Centipod WEC, Advanced Controls, WEC Geometry CAD

Dataset McCall, Alan

CAD files depicting the wetted geometry of the Centipod WEC used in numerical models during this project. This includes the wetted geometry of the point absorber body ('pod') and the WEC 'backbone'.
Centipod WEC, Advanced Controls, Resultant LCOE

Dataset McCall, Alan

Project resultant levelized cost of energy (LCOE) model after implementation of model predictive control (MPC) controller. Contains annual energy production (AEP) data, cost breakdown structure (CBS), model documentation, and the LCOE content model. This is meant for comparison with this project's baseline LCOE model.
Centipod WEC, Advanced Controls, WaveDyn Models

Dataset McCall, Alan

Archive containing the WaveDyn models used for analysis of the Centipod WEC with and without Advanced Controls, i.e. the WaveDyn files contain a baseline model which can be run alone, and a model predictive control (MPC) model which must be run when connected to the MPC controller. The controller dynamic link library (DLL) is also contained within this archive. The code archive for the MPC controller is linked in this submission.
Centipod WEC, Advanced Controls, Baseline LCOE

Dataset McCall, Alan

Project baseline levelized cost of energy (LCOE) model for the Centipod WEC containing annual energy production (AEP) data, a cost breakdown structure (CBS), model documentation, and the LCOE content model. This baseline was built for comparison with the resultant LCOE model, built after implementation of the model predictive control (MPC) controller.
MASK3 for Advanced WEC Dynamics and Controls

Dataset Coe, Ryan ; Bacelli, Giorgio ; Spencer, Steven ; ...

This report outlines the "MASK3" wave tank test within the Advanced WEC Dynamics and Controls (AWDC) project. This test represents the final test in the AWDC project. The focus of the MASK3 test was to consider coordinated 3-degree-of-freedom (3DOF) control of a WEC in a realistic ocean environment. A key aspect of this test was the inclusion of a "self-tuning" mechanism which uses an optimization algorithm to update controller gains based on a changing sea state. The successful implementation of the self-tuning mechanism is the last crucial step required for such a controller to be implemented in real ocean environments.
