Sustainable power sources have become indispensable in modern society. The most
promising renewable sources of energy are wind and ocean, which are widely distributed …

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 …

Unlike more established renewable energy conversion technologies, such as wind turbines,
wave power systems have reached neither commercial maturity, nor technological …

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 …

Combined floating breakwater and wave energy converter systems have the potential to
provide a cost-effective solution to offshore power supply and coastal protection. This will …

The high cost of power generation impedes commercial-scale wave power operations. The
objective of this work is to provide a cost-sharing solution by combining wave energy …

The hydrodynamic performance of a stationary cylindrical dual-chamber Oscillating Water
Column (OWC) wave energy device was experimentally studied to assess conversion …

A theoretical model based on the linear potential theory is presented for two heaving
oscillating water column (OWC) devices separated by a gap. The model includes relative …

Hydroelastic interaction between water waves and submerged porous elastic disks of
negligible thickness in water of finite depth is investigated under the assumption of small …

Combining wave energy converters (WECs) with a floating breakwater provides a potential
approach to help develop commercial-scale wave power operations. This paper aims to …
