Advances in the area of active controls for wave energy converter (WEC) devices have uncovered a need for accurate estimates of the actual waves that will arrive at the WEC devices in the near future, typically several seconds ahead. This paper considers the parametric estimation of these impending waves by employing a network of spatially distributed ocean sensors, possibly of different types, whose...
Ocean wave energy farms are composed of several wave energy converter devices. The objective of each converter is to capture the potential and kinetic energy in rolling ocean waves and convert them into electricity. An important task in optimizing power delivery from ocean wave energy farms is short term prediction of incoming ocean waves. Accurate predictions enable predictive wave energy converter...
In order to obtain the maximum power absorption of wave power devices, the mean gain factor q for the array and its characteristics are discussed in this paper. Some characteristics about the maximum q are studied through theoretical derivation and numerical examples. Also, the relationship between the maximum q and the properties of the optimum linear arrays of wave power devices are explored through...
