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 …

Ocean waves contain one of the world's largest untapped and predictable renewable energy
sources that can be used to fulfil the energy demand in the present energy crises situation …

Water wave energy is a vital renewable‐energy resource, but it is less developed due to the
characteristics of water wave with low and varying frequency. Herein, a bifilar‐pendulum …

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 …

The wave energy sector has made and is still doing a great effort in order to open up a niche
in the energy market, working on several and diverse concepts and making advances in all …

Ocean waves are a promising source of renewable energy. In this paper, we briefly
introduce the characteristics of ocean wave energy and summarize the principles of …

Mathematical analysis is an essential tool for the successful development and operation of
wave energy converters (WECs). Mathematical models of moorings systems are therefore a …

Abstract Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is used here to simulate a
heaving point-absorber with a Power Take-Off system (PTO). The SPH-based code …

Power Take-off (PTO) is one of the most critical components in the field of ocean wave
energy conversion. This paper introduces a novel compact mechanical PTO using a ball …
