Algorithm for the search of the secondary converter optimum impedance in a punctual wave energy converter

Abstract

In this work an algorithm is presented with the purpose of calculating the design requirements that can be imposed to the secondary converter (composed by the electrical generator and other mechanisms) in order to allow the buoy of a wave energy converter system to extract the maximum power from the ocean in each scenario. The physical simulations are carried out by a Simulink model, coupled with a Matlab code that performs the optimization of the generated power.
