Project Abstract
The aimof this project is to investigate the impact of varying size and control among different Wave Energy Converters (WECs) on the collective performance of the array. Specifically, the project aims to develop a mathematical model for the heterogeneous array, to optimise the sizes of WECs in the array, to develop control optimisation for each WEC, and to conduct wave tank experiments for an optimised WEC array.
