This paper introduces a new software package (WaveDyn) dedicated to the modelling of wave energy converters (WECs). It consists of a multi-body, nonlinear equation of motion solver with multiple modules: wave characterisation, hydrodynamic data loader, power take-off (PTO), moorings, and control. The software relies on external (commercially available)

Optimization of linear generator designs for wave energy converter (WEC) system in Malaysia
2016 6th International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems (ICIAS), 2016This paper presents the optimization process of proposed generator designs for Wave Energy Converter (WEC) system in Malaysia. Two initial generator designs have been proposed and their open-circuit simulation results have been acquired. Both designs are optimized in term of total number of coil turns, split ratio and pitch ratio to increase 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.Kimball, Chelsea +3 more

Defect and Diffusion Forum, 2017
The ocean wave energy conversion into electricity has been increasingly researched in the last years. There are several proposed converters, among them the Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device has been widely studied. The present paper presents a two-dimensional numerical investigation about the fluid dynamics behavior of an OWC Wave Energy Converter (

Offshore Technology Conference, 2014
Abstract Cost of energy is a critical factor to the success of Wave Energy Converters (WEC), in order for wave energy converters to compete with other forms of renewable and fossil-fuelled power generation. Essentially, the energy converted into electricity by a WEC is a function of the resource the converter is ...

Automated Design Exploration of the TALOS Wave Energy Converter Using the TOP-WEC Framework
Proceedings of the European Wave and Tidal Energy ConferenceDespite significant investment and numerous prototype deployments, many wave energy converter (WEC) developers have struggled to achieve sufficient power production to attract long-term investment, leading to the failure of several companies. A key challenge has been the lack of rigorous early-stage design exploration and optimization, resulting in ...
