Zeng, C., Gaspar, J.F., Mendes, M.J.G.C. and Guedes Soares, C. (2023), Hardware-in-the-loop testing framework for active accumulator wave energy converters, 15th European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (EWTEC 2023), 4-7 September, Bilbao, Spain, paper 430, pp. 1-12
This paper presents a generic hardware-in-the-loop testing framework and taxonomy and their application to a new oil-hydraulic power take-off concept for wave energy converters. In this concept, the charging condition of the oil-hydraulic accumulator is regulated to adapt the damping and stiffness characteristics of the wave energy converter to each sea state condition, to increase the wave energy harvesting performance and conversion efficiency. The present approach is also intended to contribute to the design of hybrid simulations clearly and appropriately since a proper hardware-in-the-loop framework and taxonomy have been not found in the research literature.
