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 …

One area with significant potential for cost reduction is the shape and geometry design of
wave energy converters (WECs) to facilitate the development of these devices. Recent …

An experimental and numerical comparison of the performance of two self-reacting point
absorber wave energy converter designs is undertaken for heave motions. The designs are …

Absorption of wave energy may be considered as a phenomenon of interference between
incident and radiated waves generated by an oscillating object; a wave-energy converter …

Axisymmetric point absorbers are mostly designed as floating buoys that extract power from
heave motion. Power absorption limits of such wave energy converters (WECs) are …

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

Wave energy conversion can have a significant role in the transition to a net-zero energy
system. However, cost reductions are still required for this technology to be commercially …

A wave energy converter (WEC) similar to the CETO system developed by Carnegie Clean
Energy is considered for design optimisation. This WEC is able to absorb power from heave …

This paper investigates the hydrodynamics of a seabed-mounted, bottom-hinged, flap-type
wave energy converter in shallow water. A conceptual model of the hydrodynamics of the …

A nonlinear stiffness mechanism installed in a floating point absorber (FPA) in regular waves
allowed for studying the influence of the nonlinear behavior on wave energy harvesting …
