Preliminary Verification and Validation of WEC-Sim, an Open-Source Wave Energy Converter Design Tool [PDF]

open access: yesVolume 9B: Ocean Renewable Energy, 2014
To promote and support the wave energy industry, a wave energy converter (WEC) design tool, WEC-Sim, is being developed by Sandia National Laboratories and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. In this paper, the WEC-Sim code is used to model a point absorber WEC designed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s reference model project.

Environmental Variables Influence on Spatial Distribution of Bacterial Communities Across the English Channel in Two Main Productive Seasons

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
In the English Channel, the main environmental variables were SPM, POM, PIM, NO2−/NO3+ and salinity in spring and salinity, SPM, Si and Chl‐a in summer. Most of the spring communities had a higher proportion of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria, while most of the summer communities had a higher proportion of Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria,

Stemflow Hydrodynamics

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Stemflow hydrodynamics is the study of water movement along the exterior surface area of plants. Its primary goal is to describe water velocity and water depth along the stem surface area. Its significance in enriching the rhizosphere with water and nutrients is not in dispute.

Multiple model predictive control for offshore wind turbines operating in the full‐load range

open access: yesAsian Journal of Control, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 2023-2036, July 2025.
Abstract This paper presents a multiple model predictive control (MMPC) strategy based on an individual blade pitch (IBP) mechanism to control floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) when operating in the full‐load range (above the rated wind speed).
