This paper presents the results of a systematic experimental investigation into the effects of
different mooring configurations on the hydrodynamic performance of a 1: 36 scaled …

Floating solar farms in the coastal areas are subjected to more complex environmental loads
of tides and waves than lakes or reservoirs with greater challenges to their mooring. At …

To achieve cost parity with other renewables, the wave energy sector requires significant
cost reduction. Increasing the wind turbine scale is one successful route to cost reduction in …

This work studies the effects of the dynamic axial stiffness of elastic moorings on the
dynamic behaviour of a point absorber wave energy converter. Following two mooring …

The back-bent duct buoy (BBDB) can be used as a floating oscillating water column (OWC)
wave energy converter, showing its potential and reliability in most previous prototype sea …

To complement the topic on the integration of Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device with
breakwater structures, a novel integrated system composed of an offshore heaving OWC …

The hydrodynamics and the motions of a novel dual chamber floating oscillating water
column device are studied experimentally. This novel wave energy converter consists of the …

In this study, a novel floating dual-chamber backward bent duct buoy oscillating water
column (BBDB-OWC) wave energy converter (WEC) is introduced, featuring a horizontal …

Abstract A comprehensive Computational Fluid Dynamics study of a Dual Chamber Floating
Oscillating Water Column device fixed in space is presented. Firstly, the numerical wave …

A series of 1: 50 model tests are conducted to study the mooring dynamics of a dual-
chamber floating oscillating water column device. This device consists of two chambers …
