Abstract:
The present invention is a method for controlling a wave-energy-converter system, wherein the gains of a control law having a proportional component are optimally determined in terms of the harvest of energy, and are robust with respect to uncertainties in the dynamics of the wave-energy-converter system. The harvest of energy is maximized for the worst case described by the uncertainties, by solving a semidefinite-positive optimization problem.
