Numerical investigations of a pivoted point absorber wave energy converter integrated with breakwater using CFD

Ocean Engineering, 2023
Wave energy resources are enormous and widely distributed worldwide and evaluated as resources to replace fossil fuels. One of the methods to collect wave energy is using a point absorber device, which is a device designed to react sensitively to the ...

Hydrodynamic characteristics of a hybrid oscillating water column-oscillating buoy wave energy converter integrated into a π-type floating breakwater

Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2022
Combing multi-type wave energy converters (WECs) and integrating them into in-development or pre-existing marine platforms have the potential to break commercial-scale barriers to exploit wave energy due to high construction cost.

Seabed liquefaction around breakwater heads at a river mouth: An integrated 3D model [PDF]

, 2021
In this paper, a 3D model is developed to investigate the foundation stability around breakwaters at a river mouth, where both ocean waves and river currents are considered. The present model consists of flow and seabed sub-models. In the flow sub-model,

Performance of a plate‐wave energy converter integrated in a floating breakwater

IET Renewable Power Generation, 2021
: A plate-wave energy converter (pWEC) moored in front of a floating stationary breakwater is considered in this paper. The pWEC is composed of a submerged flexible plate with piezoelectric layers bonded to both faces of it. Hence the elastic motion of the
