This article covers research into rotational speed control for oscillating water column converters (OWC). The primary focus is the improvement of the Wells turbine performance by controlling its rotational speed. In this sense, the proposed control scheme has been implemented based on the NEREIDA MOWC demonstration project, a breakwater wave plant located in the Basque location of Mutriku, using Wells...
This article covers research into cost reduction pathways for wave energy. The primary focus is the development and test of reliable and controllable power take-off (PTO) technology for oscillating water column converters (OWC). This is highly relevant to the ocean energy challenge. Extensive testing via data of the NEREIDA MOWC demonstration project, a breakwater wave plant located in the Basque...
Control of the plasma inductance is an essential tool for the successful operation of Tokamaks in order to overcome stability issues as well as the new challenges specific to advanced scenarios operation. Thus, tokamak operation may benefit from model predictive control techniques to extend the pulse duration by reducing instabilities while guaranteeing tokamak integrity. The numerical results seem...
Great research effort is currently carried out to develop Energy-efficient Buildings. In particular, the control community is in a privileged position to help new buildings to comply with the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive obligations and thus meet ‘nearly zero-energy’. This work presents energy efficient studies on a dwelling in a social block located in the neighborhood of Otxarkoaga,...
