Abstract
This chapter presents two control methods, MPEC for maximum power extraction of Smart-WEC and MLCT for life cycle extension of tidal energy converter. The results show that MPEC significantly increase power extraction by the Smart-WEC. Also, in order to eliminate speed sensor in the MLCT technique, an artificial neural network is adopted to estimate the tidal speed.
