The Optimal Configuration of Wave Energy Conversions Respective to the Nearshore Wave Energy Potential

Energies, 2022
Ocean energy is one potential renewable energy alternative to fossil fuels that has a more significant power generation due to its better predictability and availability. In order to harness this source, wave energy converters (WECs) have been devised and used over the past several years to generate as much energy and power as is feasible.

Slingshot Resonance for Ocean Wave Energy Conversion [PDF]

Marine Systems & Ocean Technology, 2019
The slingshot effect and its application to converting ocean wave energy are discussed. It is shown that, owing to the large inertia transported by ocean waves and their periodicity, the slingshot effect can result in the transmission of significant kinetic energy to a puck colliding elastically with a pusher plate driven by ocean wave motion.

Detecting parametric resonance in a floating oscillating water column device for wave energy conversion: Numerical simulations and validation with physical model tests

Applied Energy, 2020
The wave energy sector has faced enormous technological improvements over the last five decades, however, due to the complexity of the hydrodynamic processes, current numerical models still have limitations in predicting relevant phenomena. In particular,
