Abstract
The motion of a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) can be described
in terms of an integro-differential equation, which involves a convolution operator. This convolution term accounts for the effect
of radiation forces acting on the device, and represents a computational and representational drawback both for simulation,
and analysis/design of control/estimation strategies. We present
herein a moment-based strategy to compute a parametric form
of the radiation force subsystem for multiple degree of freedom
WECs. The strategy allows for the computation of a model that
exactly matches the steady-state behaviour of the target system
at a set of user-defined frequencies, while retaining the underlying physical properties of radiation forces. The potential and
capabilities of the presented method are illustrated considering a
CorPower-like device (heaving point absorber) as an application
case
