Among the high-level programming languages are visual languages, which enable users to create computer programs by manipulating graphic elements. Many of these languages are based on the “box and arrows” approach, in which boxes, circles, etc., are treated as objects on the screen connected by arrows, lines, or arcs. Users…

Why the Focus on Energy Capture for Wave Energy?
Over the years there have been many different control approaches for Wave Energy Converters (WECs), from very simple controllers that provide a force proportional to the speed (linear damping) to more complex controllers that contain a detailed model of the WEC within the controller (Model Predictive Control or MPC). The…

Adam Stock and Ally Price attended the SuperGen ORE Hub Autumn Assembly in Oxford earlier this year, below are some of their take aways from the event. Deborah Greaves (Plymouth) – reported on the EPSRC project ‘Flexible responsive systems in wave energy’. They plan to invite collaborators to simulate their…
MORE / COER Wave Energy Control Workshop
Two HAPiWECers, Adam Stock and Ally Price, attended the MORE / COER Wave energy control workshop in April this year. The conference is usually held in Ireland (COER) and this year was hosted in Turin, Italy by their close collaborators MORE. Being the first international conference for both of us…
