Description:

This thesis presents novel control strategies and modeling techniques for hybrid offshore renewable energy systems that combine oscillating water columns (OWCs) with floating offshore wind turbines. Leveraging artificial intelligence and nonlinear control methods, the research aims to enhance efficiency, stability, and real-time operational performance of these hybrid systems.
