Nonlinear dynamics of a tightly moored point-absorber wave energy converter
Vicente, Pedro C.; Falcão, António F. de O.; Justino, Paulo AlexandreTightly moored single-body floating devices are an important class of offshore wave energy converters. Examples are the devices under development at the University of Uppsala, Sweden, and Oregon State University, USA, prototypes of which were recently tested. These devices are equipped with a linear electrical generator. The mooring system consists of a cable that is kept tight by a spring or equivalent device....
Modelling of the IPS buoy wave energy converter including the effect of non-uni...
Falcão, António F. de O.; Cândido, José J.; Justino, Paulo Alexandre; Henriques, João C. C.An important class of floating wave energy converters (that includes the IPS buoy, the Wavebob and the PowerBuoy) comprehends devices in which the energy is converted from the relative (essentially heaving) motion between two bodies oscillating differently. The paper considers the case of the IPS buoy, consisting of a floater rigidly connected to a fully submerged vertical (acceleration) tube open at both ends....
Reactive versus Latching Phase Control of a Two-body Heaving Wave Energy Converter
Falcão, António F. de O.; Justino, Paulo Alexandre; Henriques, João C.C.; André, José M.C.S.The paper deals with the modelling, optimization and control of the IPS buoy wave energy converter, a two-body point-absorber oscillating in heave, consisting of a floater rigidly connected to a long submerged vertical acceleration tube open at both ends within which a piston can slide, forcing the motion of the inside water below and above it. Energy is converted from the relative motion between the piston and...
