Control strategy of the ´MRG´wave energy converter (WEC)
RE&PQJ, 2009 This paper presents the control strategy proposed for a new wave energy converter (WEC) design, the MGR. The control aims to maximise the energy absorption from waves, adapting converter's resistance to the incoming wave size. The MGR is a near shore submerged converter that takes advantage of the oscillating water column created by the wave when it ...

Wave energy converters as offshore wind farm guardians: a pathway to resilient ocean systems [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMaximizing the durability and reliability of offshore wind farms is essential for the clean energy transition. In this work, we demonstrate how wave energy converter (WEC) farms can shelter offshore wind farms from cyclic wave loading, resulting in ...

Computational modeling applied to the study of wave energy converters (WEC) [PDF]
Marine Systems and Ocean Technology, 2014 The employment of numerical methods to solve engineering problems is a reality, as well as, the worldwide concern about the need of renewable and alternative energy sources. Thus, this work presents a computational model capable of simulating the operating principle of some Wave Energy Converters (WEC).
