A power take-off and control strategy in a test wave energy converter for a moderate wave climate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The energy in the waves of oceans and seas can be converted to electricity by different types of Wave Energy Converters (WECs). Wave energy conversion is currently widely studied to contribute to the world’s rising energy needs.

Catching the right wave: evaluating wave energy resources and potential compatibility with existing marine and coastal uses. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Many hope that ocean waves will be a source for clean, safe, reliable and affordable energy, yet wave energy conversion facilities may affect marine ecosystems through a variety of mechanisms, including competition with other human uses.

Geometric renormalization of large energy wave maps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
There has been much progress in recent years in understanding the existence problem for wave maps with small critical Sobolev norm (in particular for two-dimensional wave maps with small energy); a key aspect in that theory has been a renormalization ...

Conceptual Design and Simulation of a Self-Adjustable Heaving Point Absorber Based Wave Energy Converter

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Different concepts and methods have been proposed and developed by many researchers to harvest ocean wave energy. In this paper, a new self-adjustable wave energy converter concept is presented, which changes its inertia through ballasting and de ...

Low-temperature excitations within the Bethe approximation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We propose the variational quantum cavity method to construct a minimal energy subspace of wave vectors that are used to obtain some upper bounds for the energy cost of the low-temperature excitations. Given a trial wave function we use the cavity method

Power Take-Off Simulation for Scale Model Testing of Wave Energy Converters

open access: yesEnergies, 2017
Small scale testing in controlled environments is a key stage in the development of potential wave energy conversion technology. Furthermore, it is well known that the physical design and operational quality of the power-take off (PTO) used on the small ...

An innovative approach for energy generation from waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Sustainable energy generation is becoming increasingly important due to the expected limitations in current energy resources and to reduce pollution. Wave energy generation has seen significant development in recent years.

Numerical Assessment of Onshore Wave Energy in France: Wave Energy, Conversion and Cost

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
There are few general analyses of the interest of onshore wave energy converters (onshore WEC) in terms of resources, efficiency and cost. The case of The Channel on the Atlantic coast of France is chosen here to illustrate the issues related to onshore ...

Dominant Wave Energy Systems and Conditional Wave Resource Characterization for Coastal Waters of the United States

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Opportunities and constraints for wave energy conversion technologies and projects are evaluated by identifying and characterizing the dominant wave energy systems for United States (US) coastal waters using marginal and joint distributions of the wave ...

A modified plane wave model for calculating UV photo-ionization cross-sections [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
Photoionization cross-sections are calculated for a number of molecules, using a plane wave method. Agreement with experimental data is considerably improved with respect to common plane wave results if the energy of the photoelectron is assumed to equal
