CFD analysis of devices i oscillating water column - OWC

, 2015
The paper is about the development of a fluid-dynamic model for simulating the behaviour of a device for the production of electric energy based on an oscillating water column (OWC). First of all it has been developed a 3-D model of the device using a tool in order to create the grid used for the simulation. The

Control strategies for oscillating water column wave energy converters [PDF]

, 2014
The oscillating water column wave energy converter (OWCWEC) is an established device which produces electricity by causing an ocean wave to drive air through a turbine. A system to control the operation can improve the device's performance.

Hydrodynamic Investigation of a Concentric Cylindrical OWC Wave Energy Converter

Energies, 2018
A fixed, concentric, cylindrical oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter (WEC) is proposed for shallow offshore sites. Compared with the existing shoreline OWC device, this wave energy device is not restricted by the wave directions and ...
