However, multi-dish systems often suffer from coupled trade-offs among concentration, spot uniformity, and geometric stability, which can limit thermal efficiency and increase hot-spot risk in high-temperature applications. This study targets this coupled-design challenge by enabling a controllable and robust focal spot in a modular multi-dish architecture. This study presents a four-dish off-axis conjugate concentrator optimized through a global optimization framework that integrates ray-tracing simulations with a unified objective function. The objective is to achieve high effective concentration while simultaneously improving flux uniformity and spot geometry under practical alignment/manufacturing uncertainties. The framework adopts a staged dynamic-weighting strategy to achieve a smooth transition from \"energy concentration\" to \"focal spot quality\". Unlike traditional approaches that vary numerous complex structural parameters, the proposed design constrains the optimization space to radial and axial displacement, focal length, and receiver dimensions, thereby simplifying assembly requirements while still enabling high-dimensional exploration of optical behavior. Optimization results demonstrate coordinated improvements across all metrics: the concentrator sustains <span><math><mrow><msub><mi>C</mi><mn>95</mn></msub></mrow></math></span> above the design threshold (<span><math><mrow><msub><mi>C</mi><mtext>threshold</mtext></msub><mo>=</mo></mrow></math></span> 600), increases spot uniformity from 0.38 to 0.53, reduces RMS radius to 38 mm, and lowers the shape factor to 0.25, yielding a compact and geometrically stable focal spot.

A hybrid forecasting model is leveraged to predict the turbine's power output by discerning nonlinear wind-wave interactions, thereby furnishing preliminary power predictions for the subsequent two-stage variability reduction control. Spectral analysis is exploited to delineate wave-dominant frequencies in the initial stage of the control process, whilst an adaptive moving average algorithm adjusting the smoothing window dimensions dynamically, thereby refining power equilibrium. The second-stage control deploys a dual-mode pitch regulation methodology that distinguishes between two regions autonomously, applying proportional control for small-angle corrections to maximize energy capture beneath rated wind speeds judiciously, whereas constrained pitch control adjustments are activated during wind power ramp events to suppress excessive power slope variations. The robustness of the proposed framework is validated through experimental analysis utilizing offshore wind farm telemetry data, where frequency-domain decomposition reveals that 97.06% of spectral energy remains within aerodynamic-dominant frequencies, suppressing wave-induced oscillations effectively.
