Optimisation of the output of a heaving wave energy converter

This research project is to investigate the control of the wave power device, known as the 'Manchester Bobber' (MB), and to optimise the output by tuning its drive-train parameters. The work starts with building a numerical model and developing a control strategy. The work sequentially pro...
