“…Power output has been estimated from the piston force and speed; such an estimation method has been used in consideration of the relatively low level of expected output power. The system installed in the Naples towing tank is depicted in Figure 4 for one of the tested configurations (see [26] for a more detailed description of the test configurations). During a test run, the time histories of piston force, displacement, and speed were recorded.…”

“…Finally, the buoyant body displacement around its equilibrium position is derived by a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT), which transduces the linear position of the system. The collected data have been used to compare the experimental results with the ones derived by an accurate numerical model [26].…”

Marine energy sources represent an attractive and inexhaustible reservoir able to contribute to the fulfillment of the world energy demand in accordance with climate/energy regulatory frameworks. Wave energy converter (WEC) integration into the main grid requires both the maximization of the harvested energy and the proper management of the generation variability. The present paper focuses on both these mentioned issues. More specifically, it presents an embedded point pivoted absorber (PPA) and its related control strategy aimed at maximizing the harvested energy. Experimental and numerical investigations have been carried out in a wave/towing tank facility in order to derive the design characteristics of the full-scale model and demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

The bulk commodity, different with the retail goods, has a uniqueness in the location selection, the chosen of transportation program and the decision objectives. How to make optimal decisions in the facility location, requirement distribution, shipping methods and the route selection and establish an effective distribution system to reduce the cost has become a burning issue for the e-commerce logistics, which is worthy to be deeply and systematically solved. In this paper, Logistics warehousing center model and precision marketing strategy optimization based on fuzzy method and neural network model is proposed to solve this problem. In addition, we have designed principles of the fuzzy method
