Abstract
This paper introduces a comprehensive control co-design (CCD) methodology for optimising the
layout of wave energy converter (WEC) arrays from an
economic perspective. The CCD approach ensures that all
optimised WEC and array parameters are aligned with
the final control strategy, resulting in an optimal design
from an overall perspective. By integrating a spectral-based
control strategy into the array layout design, this study aims
to achieve an optimal WEC array layout that maximises
energy absorption while considering the economic cost of
the system. The proposed methodology provides a unique
design approach that combines optimal layout design with
optimal control performance. The analysis focuses on a
three-device in-line WEC array, with different spacing and
mooring arrangements. Energy capture and system cost
evaluation are calculated, and the results obtained using
the spectral-based controller are compared with those obtained using a benchmark passive controller. The findings
underscore the importance of integrating advanced control
strategies at the design stage to enhance energy absorption
and cost reduction.
