Dynamics and Control of Ocean Wave Energy Converters: Theory and Applications

Dynamics and Control of Ocean Wave Energy Converters: Theory and Applications outlines the fundamental theory and applications of wave energy production techniques, with detailed explanations of the dynamics and hydrodynamics of wave energy converters. Methods and models of control are described next, including essential techniques from systems response and PID control to state space realization. Next, advanced reactive control techniques, such as Latching Control, Bang-Bang Control, and advanced optimal control algorithms, will be outlined. The final chapters show how to calculate optimal estimation for wave energy conversion using techniques such as Kalman Filters and Extended Kalman filters. Providing a range of problems and case studies to enhance understanding, this book will take readers from the essentials of wave energy conversion to advanced control techniques for responsive energy production.
