Maximizing Output Power in Oscillating Water Column Wave Power Plants: An Optimization Based MPPT Algorithm

This paper proposes an optimization based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for selection of appropriate external rotor resistances of wound rotor induction generator (WRIG). The generator coupled with a Wells turbine is used in oscillating water column (OWC) wave power plants. The Wells...
