5.2. Additional Reading

The following references specifically focusing on WecOptTool are available:

• Optimal control of wave energy converters [5] - While written years before the development of WecOptTool, Giorgio Bacelli’s doctoral thesis provides much of the framework upon which WecOptTool is based.
• Initial conceptual demonstration of control co-design for WEC optimization [3] - This paper presents the basic framework of WecOptTool along with a series of examples using the Sandia WaveBot.
