Description
The work aims to achieve optimal tidal energy conversion through a comprehensive approach of modeling, optimization, and control hardware-in-the-loop (CHIL) validation. By developing accurate models and employing optimization techniques, it seeks to identify efficient system configurations and control strategies. HIL validation will ensure the performance and reliability of the optimized tidal energy conversion system. The preparation of the present manual has been supported by the U.S. Department of Energy.
