Existing wave energy technology has been designed for ocean waves, which, however,
shorten the lifespan of wave energy converters and mooring systems. Furthermore …

Ocean wave energy is attractive for its large reserves, exploitability and low emissions.
Although many Wave Energy Converter (WEC) concepts have been proposed, high …

The integration of oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converters into a coastal
structure (breakwater, jetty, pier, etc.) or, more generally, their installation along the coast is …

The OBREC is an overtopping structure which is integrated into a traditional rubble-mound
breakwater to convert wave energy into electricity. The relatively simple geometry of this …

In this paper, a novel hybrid breakwater-WEC system consisting of a Helmholtz resonance
oscillating water column (OWC) caisson array and a perforated wall is proposed to attenuate …

Ocean waves constitute an abundant source of clean and predictable energy, with the
potential to partly replace carbon intensive energy sources. At present, several technologies …

This paper presents an innovative vertical breakwater cross-section integrating an
overtopping wave energy converter, named OBREC-V, and the analysis of its hydraulic …

Co-located offshore wind turbines and wave energy converters are of great interests as
several studies established that combined power productions are more predictable, less …

Extreme waves generated by hurricanes, together with storm surges, have led to severe
damage and even failures in many offshore structures. This paper presents a novel …

In recent years, seaports have faced increasing pressure to transition towards a low-carbon
and more sustainable energy model. In this context, the exploitation of the local wave energy …
