A Review of Point Absorber Wave Energy Converters
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 There are more than thousands of concepts for harvesting wave energy, and wave energy converters (WECs) are diverse in operating principles, design geometries and deployment manners, leading to misconvergence in WEC technologies.

Modelling and simulation of a wave energy converter [PDF]
ESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, 2021 In this work we present the mathematical model and simulations of a particular wave energy converter, the so-called oscillating water column. In this device, waves governed by the one-dimensional nonlinear shallow water equations arrive from offshore, encounter a step in the bottom and then arrive into a chamber to change the volume of the air to ...

A serpent-type wave energy converter
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractThe problem of the interaction of waves with a serpent-type wave energy converter was investigated, and a novel 3D analytical solution was derived. The optimal parameters of the energy converter were derived for the first time from wave energy principles. The results show that the wave power captured by the device increases with increasing wave

An LCA of the Pelamis wave energy converter [PDF]
The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 2018 Abstract Purpose To date, very few studies have attempted to quantify the environmental impacts of a wave energy converter, and almost all of these focus solely on the potential climate change impacts and embodied energy.

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2022 The failure probability of the wave energy converters is exceptionally high, which again increases the operation cost of the entities. The cause of this high cost lies in the fact that various factors influence the production efficiency of the converters.
