This paper addresses the current status and future research and development perspectives
associated with technologies to harness offshore renewable energy, including offshore …

Ocean wave renewable energy is becoming a key part of the renewable energy industry
over the recent decades. By developing wave energy converters (WECs), their power take …

Inefficiency and intermittency caused by high variabilities of wave properties are common
problems in existing wave energy technology. Resonant wave energy conversion …

To achieve cost parity with other renewables, the wave energy sector requires significant
cost reduction. Increasing the wind turbine scale is one successful route to cost reduction in …

With the increase in global environmental problems and the energy crisis, the oscillating
wave surge converter has been extensively studied in the past decades owing to its simple …

Oscillating wave surge converters (OWSCs) are generally of rectangular geometries. What
kind of flap shape is better is still not clear. Thus, this study proposes some bionic flaps by …

This study investigates numerically the dynamic responses of the T-Omega Wind novel
concept of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine. The turbine is light-weight, has a shallow-draft …

Based on the boundary element method, the frequency-domain dynamic equations of
bottom-hinged oscillating wave surge converters under regular and irregular waves in …

Abstract The Oscillating Wave Surge Converter (OWSC) has been widely adopted in energy
extraction from sea waves in recent years, particularly in relatively shallow water areas. In …

Predicting the response of point absorber wave energy converters (WECs) in extreme sea
states is crucial for assessing their survivability. However, data are scarce and …
