Hydraulic PTO model emulator for WEC tank tests
In order to accelerate the overall power take off (PTO) design effort and to cheaply evaluate alternative designs, the construction of the real hydraulic PTO can be replaced with the design of a hydraulic PTO model emulator. This has the added advantage that it can be applied at model testing scales, where real hydraulic hardware would not give ...

Enhancing Thermo‐Osmotic Low‐Grade Heat Recovery by Applying a Negative Pressure to the Feed
Thermo‐osmotic energy conversion is supposed to convert low‐grade heat into power. The efficiency can be improved by applying negative pressure to the feed liquid. The theoretical calculation, computational fluid dynamics simulation, and experiments are carried out to verify the method.

Abstract Ocean wave energy is sustainable and renewable energy, wave energy conversion (WEC) effectively solves the disadvantage of traditional power system with fossil energy. WEC system is the power generation process that converts wave kinetic energy of undulation and swing into electric energy, and direct‐drive WEC system (D‐DWEC) converts wave ...
