Info

Oscillating-body dynamics Phase control, i.e. wave-to-wave control in radom waves, is one of the main issues in wave energy conversion. Optimal control is a difficult theoretical control problem, that has been under investigation since the late 1970s. Control is made difficult by the randomness of the waves and by the wave-device interaction being a process with memory. The difficulty increases for multimode oscillations and for multibody systems. Control should be regarded as an open problem and a major challenge in the development of wave energy conversion.
Oscillating-body dynamics Phase-control by latching Whenever the body velocity comes down to zero, keep the body fixed for an appropriate perid of time. This is an artificial way of reducing the frequency of the body freeoscillations, and achieving resonance. Phase-control by latching was introduced by Falnes and Budal J. Falnes, K. Budal, Wave-power conversion by power absorbers. Norwegian Maritime Research, vol. 6, p. 2-11, 1978. Johannes Falnes Kjell Budall (1933-89)
