Global Hierarchical Control of a Park of Spar Buoy-type Floating Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converters

Creator:

Gaebele, Daniel T.

Abstract:

Converting energy from ocean waves is a challenging area for control theory application because of the nonlinear dynamics in various time scales. Generally, wave energy converter (WEC) control is applied in order to maximize power absorption, in the most common wave conditions, and subject to the devices’ physical constraints. Commonly,...
