Reactive versus Latching Phase Control of a Two-body Heaving Wave Energy Converter

The paper deals with the modelling, optimization and control of the IPS buoy wave energy converter, a two-body point-absorber oscillating in heave, consisting of a floater rigidly connected to a long submerged vertical acceleration tube open at both ends within which a piston can slide, forcing the...
