Centralized Model Predictive Control Method for Arrays of Direct-drive Wave Energy Converters
it is an important trend to form multiple wave energy converters (WECs) into arrays. For arrays of direct-drive WECs
adopting an appropriate energy optimization control strategy can significantly improve their wave energy capture efficiency. However
due to the radiation coupling effects between bodies in arrays
existing centralized model predictive control (MPC) faces difficulties in online computation burden and engineering applications
while distributed MPC that regards each body as an independent system inevitably suffers from energy capture efficiency losses. In this regard
an improved centralized MPC method is proposed
in which the optimization horizon and constraint horizon are decoupled to significantly reduce the computation burden and improve the real-time control performance of the system while ensuring the overall energy capture efficiency. The performance of the constraint horizon decoupling method is analyzed through numerical simulation
and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified under multiple wave spectra and wave directions.
