On the capture width of wave energy converters [PDF]
Applied Ocean Research, 2009 This paper extends the theory on capture width, a commonly used performance indicator for a wave energy converter (WEC). The capture width of a linear WEC is shown to depend on two properties: the spectral power fraction (a property introduced in this paper), which depends entirely on the sea state, and the monochromatic capture width, which is ...

Performance of arrays of direct-driven wave energy converters under optimal power take-off damping
AIP Advances, 2016 It is well known that the total power converted by a wave energy farm is influenced by the hydrodynamic interactions between wave energy converters, especially when they are close to each other. Therefore, to improve the performance of a wave energy farm,
