The ocean waves are an important renewable energy resource that, if extensively exploited,
may contribute significantly to the electrical energy supply of countries with coasts facing the …

The development of devices for extracting wave energy from the ocean is largely supported
by numerical models, as they allow the simulation of different configurations without the …

The paper presents an optimization design procedure for wave energy converters (WECs) of
the oscillating water column (OWC) type, where main dimensions and geometry of the wave …

Experiments and several numerical studies were done on a power-take off system of a novel
floating wave energy convertor. The wave energy convertor utilizes the changes in surface …

The development of wave energy converters is centred on the combination of two factors:
cost-effectiveness of energy extraction and system survivability on extreme sea conditions …

The paper presents a concept of a wave energy converter and the numerical model to
calculate the hydrodynamic responses in waves and the power produced by the power take …

The world energy consumption is estimated to increase considerably over the next decades.
In the dynamic evolution of the renewable energy sector, a wave energy industry is …

This research revolves around the concept design and theoretical validation of a new type of
