Maximum Power Point Tracking for a Point Absorber Device with a Tubular Linear Switched Reluctance Generator

This paper addresses the control of a Tubular Linear Switched Reluctance Generator (TLSRG) with application in a point absorber device. A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) strategy is proposed to maximize the power extraction from ocean waves. The generator is characterized by average maximum forc...
