N2 - This paper discusses a new method for enhanced power conversion with heaving point absorbers. The proposed scheme incorporates an intelligent neuro-adaptive controller for efficient heave velocity tracking. A novel algorithm is presented to generate the reference velocity signal by introducing a power loss control factor. It is observed through computer simulations that by increasing this factor improves the captured wave energy, which in turn enhances the converted electrical power. Overall, superior performance is achieved by the proposed methodology as opposed to the traditional passive control technique.
