Abstract
Short-term wave forecasting plays a crucial role for the control of a wave energy converter (WEC), in order to increase the energy harvest from the waves, as well as to increase its life time. In the paper it is shown how the surface elevation of the waves and the force acting on the WEC can be predicted using FIR filter. The predictors have been validated in laboratory with unidirectional regular and irregular waves. Here a single point absorber, (1:20) scale of the Wavestar device, is used. The results show that it is possible to predict wave and forces acting on the device using a properly designed FIR filter.
