Wave Energy Converter (WEC) Control: a challenge for IFPEN

WebMar 2, 2010 · Power take-off (PTO) and control systems (including "prime mover" (waves to mechanical power) as well as the ancillary equipment like gearboxes, generators, and power electronics, power controllers, grid interfaces and other items) are key subsystems of wave energy converters. PTO and control systems can be improved to increase the efficiency ... WebOct 22, 2024 · PTO systems used for wave energy converters are also used in other power-generating systems. Hence, their conversion efficiencies and capacities have been standardized by different manufacturers over the years. A typical conversion efficiency is given by [ 151] and summarized in Table 8 below. Table 8. WebApr 19, 2024 · Abstract: Direct-drive wave energy converter (WEC) and buoy control algorithms have shown great potential for renewable wave energy extraction in ideal conditions. However the actual power take-off (PTO) impacts are barely considered in the WEC design. This paper highlights the demands of designing the WEC wave-to-wire … 5関脇
