Although wave energy prototypes have been proposed for more than 100 years, they have
still not reached full commercialisation. The reasons for this are varied, but include the …

Unlike more established renewable energy conversion technologies, such as wind turbines,
wave power systems have reached neither commercial maturity, nor technological …

There are more than thousands of concepts for harvesting wave energy, and wave energy
converters (WECs) are diverse in operating principles, design geometries and deployment …

Even though ocean waves around the world are known to contain high and dense amounts
of energy, wave energy harvesters are still not as mature as other forms of renewable …

This review focuses on the most suitable form of hydrodynamic modeling for the next
generation wave energy converter (WEC) design tools. To design and optimize a WEC, it is …

The multiphysics system integration and modeling method, including hydrodynamic,
kinematic, and electromechanical models, were developed. A one-way plucking-driven …

Linear dynamics are virtually always assumed when designing optimal controllers for wave
energy converters (WECs), motivated by both their simplicity and computational …

The levellised cost of energy of wave energy converters (WECs) is not competitive with fossil
fuel-powered stations yet. To improve the feasibility of wave energy, it is necessary to …

Considerable effort has been expended on the design of control systems for wave energy
converters (WECs) over the past two decades. Working from the fundamental requirement of …

This paper studies the multidisciplinary nature of two body wave energy converters by a
parametric study based on the Taguchi method which helps to understand the effect of …
