The proposal of new technologies capable of producing electrical energy from renewable
sources has driven research into seas and oceans. Research finds this field very promising …

Over recent decades, the exploitation of wave energy resources has sparked a wide range
of technologies dedicated to capturing the available power with maximum efficiency …

Assessments of global wave power have been receiving increasing attention currently;
however, a characterization of the global resources that holistically consider the different …

The selection of areas for wave energy development requires a thorough characterisation of
the resource. For all its importance, wave power should not be the only criterion, and overly …

Offshore wind energy and wave energy are two exploitable sources of renewable energy
available in the same marine environment. A co-located energy harvesting system of these …

The oscillating-water-column (OWC) wave energy converter with air turbine has been object
of extensive research and development effort, including the deployment of floating and fixed …

The world's oceans, covering approximately 71% of the Earth's surface, harbor vast wave
energy resources, offering a potential solution to the pressing energy crisis and …

Coastal studies of wave climate and evaluations of wave energy resources are mainly
regional and based on the use of computationally very expensive models or a network of in …

The paper concerns the development of the PTO (power take-off) control of an OWC
(oscillating-water-column) spar-buoy wave energy converter. The OWC spar-buoy is an …

This study aims to determine the optimal pressure for the accumulator tank in a wave energy
converter (WEC) with hydraulic power take-off (PTO) to maximize energy generation. A …
