A novel floating two-body wave energy converter (WEC) is tested in regular waves. The
WEC consists of a streamlined conical outer buoy that surrounds an elongated inner buoy …

In recent years, a framework for control of wave energy converters (WECs), termed moment-
based control, has been developed within the wave energy conversion literature, exhibiting …

At present, the mainstream solution for the control of wave energy converters (WECs), the
model predictive control (MPC)-like method, faces a gap between simulation-based …

Following the tank testing results of linear passive damping control and linear non-causal
optimal control (LNOC) in the Part I and Part II papers, this paper presents further tank …

inertial adjusting mechanism for performance evaluation. A conceptual design is introduced …

Some active controls were proposed to maximize the power production for the point
absorber type wave energy converter (WEC) with a linear generator. However, proposed …

Ocean waves represent a significant energy resource which can complement other
renewable energy technologies during the transition to a low-carbon energy mix. Despite …

A safety assessment for wave energy converters (WECs) in model scale is necessary before
a demonstration test. WECs have various control conditions such as a maintenance and …

We developed the generator control system by model predictive control methodology, MPTC
(Model Predictive Tuning Control), that enables WEC to tune every wave and then yield …
