Although wave energy prototypes have been proposed for more than 100 years, they have
still not reached full commercialisation. The reasons for this are varied, but include the …

There are more than thousands of concepts for harvesting wave energy, and wave energy
converters (WECs) are diverse in operating principles, design geometries and deployment …

Wave energy is a significant untapped renewable energy source which can be harnessed
by wave energy converters (WECs). The oscillating water column (OWC) is one of the most …

Ocean waves are a huge largely unexploited energy resource, and the potential for
extracting energy from waves is great. Research in this area is driven by the need to meet …

Oscillating Water Column (OWC)‐based power take‐off systems are one of the potential
solutions to the current energy problems arising from the use of nuclear fission and the …

After the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) the interest for clean
and renewable energy is high priority in global energy policy. In this sense, the ocean offers …

Ocean wave energy is a renewable energy which remains too costly for large-scale
electricity generation. The oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter (WEC) is …

Oceans, and particularly waves, offer a huge potential for energy harnessing all over the
world. Nevertheless, the performance of current energy converters does not yet allow us to …

The oscillating-water-column device equipped with an air turbine is regarded by many
researchers and developers as the simplest and most reliable wave energy converter. It has …

Marine hydrokinetic power generation is a relatively new type of renewable generation. Its
predecessors, such as wind power generation, hydropower plant generation, geothermal …
