A Flower Pollination Method Based Global Maximum Power Point Tracking Strategy for Point-Absorbing Type Wave Energy Converters

To maximize the generated output power under random waves, the control strategy of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is incorporated in point-absorbing type wave energy converter (WEC) system. However, due to the influence of mutative wave conditions, the curve of the maximum average power appears...
