Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, H., Wijaya, V. V., Zhang, Y., Zeng, T., & Dong, X. (2024, April). Non-Causal Control For Wave Energy Conversion Based on the Double Deep Q Network. Presented at CONTROL 2024: 14th United Kingdom Automatic Control Council (UKACC) International Conference on Control, Winchester, UK

To harness maximal wave energy, control and optimization for wave energy converters(WECs) have been investigated for decades. It has been long recognized that WEC control is essentially a non-causal control problem, in which future wave determines cu...
