Numerical analysis of operation of a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) using CFD

Enfoque UTE, 2023
The present study numerically analyzes, using CFD, the operation of a wave energy converter (WEC) with local sea conditions. The dynamics of the device caused by the propagation of the waves was characterized in the commercial software ANSYS Fluent applying domain reduction criteria, structured cells, and dynamic mesh with 6DOF.

Point absorber wave energy converters in regular and irregular waves with time domain analysis [PDF]

, 2016
A discrete control of latching is used to increase the bandwidth of the efficiency of the Wave Energy Converters (WEC) in regular and irregular seas. When latching control applied to WEC it increases the amplitude of the motion as well as absorbed power.

Fault Diagnosis Methods Based on Fuzzy Logic and Artificial Neural Networks Approaches for Wind Turbine PWM Inverter

IET Electric Power Applications, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This study explores fault diagnosis methods for PWM inverters in a wind energy conversion system using a doubly fed induction generator. Two intelligent diagnostic techniques, fuzzy resonant logic and artificial neural networks, are proposed. The fuzzy logic method monitors inverter faults in real time, whereas the neural network method uses 3D feature
