Optimization of Wave Energy Converter Arrays by an Improved Differential Evolution Algorithm

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
Since different incident waves will cause the same array to perform differently with respect to the wave energy converter (WEC), the parameters of the incident wave, including the incident angle and the incident wave number, are taken into account for ...

Circular-Slide Wave Energy Converter [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Engineering Research, 2015
A CS-WEC utilizes an artificial spring created by feedback control of sliding-mass angle on the circular track; it is free of problems associated with mechanical springs. This paper also demonstrates that the harvested power is always more with the spring than without, and with the spring, the power harvest is insensitive to load.
