A Self-Tuning WEC Controller for Changing Sea States

A self-tuning proportional-integral control law prescribing motor torques was tested in experiment on a three degree-of-freedom wave energy converter. The control objective was to maximize electrical power. The control law relied upon an identified model of device intrinsic impedance to generate a...
