Wells turbine for wave energy conversion : a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In the past twenty years, the use of wave energy systems has significantly increased, generally depending on the oscillating water column (OWC) concept. Wells turbine is one of the most efficient OWC technologies.

Assessment of Breakwater as a Protection System against Aerodynamic Loads Acting on the Floating PV System

open access: yesEnergies
Offshore floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems are subjected to significant aerodynamic forces, especially during extreme wind conditions. Accurate estimation of these forces is crucial for the proper design of mooring lines and connection systems. In this

Peak mooring forces in the horizontal interlaced multi-layered moored floating pipe breakwater

open access: yesInternational Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2011
Present study aims to investigate the influence of relative breakwater width W/L (W=width of breakwater, L=wavelength), wave steepness Hi/gT2 (Hi=incident wave height, T=wave period) and relative wave height d/W (d=water depth) on forces in the moorings ...

Optimized modelling on lateral separation of twin pontoon-net floating breakwater

open access: yesJournal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2019
Since the attribute of wave energy transmission is susceptible to lateral separation (S/D) between twin pontoons of floating breakwater, employing improper S/D may cause ineffective attenuation in the amount of wave energy.
