Power absorption modelling and analysis of a multi‐axis wave energy converter

IET Renewable Power Generation, 2021
A point absorber wave energy converter (WEC) which converts wave energy into electrical energy with a multi‐axis power‐take‐off (PTO) system is considered here. Previous wave tank trials have proved the ability of the multi‐axis WEC to absorb wave power.
