Enhancing the Performance and Coordination of Multi-Point Absorbers for Efficient Power Generation and Grid Synchronization Control

The increased use of renewable energy in modern power grids has led to a demand for innovative technologies that can efficiently harness intermittent energy sources. Multi-Point Absorber (MPA) systems have emerged as a promising solution for capturing wave and tidal energy sustainably. This study focuses on developing advanced control strategies for MPA systems to improve their performance and coordination in power generation and grid integration for both AC and DC networks. The research begins with a comprehensive review of MPA technologies, highlighting their challenges and opportunities. It then explores the development of control algorithms that dynamically adjust MPA parameters in real-time, optimizing energy extraction efficiency. The paper also addresses the crucial aspect of grid integration, investigating power electronics interfaces and synchronization techniques to enhance grid stability. Additionally, bidirectional power flow capabilities are discussed, enabling functions like frequency regulation and voltage control. The novelty of this work lies in the development of adaptive control algorithms for MPA systems, surpassing previous efforts by incorporating real-time data for parameter adjustments. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of these advanced control strategies through simulations and implementation, evaluating energy conversion efficiency, grid compatibility, and system reliability across various conditions compared to conventional methods. The results emphasize the significance of bidirectional power flow capabilities in achieving enhanced functionality, such as frequency regulation and voltage control. This paper provides valuable insights into optimizing MPA systems, showcasing their potential to revolutionize sustainable energy capture and integration into modern power grids.
