Latching and Declutching Control of the Solo Duck Wave-Energy Converter with Different Load Types

The solo duck wave-energy converter (WEC) captures power in a point absorber manner, hence it exhibits high power-capture efficiency within only a narrow bandwidth. Passive control is characterized by a unidirectional power flow, and thus its engineering implementation can be simplified. In this pap...
