This study considers maximising conversion between the mechanical and electrical powers for heaving point absorbers (HPAs). The objective is implemented by generating the buoy's velocity reference by designing the intrinsic resistance. The authors designed the intrinsic resistance using a rapid procedure involving the mechanical and electrical models of HPAs. The electrical power conversion can be improved by tuning a weighting constant with the constraints on the maximum value of the control force and the power take-off utilisation index. The value of the intrinsic resistance is varied based on irregular sea states, which are characterised by their significant heights and peak angular frequencies. A simple robust proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is utilised in the servo feedback control system to follow the velocity reference. The PID controller is designed using the complex polynomial stabilisation to convert the robust performance into a set of linear programming problems. A set of admissible PID controller is obtained to satisfy the robust performance specifications. The authors tested the proposed method in various nominal and perturbation scenarios, and its performance was compared with existing reference and non-reference based HPA control strategies.

This study considers the design and testing of a laboratory scale test rig for wave energy converters (WECs). The main element of the test rig is a double-sided permanent magnet linear generator (PMLG). In this study, the authors describe the detailed design of the PMLG. The objective of the design is to find the detailed parameters of the PMLG to meet the targeted electromotive force (EMF) voltage with respect to the designed physical constraints. The design procedure is easy to follow and emphasises the practical aspects to construct the PMLG. A spreadsheet table was generated using the procedure to find the design parameters. Therefore, a designer can easily modify the parameters based on the physical constraints and the targeted EMF voltage. In addition to that, the authors explain the procedure to find the rating temperature for the generator. Finally, this PMLG is integrated with other components to form the test rig. The experiment is conducted to show how close the performance of the constructed PMLG is, in term of its EMF voltage and rated thermal, to the designed values. Additional tests were also conducted to test the performance of the test rig using various scenarios similar to ocean wave profiles.
