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 …

A wave flume is used to study a scaled model of a stepped bottom dual-chamber Oscillating
Water Column (OWC) installed onshore. Compared to traditional single-chamber OWCs, the …

A comprehensive experimental study is carried out to investigate the efficiency of a novel
floating dual-chamber Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter device in terms of …

Wave energy offers a promising renewable energy source, however, technologies
converting wave energy into useful electricity face many design challenges. This guide …

Abstract The Oscillating Water Column (OWC) is one of the most popular Wave Energy
Convertor (WEC) technologies, but the energy conversion efficiency is still very low and is a …

This paper aims to study the improvement in hydrodynamic efficiency of an OWC device by
dividing a single chamber into multiple chambers. The two-dimensional incompressible …

The main objective of this paper is to analyse the hydrodynamic efficiency of offshore
stationary OWC devices with different configurations through two-dimensional computational …

The hydrodynamics and the motions of a novel dual chamber floating oscillating water
column device are studied experimentally. This novel wave energy converter consists of the …

The integration of wave energy converters (WECs) with a breakwater can reduce
construction and maintenance costs and enhance the energy conversion performance of …
