Although wave energy prototypes have been proposed for more than 100 years, they have
still not reached full commercialisation. The reasons for this are varied, but include the …

Abstract Model predictive control (MPC) has achieved considerable success in the process
industries, with its ability to deal with linear and nonlinear models, while observing system …

With the recent sharp increases in the price of oil, issues of security of supply, and pressure
to honor greenhouse gas emission limits (eg, the Kyoto protocol), much attention has turned …

With an increasing focus on climate action and energy security, an appropriate mix of
renewable energy technologies is imperative. Despite having considerable global potential …

It has been well accepted that wave energy may have the potential to significantly contribute
to the future renewable energy mix but so far it remains as the largest untapped renewable …

The energy coming from the motion of the waves of seas and oceans could be an important
component in the solution of the energy problem related to the pursuit of alternatives to fossil …

Wave-energy converters of the point-absorbing type (ie, having small extension compared
with the wavelength) are promising for achieving cost reductions and design improvements …

Control of wave energy converters (WECs) has been very often limited to hydrodynamic
control to absorb the maximum energy possible from ocean waves. This generally ignores or …

With many countries planning to significantly increase grid renewable energy penetration
levels, we consider the role of wave energy in supply–demand matching. We investigate …

Wave energy's path towards commercialization requires maximizing reliability, survivability,
an improvement in energy harvested from the wave and efficiency of the wave to wire …
