In the last decade, there has been a growing trend towards flexible body wave energy
converters (WECs) enabled by rubber-like elastomeric composite membrane structures that …

In this paper, we address the energy maximization problem of wave energy converters
(WEC) subject to nonlinearities and constraints, and present an efficient online control …

In this work, a numerical model is developed in order to investigate the adaptability of the
multi-pump multi-piston power take-off (MP 2 PTO) system of a novel wave energy converter …

This paper presents a nonlinear frequency domain model and uses this to assess the
performance of a wave energy converter (WEC) array with a nonlinear power take-off (PTO) …

Wave energy is claimed to be the most powerful source of renewable energy and at the
same time an area of research with many prospects for development. The subject of the …

The aim of this work is to assess the influence of different degrees of adaptability of the
power take-off (PTO) system on the power absorption of dense wave energy converter …

To investigate the conditions where wave energy resource is sparse, a novel semi-
submersible floating-array-buoy wave energy converter (SFABWEC) system was proposed …

Wave energy is one of the most remarkable energy in the ocean, which bears attractive
characteristics including inexhaustible, renewable and more predictable. Nowadays, the …

A novel floating-array-buoys wave energy converter (FABWEC) system integrating multi-
point absorption wave energy capturing technology and single-point catenary mooring …

In this work, we develop a frequency-domain model to study the hydrodynamic behaviour of
a floater blanket (FB), ie, an array of floater elements individually connected to power take …
