Advanced Laboratory and Field Arrays: Technical Report for Performance Enhancement for Marine Energy Converter (MEC) Arrays (Task 5)
Task 5 consisted of two parts, wave energy converter (WEC) arrays and current energy converter (CEC) arrays. The two parts of the project were executed independently, and this report covers only the work on WECs. In this part of the task, the team characterized the behavior of and developed control schemes for wave energy converter (WEC) arrays that improved performance (i.e., maximized aggregate power generation and reduced the levelized cost of energy) over baseline, non-coordinated control approaches. Specifically, for WEC arrays: the team developed optimal layouts of arrays that considered the effect of WEC placement within an array on coordinated array control with real-time estimation schemes. The numerical codes developed through this task were made available to users for array design. These tools utilized existing commercial software as well as software developed within the project team.
