Numerical Simulations and Control of Offshore Energy Harvesting Using Piezoelectric Materials in a Portal Frame Structure

Buoy systems are an alternative for micropowering small devices in remote locations. Portal frames are very useful to harvest the energy of the waves into usable energy. Thus, using the current models for a portal frame in the literature and the spectrum of available energy in sea waves, a nonlinear...
