Wells turbine control in wave power generation plants
TL;DR: In this article, a control scheme for the flow coefficient is derived based on the addition of external resistances in series with the rotor winding of the induction generator connected to the turbine, and it is demonstrated that the average power of the turbine and generator are significantly higher in the controlled case than in the uncontrolled one.

Wave generation by an oscillating surface-pressure and its application in wave-energy extraction
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional analysis based on linear surface-wave theory is developed for an oscillating-water-column wave-energy device in water of arbitrary constant depth, and the results show that air compressibility can be important in practice, and its effects may in general be satisfactorily represented by linearization.
