Ermakov, A., Ringwood, J.V. A control-orientated analytical model for a cyclorotor wave energy device with N hydrofoils. J. Ocean Eng. Mar. Energy (2021)
Abstract: We present a new analytical model from which a model-based controller can be derived for a cyclorotor-based wave energy converter (WEC). Few cyclorotor-based WEC concepts and models have previously been studied and only one control strategy for the entire wave cancellation has been tested. Our model is derived for
Ermakov, A., Ringwood, J.V.Rotors for wave energy conversion—Practice and possibilities. IET Renew Power Gener.. 1–18 (2021)
Abstract: This review studies some of the existing ideas which create a fundamentally new direction for wave energy converter (WEC) development, obtaining energy from the elliptical motion of particles in water waves using a rotor. The review focuses on three main aspects of rotor-based WECs: experimental study of the developed
