Resumo(s)
The Archimedes Wave Swing (AWS) is a a fully-submerged Wave Energy Converter (WEC), that is to say, a device that converts the energy of sea waves into electricity. A first prototype of the AWS has already been built and tested. In this paper, neural network (NN) models for this AWS prototype are developed. NNs are then used together with proven control strategies (phase and amplitude control, internal model control and switching control) to maximise energy production. Simulations show an yearly average electricity production increase of 160% over the performance of the original AWS controller.
