In this study, a nonlinear Archimedes wave swing (AWS) energy conversion system was
employed to enable the use of irregular sea waves to provide useful electricity. Instead of the …

This paper addresses the Archimedes Wave Swing (an offshore wave energy converter,
which produces electricity from sea waves). It compares the performances of latching control …

A submerged wave energy point absorber, TWED (Torres Wave Energy Device), has been
studied under regular and irregular wave conditions. A partial non-linear time domain model …

In this paper, the classic Levy identification method is reviewed and reformulated using a
complex representation. This new formulation addresses the well known bias of the classic …

The Archimedes Wave Swing (AWS) is aa fully-submerged Wave Energy Converter (WEC),
that is to say, a device that converts the energy of sea waves into electricity. A first prototype …

This work addresses an off-shore oscillating water column for producing electricity from sea
waves. It describes the modelling of this device and the study of control techniques that …

Although linear permanent-magnet generators (LPMGs) are widely used for converting
wave energy into electrical energy, they suffer from large cogging force. The cogging force …

This work examines some of the fundamental problems behind the control of wave energy
converters (WECs). Several new perspectives are presented to aid the understanding of the …

This paper uses Levy's identification method to build linear, second-order models for the
Archimedes Wave Swing (AWS), an off-shore, fully-submerged, point absorber wave energy …

This paper addresses the control of the Archimedes Wave Swing, a fully-submerged Wave
Energy Converter (WEC), of which a prototype has already been built and tested. Simulation …
