Meta‐heuristic optimisation approach for wave energy converter design by means of a stochastic hydrodynamic model

Abstract A methodology to automate the sizing of a wave energy converter (WEC) is presented. The preliminary design of WEC geometry is addressed as a mathematical program by means of a meta‐heuristic optimisation, which includes as key aspects the use of a multi‐objective differential evolutionary (...
