Hydrodynamic Performance of an Array of Wave Energy Converters Integrated with a Pontoon-Type Breakwater

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
The cost of wave energy converters (WECs) can be reduced significantly by integrating WECs into other marine facilities, especially in sea areas with a mild wave climate.

Critical stresses arising in the destruction of a floating reinforced concrete pontoon [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2021
The article discusses the stress-strain state of a reinforced concrete floating pontoon caused by critical stresses before its destruction. The investigation was motivated by the destruction of the pontoon, which occurred under extreme wind and wave ...

An evolution of pontoon traps for cod fishing (Gadus morhua) in the southern Baltic Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
With increasing seal populations in the Baltic Sea comes growing interaction between seals and coastal fisheries. The impact of seals, mainly grey seal (Halichoerus grypus), on fisheries can be reduced by implementing of seal-safe fishing gear, which ...

The Stability of the Conveyor Belt Pontoon [PDF]

open access: yesTransactions of the VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava, Mechanical Series, 2011
To lead the conveyor belt transport cross water area the pontoon are used to support the carrying structure of the belts. The accident can happen when the pontoon turnover. For this reason the pontoon stability is investigated.

Theoretical investigation on an oscillating buoy WEC‐floating breakwater integrated system

open access: yesIET Renewable Power Generation, 2021
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.
