Wave energy is substantial as a resource, and its potential to significantly contribute to the
existing energy mix has been identified. However, the commercial utilization of wave energy …

Renewable energy techniques are now gaining more and more attention as the years pass
by, not only because of the threat of climate change but also, eg due to serious pollution …

Many wave energy converters have been developed in the past century with various power
takeoff systems, including those devices with air turbines, linear electromagnetic motors, and …

Optimal control theory is applied to compute control for a single-degree-of-freedom heave
wave energy converter. The goal is to maximize the energy extraction per cycle. Both …

This paper presents an automatic multiobjective hydrodynamic optimization strategy for
pump–turbine impellers. In the strategy, the blade shape is parameterized based on the …

The electrical damping of point-absorber wave energy converters is crucial to optimize the
power output. Many circuit topologies have been proposed, but the possible increase in …

Abstract Based on the Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations, a three-dimensional (3-D)
mathematical model for the hydrodynamics and structural dynamics of a floating point …

Environmental impacts from wave energy generators on the local mobile mega-and
macrofauna community have been investigated in the Lysekil project by Uppsala University …

In general, a major challenge for the exploitation of renewable energies is to improve their
efficiency. In electricity generation from the energy of ocean waves, not unlike other …

This paper provides a summarized status update ofthe Lysekil wave power project. The
Lysekil project is coordinatedby the Div. of Electricity, Uppsala University since 2002, with …
