A commercial wave energy system will typically consist of many interacting wave energy
converters installed in a park. The performance of the park depends on many parameters …

Wave energy offers a promising renewable energy source, however, technologies
converting wave energy into useful electricity face many design challenges. This guide …

Absorbing wave power from oceans for producing a usable form of energy represents an
attractive challenge, which for the most part concerns the development and integration, in a …

Wave energy converters (WECs) extract energy from ocean waves and have the potential to
produce a significant amount of electricity from a renewable resource. However, large “WEC …

An experimental campaign of arrays with direct-driven wave energy converters of point-
absorbing type is presented. The arrays consist of six identical floats, moving in six degrees …

Currently, several WECs exist with different absorption mechanisms and subsystems.
Hence, a general formulation to describe the dynamics of all possible devices is a nontrivial …

The lack of deployed wave farms means direct measurement of the effects of Wave Energy
Converter (WEC) arrays on near-field and nearshore wave propagation is not possible. As a …

A frequency domain hydrodynamic assessment was carried out using WAMIT on buoy type
wave energy converters (WECs), constrained to move in heave only. Control of the power …

Wave-energy converters (WECs) usually comprise a wave-energy absorber and a reaction
supporter on which the wave forces can work. The reaction supporter can promote the …
