The inerter has garnered much attention in the past two decades owing to its unique
mechanical characteristics. As a substitution of the capacitance element based on the …

Combining multiple-types of Wave Energy Converters (WECs) and integrating them into in-
development or pre-existing marine platforms can reduce the total Levelised Cost of Energy …

Combing floating breakwaters with wave energy converters (WECs) and integrating them
into very large floating structure (VLFS) can provide a viable option to explore economically …

The hybrid concept of multi-type wave energy converters provides viable solutions to
improve the wave energy exploitation per-unit area and reduce the Levelised Cost of …

In this paper, wave power extraction from a floating Clam-type wave energy converter is
investigated. The device is mainly composed of a Clam, which is formed from two pieces of …

Inspired by the lightweight passive vibration control technology, in this work a new anti-
vibration device is proposed to significatively improve the protection for stationary …

This paper presents a pendulum-type wave energy conversion (WEC) system, which can
change its natural frequency by a center of gravity adjustment mechanism. Based on this …

As the two-body heaving wave energy converter (TBH-WEC) moves toward more
commercial and large-scale applications, it usually has to be deployed in the form of arrays …

In this study, a novel hybrid system combining a vertical pile-supported comb-type
breakwater (CTB) and an oscillating flap (OF) is proposed, to absorb effectively long-period …

This paper introduces a novel point absorber wave energy converter (WEC) with tuned
variable inerter (TVI). Originally, the tuned inerter (TI), consisting of a tuning spring, an …
