DOI: 10.1016/j.ifacol.2017.08.2502
Abstract: Abstract Passive loading is a suboptimal method of control for wave energy converters (WECs) that usually consists of tuning the power take-off (PTO) damping of the WEC to either the energy or the peak frequency… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/nphys4036
Abstract: Controlled wave propagation in disordered media is a challenge because of scattering processes. Now it is shown that for speckled targets much larger than the wavelength, long-range correlations between the speckles enhance wave propagation control. read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/en11113036
Abstract: A challenge while applying latching control on a wave energy converter (WEC) is to find a reliable and robust control strategy working in irregular waves and handling the non-ideal behaviour of real ... read more here.
