Abstract

In this study, we aim to improve WECs’ performance for maximizing energy absorption through a sub-optimal method of phase control by latching is applied to the device. The forecasting of future wave force is required for the optimal control command deducted. An artificial neural network, namely LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) is proposed to accurately predict the short-term wave force. The hydrodynamic properties of a point absorber is analyzed based on the 3D potential flow theory in frequency-domain. Cummin’s equation and a 4th-order state-space model are used to efficiently represent the hydrodynamic behavior of the WEC under irregular waves in time-domain. The Nonlinear Autoregressive artificial neural network(NAR-ANN) and NARx network are used to verify the method proposed in this paper. The simulation results show that the mean square error value, root mean square error value and R2 value based on the LSTM prediction model are better than those of the NAR prediction model. The prediction performance of LSTM is more suitable for processing the time series.
