Grid Integration and Power Smoothing of an Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter

Grid Integration and Power Smoothing of an Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter

This paper applies model predictive control (MPC) for the power processing of an oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy conversion (WEC) system to achieve smooth power delivery to the grid. The particular air turbine design adopted in this study produces large power pulses ranging from 0 to 1 MW...
