Automatic Control Of Dynamic Systems

Automatic Control Of Dynamic Systems, 1st Edition, provides a dedicated treatment of control engineering techniques formulated specifically for ocean wave energy conversion. The work introduces core physical theoretical principles while establishing how dynamic system models operate under environmental wave forcing. It offers researchers in applied optimal control a structured approach to analyzing wave energy converters.

The volume integrates foundational hydrodynamic modeling with dynamic system representations. Readers explore practical control methods ranging from PID control and state space realization to specialized strategies such as Latching Control and Bang-Bang Control. These technical sections illustrate how specific controller formulations influence device movement and power extraction.

To reinforce technical concepts, the volume includes problem questions at the end of each chapter that permit self-assessment. This design assists researchers and engineers working on wave energy conversion as they verify their analytical calculations.
