A review of some representative floating wave energy converter (WEC) projects in the world,
including the wave energy capturing technology, development history, main dimensions and …

Wave energy provides a renewable and clear power for the future energy mix and fights
against climate change. Currently, there are many different wave energy converters, but their …

The ocean covers approximately 70% of the earth's surface and contains an immense
source of renewable energy, in terms of ocean waves. However, this resource is unevenly …

For wave energy converters (WECs), wind turbines, etc., estimation of response extremes
over a selected exposure time is important during design. Sources of uncertainty arising …

It is necessary to evaluate site-specific extreme environmental conditions in the design of
wave energy converters (WECs) as well as other offshore structures. As WECs are generally …

A wave energy converter must be designed to survive and function efficiently, often in highly
energetic ocean environments. This represents a challenging engineering problem …

Governments worldwide are setting ambitious targets for renewable energy sources as a
response to the ongoing climate crisis, leading to increased investment in offshore wind …

This article presents an example by which design loads for a wave energy converter (WEC)
might be estimated through the various stages of the WEC design process. Unlike previous …

Considering the massive simulations required by the full long-term analysis, the
environmental contour method is commonly used to predict the long-term extreme …

Long-term extreme design loads have typically been estimated using an environmental
contour (EC) approach, in which the maximum extreme responses of a structural system …
