Influence of power take-off on flow field around oscillating water column wave energy converters: An experimental study based on particle image velocimetry

open access: yesApplied Ocean Research
In oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converters, the power take-off (PTO) system critically influences energy conversion. Although PTO configurations have been extensively optimized for energy conversion efficiency, their effects on water-column
