Sustainable power sources have become indispensable in modern society. The most
promising renewable sources of energy are wind and ocean, which are widely distributed …

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 …

A practical model is developed to investigate the performance of a hybrid system with semi-
submersible floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) coupled to an array of point-absorbing …

In this paper, a concept of a floating elastic wave energy converter consisting of a disk-
shaped elastic plate is proposed. The floating plate is moored to the seabed through a …

An understanding of the hydroelastic response of a flexible circular plate to water waves is
relevant to many problems in ocean engineering ranging from offshore wave energy …

We present a theoretical model to investigate the hydrodynamics of a floating flexible
circular wave energy converter (WEC). Decomposition in rigid and bending elastic modes of …

In this paper, wave power extraction from a floating Clam-type wave energy converter is
investigated. The device is mainly composed of a Clam, which is formed from two pieces of …

In this paper, water wave interaction with an array of thin submerged horizontal circular
plates is investigated within the framework of linear potential flow theory. To consider a more …

We present a theoretical model of the hydrodynamic behaviour of a floating flexible plate of
variable flexural rigidity connected to the seabed by a spring/damper system. Decomposition …

The paper presents a monolithic finite element model for the hydro-visco-elastic analysis of
floating membranes interacting with ocean waves. The formulation couples linearised …
