Abstract
Wave energy shows potential to provide electricity in a renewable manner. The TALOS WEC (Wave Energy Converter) is a unique design with six PTO (Power Take-Off) elements to provide six Degrees of Freedom (DOFs), which is potentially able to harvest energy more efficiently than traditional single-DOF devices. As a step towards its optimisation and control, a power prediction model is developed, using the wave elevation and motions of the WEC to predict the power output of each PTO. The results show that using LSTM (Long-Short Term Memory) has a higher prediction accuracy than the other approaches considered.
