We demonstrate that deterministic sea wave prediction (DSWP) combined with constrained optimal control can dramatically … improve the efficiency of sea wave energy converters (WECs), while maintaining their safe operation. We focus on a point … damage is formulated as an optimal control problem with a disturbance input (the sea elevation) and with both state and input …
