Wave Energy ConvertersWave Energy Converter (WEC) (WECsWave Energy Converter (WEC)) represent a promising technology for harvesting renewable energyRenewable energy from ocean waves. However, the nonlinear dynamics of WECsWave Energy Converter (WEC), coupled with unpredictable and highly variable sea states, make their control a challenging task. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of control strategies designed to optimize energy extraction and ensure system stability. Passive, reactive, and latching controls are discussed as foundational approaches, each offering trade-offs between simplicity, efficiency, and complexity. Advanced methods such as Model Predictive Control (MPCModel Predictive Control (MPC)) are highlighted for their capability to incorporate forecasting and system constraints, albeit with high computational demands. Finally, robust and adaptive controlAdaptive control techniques are examined, emphasizing their ability to handle uncertainties, parameter variations, and environmental disturbances. Comparative insights and deployment considerations are presented, aiming to guide future developments in efficient and reliable WECWave Energy Converter (WEC) control.
