title = "Robust Adaptive PI Control of Wave Energy Converters with Uncertain PTO Systems",
abstract = "There exist several optimal control strategies to harvest wave energy with a point absorber. However they are generally based on the assumption that the power takeoff (PTO) system has no dynamics or its dynamics is well-known. In practical WEC control implementation, this is generally not the case. The objective of this paper is to design a robust optimal control strategy that can take into account the uncertain PTO dynamics. Our choice is a robust adaptive PI control law. The proposed controller is validated and compared through simulation on irregular sea states.",
