Different Model Predictive Control Approaches for Controlling Point Absorber Wave Energy Converters
Ocean wave energy is a promising renewable energy source that can be converted into useful electrical energy using wave energy converters (WECs). In order for WECs to become a commercially viable alternative to established methods of energy generation, operating the WEC in an optimal fashion is a key task. Thus, model predictive control (MPC) is an encouraging control method that exploits the e...

متن کاملAnalytical and computational modelling for wave energy systems: the example of oscillating wave surge converters
The development of new wave energy converters has shed light on a number of unanswered questions in fluid mechanics, but has also identified a number of new issues of importance for their future deployment. The main concerns relevant to the practical use of wave energy converters are sustainability, survivability, and maintainability. Of course, it is also necessary to maximize the capture per ...
متن کاملApplication of Flexible Multibody Modelling for Control Synthesis in Mechatronics
The models used in the conceptual phase of the mechatronic design should not be too complicated, yet they should capture the dominant system behaviour. This includes the computation of natural frequencies and mode shapes in a relevant frequency range. For the control system synthesis the low frequent behaviour up to the cross-over frequency needs to be known. Furthermore, the closed-loop system...
متن کاملFlexible multibody modelling for the mechatronic design of compliant mechanisms
In high precision equipment the use of compliant mechanisms is favourable as elastic joints offer the advantages of low friction and no backlash. To satisfy exact constraint design the mechanism should have exactly the required degrees of freedom and constraints so that the system is kinematically and statically determinate. For this purpose we propose the following kinematic analysis using a f...
