Optimal design of wave energy maximum output power based on simulated annealing algorithm

Abstract

As one of the largest new energy sources, wave energy has received a lot of attention from governments in various countries. In recent years, researchers in various countries have done a lot of work on the collection and conversion of wave energy, and the utilization of wave energy is getting higher and higher. The problem of further optimizing the wave energy harvesting device can be solved by using optimization algorithms, which need to be intelligent due to the complexity of the problem. The simulated annealing algorithm is a classical intelligent optimization algorithm that can perform global optimization of the objective function with excellent results. In this paper, the output power of float-vibrator type wave energy devices is optimized using the simulated annealing algorithm, and the optimal values of important parameters are obtained, which play a reference significance for practical development.
