Hydrodynamic and control optimization for a heaving point absorber wave energy converter (2019)
Thesis
Jin, S. Hydrodynamic and control optimization for a heaving point absorber wave energy converter. (Thesis). University of Hull. 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...

Study of scale modelling, verification and control of a heaving point absorber wave energy converter (2017)
Thesis
Guo, B. Study of scale modelling, verification and control of a heaving point absorber wave energy converter. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4220352

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.

Robust model-based fault estimation and fault-tolerant control : towards an integration (2017)
Thesis
Lan, J. Robust model-based fault estimation and fault-tolerant control : towards an integration. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4219844

To maintain robustly acceptable system performance, fault estimation (FE) is adopted to reconstruct fault signals and a fault-tolerant control (FTC) controller is employed to compensate for the fault effects. The inevitably existing system and estima... Read More about Robust model-based fault estimation and fault-tolerant control : towards an integration.

Study of power plant, carbon capture and transport network through dynamic modelling and simulation (2015)
Thesis
Oko, E. Study of power plant, carbon capture and transport network through dynamic modelling and simulation. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4216833

The unfavourable role of CO₂ in stimulating climate change has generated concerns as CO₂ levels in the atmosphere continue to increase. As a result, it has been recommended that coal-fired power plants which are major CO₂ emitters should be operated...
