Abstract
The McCabe Wave Pump (MWP) has possibilities
for the conversion of wave energy into electrical
energy and the production of potable water. However,
in order to optimise the dynamics and operation
of this device in the face of a wide variety
of sea conditions, a number of important control
issues must be addressed. The first step, which is
addressed in this paper, is the production of a dynamical
model of the MWP, which can provide a
basis for both control design and simulation. Since
the power take-off (PTO) system provides the main
damping in the system, the paper places particular
emphasis on the PTO model and how it couples
to the main rig dynamics. The control problem
formulation is also briefly addressed.
