This study presents an advanced control scheme capable of significantly increasing power production from wave energy conversion (WEC) systems. This control scheme uses a reactive power approach built upon a Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework and is capable of optimizing power capture while also respecting machine constraints (e.g. velocity, maximum force, etc.). The controller can also take...
A fast and accurate state space model of a multiple body wave energy converter (WEC) is developed in this paper. The purpose of this model is to expedite the development of the advanced controls critical to improving WEC performance. Although it possible to directly couple controller code with some - but not all - high resolution time domain simulation tools (WaveDyn, WEC-Sim, etc.), it can be much...
