Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to the Energies Special Issue “Advanced Control Technology of Integrated Wind and Wave Energy Conversion Systems: 2nd Edition”.
Wind energy and ocean wave energy are a promising renewable source to contribute to supplying the world’s energy demand. The control system is a key point to increase the power generated and therefore the efficiency of Integrated Wind and Ocean Wave Energy Systems. Due to the nonlinear dynamics and uncertainties usually present in Integrated Wind and Wave Energy Systems, the efficiency of these systems can be increased by adopting advanced control strategies.
This research focuses on developing advanced control strategies for Integrated wind and wave energy converters subject to constraints. A nonlinear control strategy is studied in detail for an Integrated wind and wave energy converter (WEC) subject to constraints under regular and irregular waves. One of the key objectives is to ensure that the WECs are efficient in terms of power production for the wave field where they are placed. The control scheme has improved the real power regulation and dynamic performance of a combined wind and ocean wave energy scheme over a wide range of operating conditions. The control strategies to control the rotational speed of the wells turbine include: (a)variable frequency control; (b)constant torque control; (c)speed control; (d)uncontrolled scheme; (e)V/f control. New technology needs verified by long-term operation and satisfactory reliability of electricity generation.
This Special Issue of Energies aims to address the challenges in the control design and implementation of Wind and Wave Energy Systems used to convert wind and wave energy in electrical power. Original submissions focusing on new control techniques and the practical implementation of these new control schemes, which are useful for improving our knowledge of Integrated Wind and Wave Energy Systems, based on one or more of the following topics, are welcome in this Special Issue. The Issue will include, but is not be limited to, the following topics:
- Integrated Wind and Wave analysis and prediction
- Modelling of wind and wave energy converters (WECs)
- Control system design and implementation
- Novel concepts and integrated systems
- WEC optimization and grid connection
- Implementation of advanced control schemes
