Abstract :
A two phase wave energy emulator is developed to imitate the expected voltage sourced waveforms generated from a direct drive wave energy converter (DDWEC). H-bridge working in conjunction with DDWEC is considered in two control schemes. The emulator provides convenience in testing power electronics for DDWEC in the laboratory.
