A Hamiltonian Surface-Shaping Approach for Control System Analysis and the Design of Nonlinear Wave Energy Converters

The dynamic model of Wave Energy Converters (WECs) may have nonlinearities due to several reasons such as a nonuniform buoy shape and/or nonlinear power takeoff units. This paper presents the Hamiltonian Surface-Shaping (HSS) approach as a tool for the analysis and design of nonlinear control of WEC...
