Abstract
Energy-maximising controllers for wave energy
devices are normally based on linear hydrodynamic device
models. Such models ignore nonlinear effects which typically
manifest themselves for large device motion (typical in this
application) and may also include other modelling errors. In
this paper, we present a methodology for reducing the sensitivity
to modelling errors and nonlinear effects by the use of a
hierarchical robust controller, which also allows good energy
maximisation to be recovered through a passivity-based control
approach.
