Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shi, S., Abdelrahman, M., & Patton, R. J. (2019, July). Wave excitation force estimation and forecasting for WEC power conversion maximisation. Presented at IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM), Hong Kong

Prediction or forecasting of the wave excitation force (WEF) is required for implementing a power ef ciency maximisation control of wave energy converters (WECs) due to the inherent non-causality of required power take-off (PTO) force. WEF prediction... Read More about Wave excitation force estimation and forecasting for WEC power conversion maximisation.

Learning a predictionless resonating controller for wave energy converters (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shi, S., Patton, R. J., Abdelrahman, M., & Liu, Y. (2019, June). Learning a predictionless resonating controller for wave energy converters. Presented at ASME 2019 38th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering, Glasgow, Scotland

This article presents a data-efficient learning approach for the complex-conjugate control of a wave energy point absorber. Particularly, the Bayesian Optimization algorithm is adopted for maximizing the extracted energy from sea waves subject to phy...
