Thus, the foremost flexible structure of the Wave Carpet design is split into\narticulated multiple discrete, solid pieces and moreover, a single piece connected to a 1DOF (Heave) only\nPTO is being subject to performance advancing control assessment.\n\nThis report details the results of simulation studies carried out on two simplified models of the wave\ncarpet using discrete element method. First, we consider the case of a single plate absorber and extend\nthis example to a two-plate absorber configuration. Performance benchmarking results are presented for a\ndeep-water DOE reference site.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://mhkdr.openei.org/files/330/CalWave%20rev4%20AK%2012-13-19.pdf", "description": "This report details the controls optimization simulations  to improve performance of the Wave Carpet from CalWave.", "format": "pdf", "mediaType": "application/pdf", "title": "CalWave Controls Report.pdf"}], "identifier": "https://data.openei.org/submissions/8489", "issued": "2020-08-26T06:00:00Z", "keyword": ["AEP", "BIEM", "CA", "CalWave", "GEOMXACT", "Humboldt Bay", "Hydrokinetic", "MHK", "MPC", "Marine", "Optimal linear damping", "PTO", "WAMIT", "WEC", "annual energy", "average power", "boundary element", "boundary integral equation method", "code", "control", "controls", "deep-water reference site", "design", "discrete element method", "energy", "excitation force", "heave", "linear damping", "mesh", "model predictive control", "optimization", "plate absorber", "power", "power take-off", "radiation damping", "rated power", "submersed", "wave", "wave carpet"], "landingPage": "https://mhkdr.openei.org/submissions/330", "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/", "modified": "2025-08-26T06:00:02Z", "programCode": ["019:009"], "projectLead": "Bill McShane", "projectNumber": "EE0007173", "projectTitle": "Development of Optimal Control System for Three Different WEC Devices", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Re Vision Consulting"}, "spatial": "{\"type\":\"Polygon\",\"coordinates\":[[[-180,-83],[180,-83],[180,83],[-180,83],[-180,-83]]]}", "title": "Wave Carpet Controls Design Optimization"}
