Miniature Wave Energy Converter (WEC)
Abstract In this project, I present a design of a scale model of a linear generator (LG) similar to a full size Wave Energy Converter (WEC) being developed at Uppsala University since 2002 and commercialized by Seabased AB. The purpose of a WEC is to convert the energy from ocean waves into electrical energy.

Wave Energy Converter (WEC) Array Effects on Wave Current and Sediment Circulation: Monterey Bay CA.
The goal s of this study were to develop tools to quantitatively characterize environments where wave energy converter ( WEC ) devices may be installed and to assess e ffects on hydrodynamics and lo cal sediment transport. A large hypothetical WEC array was investigated using wave, hydrodynamic, and sediment transport models and site - specific average

Modelling the Dynamics and Forcesof Wave Energy Converters using WEC-Sim
The waves traveling on the surface of the world’s oceans carry atremendous amount of energy. The ability to convert this energy forhuman use has the potential to help solves the worlds energy problem. Adirect-drive linear generator point absorber is a wave energy converter(WEC) that aims to reduce the complexity of the overall system andshelter the ...

WEC-Sim Modeling of Laminar Scientific's Patented Seesaw Wave Energy Converter
Laminar Scientific’s patented seesaw wave energy converter was modeled in WEC-Sim to predict performance. The device operates by utilizing ocean surface waves to rotate a truss in pitch about a pivot. The pivot is located at the top of two pylons, which are embedded in the seafloor.
