- Wave energy is distributed across a wide range of frequencies and sea states. Control strategies therefore need to maximise power capture under varying conditions. This novel analysis includes viscous drag and friction effects as principal nonlinearities affecting energy conversion maximisation. The hydrodynamic modelling results are verified in a 1/50 scale wave energy convertor by tank testing with irregular wave generation. The work also establishes a useful benchmark for energy conversion tuning research and has been presented as a plenary address at the IEEE/ASME Conference AIM 2018, New Zealand AIM 2018 Book of Abstracts .
