In this paper, a method for implementing model predictive control for vibration energy harvesting systems with the goal of maximizing generated energy is presented. This is generally a nonconvex problem, which can be computationally expensive and converging to a global minimum cannot be guaranteed. We introduce a dual-domain method to relax the nonconvex primal problem into a convex dual optimization problem, which can be performed in real time. Based on previous work, we determine when the duality gap is zero and, by extension, whether the global optimal primal solution is found. We demonstrate the algorithm on a single, buoy-type wave energy converter with energy storage constraints and power take-off force constraints.
