Prototype testing of the wave energy converter wave dragon [PDF]
Renewable Energy, 2006 The Wave Dragon is an offshore wave energy converter of the overtopping type. It consists of two wave reflectors focusing the incoming waves towards a ramp, a reservoir for collecting the overtopping water and a number of hydro turbines for converting the pressure head into power.

Life cycle assessment of the wave energy converter: Wave Dragon [PDF]
, 2007 Any power production technology should be able to demonstrate that it's able to comply with current and future environmental regulation and that it demonstrates a considerable surplus in the energy balance being a part of the entire power system. This means that the energy used throughout all the lifecycle stages; from provision of materials over ...
