Shape optimization of multi-degree-of-freedom wave energy converter using genetic algorithm

ObjectiveIn order to optimize the shape of the floating buoy of a multi-degree-of-freedom wave energy converter to improve its energy conversion efficiency, a method for shape optimization based on a genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed. MethodsA B-spline surface is used to define the shape of the flo...
