“…Although it is possible to formulate SD wave-to-wire models for various combinations of captors and PTO systems, this work focuses on a heaving point absorber concept coupled with a linear PM generator. This is because this concept has received a lot of attention in recent years, and both its hydrodynamic and electrical characteristics have been well demonstrated (Giorgi et al, 2016;Polinder et al, 2004;Tokat, 2018). Thus, it can be expected to be a representative reference to verify the proposed model.…”

The technology used in wave energy conversion systems is still in the early stages of research and development. There are a number of challenges associated with becoming a commercially viable source of renewable energy due to the high operating and maintenance (O&M) costs. A potential solution for increasing the availability of wave energy converters (WECs) and reducing operating and maintenance costs might involve the implementation of condition monitoring and fault-tolerant control systems, because in some reported WEC systems, 57% of total operational expenses go to maintenance activities. The use of condition monitoring techniques in wind energy systems has, for instance, shown the ability to detect failures months in advance, resulting in savings of 15–20% during the operational phase. This paper reviews the methods proposed (and some used) by researchers to monitor WEC’s condition and diagnose faults. Fault-tolerant control methods developed to improve the reliability of WECs and hence their commercial viability are also reviewed and discussed. In addition, a future research plan is provided here.

Wind and wave energy have gained significant attention in recent years as high-quality renewable energy sources. Commercial applications of these technologies are still in their infancy and do not offer significant benefits to the general public due to their low economic efficiency. The main objective of this paper is to contribute to the commercialization of wind and wave energy. The first step toward achieving this goal is to review equation models related to the economic benefits of wind and wave energy. A case study approach is then used to examine several successful offshore wind and wave energy conversion devices. As a result of this examination, we identify limitations and difficulties in commercializing and developing wind and wave energy. Finally, we propose various measures to address these challenges, including technological innovation, policy support, and market regulation. Research and decision-makers interested in the promotion of renewable energy sources will gain valuable insights from this study, which will ultimately lead to the adoption of sustainable energy practices for the benefit of society and the environment.
