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 …

Extracting wave energy is a promising solution for renewable energy production because of
the high energy intensity of ocean waves when compared to other renewable energy …

We review wave energy conversion technologies for niche applications, ie, kilowatt-scale
systems that allow for more agile design, faster deployment and easier operation than utility …

Integrating wave energy converters into coastal structures such as breakwaters, seawalls or
jetties not only offers benefits in terms of construction costs but also improves wave energy …

Bottom hinged oscillating wave surge converters are known to be an efficient method of
extracting power from ocean waves. The present work deals with experimental and …

This review covers and discusses various aspects of carotenoids including their chemistry,
classification, biosynthesis, extraction methods (conventional and non-conventional) …

Oyster® is a surface-piercing flap-type device designed to harvest wave energy in the
nearshore environment. Established mathematical theories of wave energy conversion …

Wave farms consist of arrays of wave energy converters. However, ocean waves perturbed
by one device will interact with its neighbouring devices, which can lead to more or less …

Optimal control theory is applied to compute control for a single-degree-of-freedom heave
wave energy converter. The goal is to maximize the energy extraction per cycle. Both …

Optimization of the layouts of arrays of wave energy converters (WECs) is a challenging
problem. The hydrodynamic analysis and performance estimation of such systems are …
