1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

A wave energy converter (WEC) utilizing the inertial gyroscope coupled with a hydraulic power take-off (PTO) unit for energy transformation and application is investigated. The structure design of various components of WEC are introduced. Power is obtained by the dynamic response of the floating body under the excitation of wave energy, and converted into gyroscopic precession in the form of swing angle and torque, and directly to drive the hydraulic pump module of the hydraulic PTO system to output the hydraulic energy. The fluctuation of pressure and flow in the hydraulic PTO system can be adjusted and smoothed by means of the accumulator, which can effectively improve power output stationarity of the hydraulic motor-generator. The mathematical models of energy conversion and transmission process encompassing the wave-to-hydraulic PTO unit are established. The impact rules of major variables in the gyroscope and hydraulic PTO unit acting on WEC system are investigated by numerical simulations. It can provide scientific basis for optimizing utilization of this wave energy conversion system, and provide mathematical guidance for the optimization control of the WEC system. To improve the computation real time and control precision of power output of the hydraulic motor-generator unit, an Adaptive Hierarchical Model Predictive Control (AHMPC) method is proposed and put into used. The AHMPC strategy utilizes a larger wave prediction sequence level to solve the offline unconstrained energy maximization control problem, and then a smaller level to deal with the online constraints. The AHMPC method saves 3 times the computation time compared to the traditional MPC method, reduces the energy fluctuation amplitude in the system by 96%, so that the hydraulic motor-generator can operate at the desired speed based on the available wave forecast information while satisfying the state constraints.
