It is recognised that specific site and ever time varying flow conditions pose monitoring challenges. For all turbine and/or blade deteriorations, fault diagnosis and prognostics are vital elements to secure planned maintenance operations. Approaches and results are reported from within the wider Cardiff Marine Energy Research Group (CMERG) activities. In particular results from 2 different experimental regimes are reported; water flume testing of a 0.5m diameter physical scale model; and wind tunnel evaluations using smaller scale models, of blade and support structure constituents. The application field is reviewed, along with introductions, justifications and discussion of the approaches used.","PeriodicalId":395329,"journal":{"name":"2017 Twelfth International Conference on Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies (EVER)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115667027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This, in order to recharge the battery. The first objective aims to recover the maximum kinetic energy available. To achieve this task, the electric motor is used until the reach of its torque limits while an additional hydraulic brake force is exerted at the rear wheel only when it is needed. The second objective aims to improve the brake efficiency by performing the tracking of the ideal brake force distribution. An original aspect of this paper is the proposal of a brake force distribution strategy between the front and rear axles which is based on the tracking of the ideal brake torque (I-curve). The experimental results obtained with a recreational three-wheel electric vehicle validates the implementation of the proposed ideal collaborative braking control strategy.","PeriodicalId":395329,"journal":{"name":"2017 Twelfth International Conference on Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies (EVER)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125254155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to emulate an operating direct drive wave energy converter, study power quality improvement and test different control strategies, a wave-to-wire model has been developed. Although control study for wave energy converters is often limited to the hydrodynamic control, this paper addresses the dynamic modeling of all the conversion stages, from the waves to the electric network. First, the wave energy converter used for this study is presented and a model for the electric parts is proposed (including a back-to-back converter). Then, control strategies are discussed, in order to regulate the generator electromagnetic torque, the DC-link voltage and the grid voltages and reactive power. Simulation results considering these control strategies are presented in the last part.","PeriodicalId":395329,"journal":{"name":"2017 Twelfth International Conference on Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies (EVER)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132040895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
