Theoretical investigation on an oscillating buoy WEC‐floating breakwater integrated system
IET Renewable Power Generation, Volume 15, Issue 14, Page 3472-3484, 26 October 2021., 2021 Abstract Based on the concept of cost sharing, an oscillating buoy wave energy converter‐ floating breakwater integrated system is proposed, in which the surge or pitch motion of the front‐pontoon equipped with Power Take‐off (PTO) system is allowed. In this study, the methods of eigenfunction matching and variables separation are applied to establish ...

IET Renewable Power Generation, Volume 15, Issue 14, Page 3109-3125, 26 October 2021., 2021 Abstract The oscillating‐water‐column (OWC) spar‐buoy is a type of wave energy converter that may exhibit undesirable large roll and pitch amplitudes caused by a dynamic instability induced by parametric resonance. The occurrence of this phenomenon not only reduces the power extraction but significantly increases the structural loads on the buoy, the ...

Performance of a plate‐wave energy converter integrated in a floating breakwater
IET Renewable Power Generation, Volume 15, Issue 14, Page 3206-3219, 26 October 2021., 2021 Abstract A plate‐wave energy converter (pWEC) moored in front of a floating stationary breakwater is considered. The pWEC is composed of a submerged flexible plate with piezoelectric layers bonded to both faces of it. Hence the elastic motion of the plate excited by water waves can be transformed into useful electricity due to the piezoelectric effect.
