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

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 …

Integrating oscillating-water-column type converters (pneumatic chambers) with slack-
moored floating breakwaters can be a viable option for cost-sharing between wave 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 oscillating water column (OWC) device is in a leading position for wave power
extraction but has not achieved fully commercial at the current stage. In addition to …

Oscillating water column (OWC) is one of the mechanisms for extracting wave energy from
ocean waves. In this study, we experimentally investigated the hydrodynamic performance …

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 …

A pile-restrained floating wave energy converter (WEC) array is proposed as an alternative
to a single floater of the size of the array for use as a floating breakwater. The …

Floating breakwaters have received growing attention in recent years from academic and
engineering sectors alike. The wave-dissipating components are commonly attached to the …
