Abstract:Existing studies within the literature that focus on designing parametric energy-maximizing controllers for Wave Energy Converter (WEC) systems predominantly rely on the impedance-matching (IM) principle, originally developed for linear time-invariant systems. Alternatively, iterative optimization routines are commonly employed for nonlinear WECs. However, these approaches often face a trade-off between effectiveness in maximizing energy extraction and computational efficiency. To address this limitation, this… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
