Comparison of Advanced Control Strategies Applied to a Multiple-Degrees-of-Freedom Wave Energy Converter: Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller versus Reinforcement Learning
Achieving energy maximizing control of a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) not only needs a comprehensive dynamic model of the system—including nonlinear hydrodynamic effects and nonlinear characteristics of Power Take-Off (PTO)—but to treat the entire system using an integrated approach, i.e., as a cyber...
