This paper presents an initial experimental study of wave energy converters concentrically
arranged and attached on a floating offshore platform model. The 1: 27 scale model, has …

Present study considers the performance of a truss-type octagonal platform coupled with
multiple wave energy converters (WECs). A numerical model was established to investigate …

Arrays of heaving point absorbers in various arrangements are analysed to study their
performance in terms of the amount of power absorption and the power uniformity among …

The variable displacement oil-hydraulic pumps for the Power Take-Off (PTO) of wave energy
converters must work above 80% of maximum displacement in order to have an overall …

The combined offshore wind and wave energy on an integrated platform is an economical
solution for the offshore energy industry as they share the infrastructure and ocean space …

This paper presents a novel methodology for site selection of Offshore Renewable Energy
(ORE) systems, addressing the growing global energy demand and the need for sustainable …

In the present study, the hydrodynamic performance of circular and concentric arrangements
of cone-cylinder-type heaving point absorbers around a Submerged Tension-Leg Platform …

This paper presents a study regarding a novel hybrid concept for both wind and wave
energy offshore. The concept resembles a semi-submersible wind platform with a larger …

The active control of wave energy converters with oil-hydraulic power take-off systems
presents important demands on the electrical drives attached to their pumps, in particular on …

A new conceptual dual-buoy Wave Energy Converter (WEC) for the enhancement of energy
extraction efficiency is suggested. Based on actual wave data, the design process for the …
