The paper considers a reference-based control system for heaving wave energy converters. The proposed controller comprises two parts: lower level part (LLP) and higher level part (HLP). The HPL generates the buoy's velocity reference with the objective to maximize the power absorption with the constraints in the maximum control force and the power take-off device's utilization index. The index is...
