Wave energy converters are an important part of future renewable energy infrastructure. Predicting their power matrix, capture width ratio, and power take-off loads at a targeted site …
We investigate the performance of a novel power takeoff (PTO) featuring belt-arc speed amplification for oscillating surge wave energy converters (OSWECs), aiming to address the …
Modeling and simulation of wave energy converters based on linear wave theory limits the analysis to small wave amplitudes. In high sea-state conditions, large wave amplitudes lead …
