Ocean waves are a promising source of renewable energy. In this paper, we briefly
introduce the characteristics of ocean wave energy and summarize the principles of …

The rapid worldwide growth of offshore renewable energy production will provide marine
organisms with new hard substrate for colonization, thus acting as artificial reefs. The …

Sardinia (Italy) is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and its economy is
penalized by high costs of electricity, which is double compared to the continental Italian …

This paper presents a novel permanent-magnet tubular linear generator (PMTLG) buoy
system designed to convert the linear motion of ocean waves into electrical energy. The …

The choice of the most suitable control strategy for wave energy converters (WECs) is often
evaluated with reference to the sinusoidal assumption for incident waves. Under this …

Generating electricity from waves is predicted to be a new source of renewable energy
conversion expanding significantly, with a global potential in the range of wind and …

The concern for climate change and energy consumption has increased the demand for
renewable energy production considerably. Marine energy sources attract attention because …

If wave energy systems are to become a viable option competitive with more mature
renewable energy sources, the systems must be optimized with respect to maximal …

Extreme waves are critical for the WEC's development. CFD toolboxes have been widely
used in the simulation of extreme waves–structure interaction. However, the quality of the …

Wave energy is one of the most attractive forms of renewable energy. The reasons include
its promising availability, predictability, persistence, and power density. This study focuses …
