As a type of promising renewable energy, marine renewable energy is expected to
contribute to a global optimization of the energy mix. Research, development, and …

The development and utilization of wave energy converters (WEC) have been intensively
investigated in recent years. The point-absorber wave energy converter (PA-WEC) is one of …

In this paper, the influence of the spatial configuration of a wave energy converter (WEC)
array upon total power output is investigated. A power prediction model has been proposed …

Ocean wave energy is one of the most abundant energy sources in the world. There is a
wide variety of wave energy conversion systems that have been designed and developed …

The effects of humanity's carbon footprint deserve attention and remediation. The ocean can
provide an abundant source of renewable energy instead of fossil fuels in the form of wave …

A pile-restrained floating wave energy converter (WEC) array is proposed as an alternative
to a single floater of the size of the array for use as a floating breakwater. The …

Abstract Based on the Wave Energy Capture Spectrum (ECS) theory, the characteristics of
the ECS of a cylindrical heaving buoy WEC with consideration of linear PTO damping are …

Hydrodynamic performance and power absorption of an oscillating buoy wave energy
converter (WEC) with 3 degrees of freedom (DOFs) are studied. The DOFs are surge, heave …

End-stop problem is a critical issue in the hydraulic power take-off (PTO) system. This paper
focuses on studying the conversion mechanism of the hydraulic PTO system of the proposed …

With the development of wave energy converters (WECs), multi-degree-of-freedom (multi-
DOF) buoy has become popular. The effect of nonlinear phenomena, such as wave run-up …
