Impact of Wave Dragon on Wave Climate

, 2006
This report is an advisory paper for use in determining the wave dragon effects on hydrography, by considering the effect on the wave climate in the region of a wave dragon. This is to be used in the impact assessment for the Wave Dragon pre-commercial demonstrator.

Hydraulic Model Tests on Modified Wave Dragon

, 2001
A floating model of the Wave Dragon (WD) was built in autumn 1998 by the Danish Maritime Institute in scale 1:50, see Sørensen and Friis-Madsen (1999) for reference. This model was subjected to a series of model tests and subsequent modifications at Aalborg University and in the following this model is denoted the 1. generation model.

The Wave Energy Device:Wave Dragon

, 2006
The Wave Dragon is a 4 to 11 MW offshore wave energy converter of the overtopping type. It basically consists of two wave reflectors focusing the waves towards a ramp, a reservoir for collecting the overtopping water and a number of hydro turbines for converting the pressure head into power.

Dark Matter Distinguished by Skewed Microlensing in the “Dragon Arc”

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Many microlensed stars discovered by JWST closely follow the winding critical curve of A370 along the “Dragon Arc” with m _AB  > 26.5, which we show comprises asymptotic giant branch stars microlensed by the observed level of diffuse cluster stars ...

An Indirect Foot-End Touchdown Detection Method for the Underwater Hexapod Robot

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The underwater hexapod robot has advantages such as lower energy consumption and reduced environmental interference compared to ROVs and AUVs. The foot-end contact detection with the seabed is the key technology for adapting to complex terrains.

Tolkien’s Japonisme: Prints, Dragons, and a Great Wave

Tolkien Studies, 2013
The original September 1937 George Allen & Unwin edition of The Hobbit features artwork by J.R.R. Tolkien along with an accompanying dust jacket. This latter work is a modern, stylized graphic design composed of a not entirely symmetrical view of a Middle-earth landscape (night to the left, day to the right), with the Lonely Mountain rising in the ...

Advanced Control Techniques for WEC Wave Dragon

, 2007
This paper presents the ongoing work on control of the Wave Dragon wave energy converter. Research is being conducted in and between several centers across Europe. This is building upon the knowledge gained in the prototype project, and will enable much better performance of the future deployment of the full scale Wave Dragon.

Modelling of the Overtopping Flow on the Wave Dragon Wave Energy Coverter

, 2010
The Wave Dragon is a floating slack-moored Wave Energy Converter of the overtopping type, which is facing now the last phase of development before the commercial exploitation: the deployment of a full-scale demonstrator. In this phase a modelling tool allowing for accurate predictions of the performance of the device at different scaling ratios and ...

Wave Induced Stresses Measured at the Wave Dragon Nissum Bredning Prototype

, 2006
The paper describes the wave induced loading on the overtopping based wave energy converter Wave Dragon. Focus is put on the junction between the main body and the reflector, also called the "shoulder part", where large cross sectional forces and bending moments acts.
