人类碳足迹的影响值得关注和补救。海洋可以提供丰富的可再生能源，而不是以波能形式存在的化石燃料。然而，波浪能量收集需要在成本和效率方面具有可比性，才能被认为是一种可行的替代方案。点吸收波能转换器(PA-WEC)是一种利用海洋波能的方法。以往的研究提供了优化单个PA-WEC控制力参数的方法。本文提出了优化PA-WEC阵列控制力参数的方法；优化考虑了辐射流体动力相互作用、绕射流体动力相互作用、阵列布置和波入射角等因素。在第2节中，我们概述了确定最优控制力的步骤。在第三节中，我们给出了PA-WEC的数值模拟，并比较了单个PA-WEC系统和阵列PA-WEC系统的结果。
The effects of humanity's carbon footprint deserve attention and remediation. The ocean can provide an abundant source of renewable energy instead of fossil fuels in the form of wave energy. However, wave energy collection needs to be comparable in terms of cost and efficiency to be considered a viable alternative. Point Absorber Wave Energy Converter (PA-WEC) is one method of capitalizing on the ocean's wave energy. Past research provides methods for optimizing control force parameters for single PA-WECs. This paper provides methods for optimizing control force parameters for arrays of PA-WECs; optimization considers factors such as radiation hydrodynamic interactions, diffraction hydrodynamic interactions, array arrangements, and wave incident angles. In section 2, we outline the steps to determining optimal control forces. In section 3, we present numerical simulations of PA-WECs and compared the results between single PA-WEC systems and arrayed PA-WEC systems.
