Hydrodynamic and control optimization for a heaving point absorber wave energy converter (2019)
Thesis
Jin, S. (2019). Hydrodynamic and control optimization for a heaving point absorber wave energy converter. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221763

The thesis aims at studying the non-linear performance of a designed 1/50 scale point absorber wave energy converter (PAWEC) in heave motion. In particular, designs of the PAWEC geometry and control strategy are considered to optimize the power captu...

Fault-tolerant load reduction control for large offshore wind turbines (2019)
Thesis
Liu, Y. (2019). Fault-tolerant load reduction control for large offshore wind turbines. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4270015

Offshore wind turbines suffer from asymmetrical loading (blades, tower etc.), leading to enhanced structural fatigue. As well as asymmetrical loading different types of faults (pitch system faults etc.) can occur simultaneously, causing degradation o...
