AB  - The roadmap to a successful commercialisation ofwave  energy  inherently  incorporates  the  concept  of  anarrayorfarmof Wave Energy Converters (WECs). These interactinghydrodynamic structures require an optimised process that canensure the maximum extraction of time-averaged energy fromocean  waves,  while  respecting  the  physical  limitations  of  eachdevice  and  actuator  characteristics.  Recently,  a  novel  optimalcontrol  framework  based  on  the  concept  ofmoment,  for  asingle WEC device, has been introduced in [1]. Such a strategyoffers  an  energy-maximising  computationally  efficient  solutionthat can systematically incorporate state and input constraints.This paper presents the mathematical extension of the optimalcontrol framework of [1] to the case where an array of WECsis  considered,  providing  an  efficient  solution  that  exploits  thehydrodynamic interaction between devices to maximise the totalabsorbed  energy.
