NeuralWEC
The overall objective of the NeuralWEC project is to demonstrate that the NeuralWEC supervisory control system results in at least a significant improvement in efficiency as compared to a traditional device governed by passive damping controls, and to demonstrate these improvements in (i) complex sea states where the wave shapes and forces on the devices are not known beforehand, and (ii) long-period waves, where most conventional point absorber WECs have extreme difficulty producing energy efficiently, first at laboratory scale and finally in the open sea at PacWave off of the coast of Newport, OR.
