Abstract

The HAPiWEC project (Holistic Advanced Prototyping and Interfacing for Wave Energy Control) aims to design, build and operate a rapid-prototyping tool for control of wave energy converters (WECs). This paper describes the design considerations for the rig, the control hardware and the associated workflows and methods. A systematic design process was employed to specify the requirements and identify which were synergistic or conflicting. Several iterations were required to converge on an integrated solution.
