Wave power is currently a hot topic of research, and has shown great potential as a renewable energy source. There have been lot of progress made in developing cost effective Wave Energy Converters (WECs) that can compete with other sources of energy in regard to price and electrical power. Theoretical studies has shown that optimal control can increase the generated power for idealized WECs. This thesis is done in collaboration with CorPower Ocean, and investigates the use of economic Model Predictive Control (MPC) to control the generator torque in a light, point-absorbing, heaving WEC that is currently under development. The objective is to optimize the generator torque, such that the average generated power is maximized while maintaining...
