Optimising the output of an articulated WEC through the use of a biologically-inspired and artificially evolved neural network

This thesis investigates the implementation of a practical control strategy for a simple wave energy converter in regular and irregular waves. Inspired by the neurophysiology of the lamprey, this work looks at the limitations of using this neural structure as a method for control of an articulated w...
