In this article, a range of problems and theories will be introduced that will build towards a new wave energy converter (WEC) concept, with the acronym 'ROTA' standing for resonant over-topping absorber. First, classical results for wave power absorption for WECs constrained to operate in a single degree of freedom will be reviewed and the role of resonance in their operation highlighted. Emph...

Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) based on Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) connected to the grid is subjected to high transient currents at rotor side and rise in DC-link voltage during voltage sag at stator/grid side. To secure power system operation wind turbines have to meet grid requirements through the Low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability and contribute to grid voltage contr...

 Abstract—This study presents a rapid multiple incremental and decremental mechanism based on Weight-Error Curves (WECs) for support-vector analysis. To handle rapidly increasing amounts of data, recursion-free computation is proposed for predicting the Lagrangian multipliers of new samples. This study examines the characteristics of Ridge Support Vector Models, including Ridge Support Vector ...

Wind energy is a leader area of application for variable-speed generators operating on the constant grid frequency. This paper depicts the power quality enhancement in wind power system using permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) and Quasi Z-source Inverter. The PMSG is connected to the power network by means of a quasi z-source inverter (qZSI). The PMSG are used by these technologies d...

Most Wave Energy Converters (WECs) produce highly distorted power due to the reciprocal motion induced by ocean waves. Some WEC systems have integrated energy storage that overcomes this limitation, but add significant expenses to an already costly system. As an alternative approach, this article investigates the direct export option that relies on aggregate smoothing among several WECs. By opt...

A self tuning PID control strategy using reinforcement learning is proposed in this paper to deal with the control of wind energy conversion systems (WECS). Actor-Critic learning is used to tune PID parameters in an adaptive way by taking advantage of the model-free and on-line learning properties of reinforcement learning effectively. In order to reduce the demand of storage space and to impro...

A feasible control strategy is proposed to control a doubly fed induction generator based on the wind energy converter system (DFIG-WECS). The main aim is to enhance the steady state and dynamic performance under the condition of the parameter perturbations and external disturbances and to satisfy the stator power response of the system. Within the proposed control method, the control scheme fo...
