Abstract

A wave power converter: Pendulor, works with 40% efficiency at an optimal condition. Irrespective of change the wave climate, anAutonomous Optimization Control (AOC) adjusts hydrostatic power transmission to keep the Pendulor in the best match with thewaves. This is a new system to know the wave climate from the Pendulor motion. AOC improves the system reliability and solvesload sharing problem in the HST lines.
