Model Predictive Control of a Wave Energy Converter with Discrete Fluid Power Power Take-Off System

Wave power extraction algorithms for wave energy converters are normally designed without taking system losses into account leading to suboptimal power extraction. In the current work, a model predictive power extraction algorithm is designed for a discretized power take of system. It is shown how t...
