As international efforts to address climate change grow, an increasing number of countries
and companies have put forward a clear “net zero” goal through accelerated renewable …

Ocean wave energy is attractive for its large reserves, exploitability and low emissions.
Although many Wave Energy Converter (WEC) concepts have been proposed, high …

Wave energy converters (WECs) integrated into floating breakwaters or, more generally,
their designs also used as wave absorbers can provide a space-and cost-sharing solution to …

Combining multiple-types of Wave Energy Converters (WECs) and integrating them into in-
development or pre-existing marine platforms can reduce the total Levelised Cost of Energy …

Abstract The multi-chamber Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device has recently become
more attractive due to its potential high efficiency. In this paper, the hydrodynamic …

In this paper, a system which integrates an oscillating buoy type wave energy converter with
a vertical pile-restrained floating breakwater is introduced. A preliminary experimental study …

The hybrid concept of multi-type wave energy converters provides viable solutions to
improve the wave energy exploitation per-unit area and reduce the Levelised Cost of …

A theoretical model based on linear potential flow theory and an eigenfunction matching
method is developed to analyse the hydroelastic interaction between water waves and …

Currently, ocean wave energy technology is in its infancy relative to the mature renewable
energy technologies such as wind and solar. Due to its early stage of development, ocean …

We consider the motion of a thin elastic plate with non-uniform thickness. The plate is either
submerged and has some inclination with the vertical or is floating on the upper surface of …
