In this paper, a variable damper is proposed to regulate the efficiency of a two-body wave energy converter (WEC) with mechanically driven power take-off (PTO). The variable damper introduces logic constraints into the WEC system, which can be translated...

The objective of this work is to identify the maximum absorbed power and optimal buoy geometry of a heaving axisymmetric point absorber for a given cost in different sea states. The cost of the wave energy converter is estimated as proportional to the di...

Nowadays, drifters are used for a wide range of applications for researching and exploring the sea. However, the power constraint makes it difficult for their sampling intervals to be smaller, meaning that drifters cannot transmit more accurate measureme...
