Abstract

This study examines the TALOS wave energy converter that is equipped
with multiple PTOs to enable multi-axis wave energy capture. In order
to optimize the control of multiple PTOs, a WEC-Sim model of TALOS
has been used to quantify the impact of PTO stiffness and damping and
to understand the influence of separately actuating individual PTOs
rather than actuating all PTOs in the same way.
