improve performance, reduce
structural loads and thereby reduce the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) for wave energy …

This paper addresses the fundamental theoretical development of a linear optimal
noncausal control for wave energy converters (WECs) in a closed analytic form. It is well …

Short-term deterministic water wave prediction is of great importance to the operations of
ships and offshore structures. The use of the convolution integral of input wave profiles and …

Wave energy converters with capacity similar to, or greater than, wind turbines are desirable
for the supply of electricity to the grid. It is shown that this may be provided by multiple floats …

This study investigates deterministic wave forecasting from the perspective of the Zakharov
equation. Forecasts based on linear dispersion, weakly nonlinear amplitude dispersion and …
