Abstract
This paper provides a stability analysis for a
system that captures wave energy in order to produce potable
water. The system, introduced in [1], is a Wave Energy
Converter (WEC) of the point-absorber type coupled to a
hydraulic Power Take-Off (PTO) that converts wave energy
into pressure. Previous work has used a partial state-feedback
controller with integral action and feed-forward to provide
good nominal control behaviour. Although open-loop stability
was proven in [1], no guarantees of closed-loop stability were
given; in this paper we provide such guarantees for a class of
controllers, of which the controller proposed in [1] is a special
case.
