Abstract:
Short-term wave prediction is a key enabling technology for advanced control of
wave energy converters (WECs), where accurate knowledge of the incident wave
field over one to a few wave periods can improve power capture, reduce structural
loads, and support operational decision-making. While many existing prediction
methods rely on either measurements at the prediction point or dedicated up-wave
sensors, such approaches are costly and impractical for dense WEC arrays. This
thesis investigates whether a wave energy converter array can instead function
as a distributed sensing system for short-term wave prediction, using only
measurements available within the array.
