Assessment of the Power Output of a Two-Array Clustered WEC Farm Using a BEM Solver Coupling and a Wave-Propagation Model

Energies, 2018
One of the key challenges in designing a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) farm is geometrical layout, as WECs hydrodynamically interact with one another. WEC positioning impacts both the power output of a given wave-energy project and any potential effects on

Hydrodynamic characteristics and parametric optimizations of a hybrid system combining a hinged wave energy converter and a breakwater with a semi-opened moonpool

Energy Conversion and Management
Combining a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) with a floating breakwater to enhance both wave attenuation and the energy capture performance is a plausible pathway to commercializing wave energy technologies.

Analysis on Evaluations of Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute’s Wave Energy Converter’s Field Data Using WEC-Sim and Gazebo: A Simulation Tool Comparison

Applied Sciences
Although many studies have validated wave energy converter (WEC) numerical models against scaled prototype experimental data, there remains a notable lack of validation using data from full-scale deployed WECs. This paper compares two numerical models of

Four-quadrant force control with minimal ripple for linear switched reluctance machines

CES Transactions on Electrical Machines and Systems, 2020
Linear switch reluctance machine (LSRM) has been tried to act as an alternative generator for direct drive linear wave energy converter (WEC). Many researchers have proposed new topologies of LSRM to improve the power density, efficiency and reliability.

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
