This study focuses on scale modelling of a heaving Point Absorber Wave Energy Converter (PAWEC), model verification via wave tank tests and power maximisation control development. Starting from the boundary element method simulation of the wave-PAWEC... Read More about Study of scale modelling, verification and control of a heaving point absorber wave energy converter.

Although the heaving Point Absorber (PA) concept is well known in wave energy conversion research, few studies focus on appropriate modelling of non-linear fluid viscous and mechanical friction dynamics. Even though these concepts are known to have n... Read More about Nonlinear Modeling and Verification of a Heaving Point Absorber for Wave Energy Conversion.
