RISRevisiting Theoretical Limits for One Degree-of-Freedom Wave Energy Converters
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work revisits the theoretical limits of one degree-of-freedom wave energy converters (WECs). This work considers the floating sphere used in the OES Task 10 WEC modeling and verification effort for analysis. Analytical ...
Nonlinear Model Predictive Control Applied to a Generic Ocean Wave Energy Extractor1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper evaluates the theoretical application of nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) to a modelscale point absorber for wave energy conversion. The NMPC strategy will be evaluated against a passive system, which ...
Performance Enhancements and Validations of a Generic Ocean Wave Energy Extractor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper evaluates two aspects of enhancements made to a generic oceanwave energy extraction device, developed recently at University of California (UC)Berkeley with features reported in Yeung et al. (2010, “Design, ...
Influence on Structural Loading of a Wave Energy Converter by Controlling Variable-Geometry Components and the Power Take-Off
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Oceans are harsh environments and can impose significant loads on deployed structures. A wave energy converter (WEC) should be designed to maximize the energy absorbed while ensuring the operating wave condition does not ...
