title = "Discrete control of an Oscillating Wave Surge Converter",
abstract = "The effectiveness of two discrete control strategies, Latching and Declutching, has been examined for an Oscillating Wave Surge Converter using numerical simulations. A simplified hydrodynamic model of a submerged oscillating plate and a simple damper PTO were used to model the forces acting on the device. As expected from looking at the available literature, both Latching and Declutching control returned a significant increase in power in the appropriate frequency regions with an unlimited PTO stroke length. However, when realistic position limitations and damping ratios were introduced, no significant practical advantage could be found in implementing either control strategy for this particular device configuration.",
