Control-Informed Geometric Optimization of Wave Energy Converters: The Impact of Device Motion and Force Constraints
The energy cost for producing electricity via wave energy converters (WECs) is still not competitive with other renewable energy sources, especially wind energy. It is well known that energy maximising control plays an important role to improve the performance of WECs, allowing the energy conversion...
