Wave energy provides a renewable and clear power for the future energy mix and fights
against climate change. Currently, there are many different wave energy converters, but their …

An adjustable draft point absorber was recently proposed as a novel approach to improve
power absorption with constrained power take-off (PTO) capacities. The key feature of the …

Wave-to-Wire models play an important role in the development of wave energy converters.
They could provide insight into the complete operating process of wave energy converters …

Abstract The Power Take-Off (PTO) rating of Wave Energy Converters (WECs) is generally
much higher than the average extracted power. Scientific literature has indicated that …

A crucial part of wave energy converters (WECs) is the power take-off (PTO) mechanism,
and PTO sizing has been shown to have a considerable impact on the levelized cost of …

A modified spectral-domain (SD) model is introduced in this study to address the nonlinear
hydrostatic restoring force for heaving wave energy converters (WECs) with non-uniform …

Ocean wave energy is a widely available and largely unexploited renewable energy source.
Generation equipment needs to operate reliably and withstand rough seas, so power …

The power take-off (PTO) system is a core component in wave energy converters (WECs) as
it plays a critical role in power production. In numerical models the PTO systems are …

Ocean wave energy has a huge potential to make a contribution to global energy transition.
However, the high Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) is currently a big hurdle to the …

A spectral domain model is established to analyze the performance of a recently proposed
wave energy concept, namely the adjustable draft point absorber. The non-linear hydrostatic …
