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 …

Ocean waves contain one of the world's largest untapped and predictable renewable energy
sources that can be used to fulfil the energy demand in the present energy crises situation …

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 …

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 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 …

Phase-resolved wave prediction is of vital importance for the real-time control of wave
energy converters. In this paper, a novel wave prediction method is proposed, which, to the …

This paper investigates model predictive control (MPC) of a single sea wave energy
converter (WEC). By using control schemes which constrain certain quantities, such as the …

This paper reviews key issues in the physical and numerical modelling of marine renewable
energy systems, including wave energy devices, current turbines, and offshore wind …

Wave energy has a significant part to play in providing a carbon-free solution to the world's
increasing appetite for energy. In many countries, there is sufficient wave energy to cater for …
