New Developments and Capabilities Within WEC-Sim

open access: yesVolume 8: Ocean Renewable Energy, 2023
Abstract WEC-Sim is an open-source software for simulating wave energy converters and has been actively developed and applied since its initial release in 2014 to simulate a wide variety of device archetypes. WEC-Sim is developed jointly by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories within the MATLAB ...

A designed two-body hinged raft wave energy converter: From experimental study to annual power prediction for the EMEC site using WEC-Sim [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Engineering, 2023
The present study aims at providing more data and insights for the hinged type WEC, especially focusing on the two-body hinged raft WECs. Two WECs are considered: a well-studied generic hinged raft WEC (G-HRWEC) and a 1:25 scale designed hinged raft WEC (

Development and Validation of Passive Yaw in the Open-Source WEC-Sim Code

Volume 9: Ocean Renewable Energy, 2020
Abstract A passive yaw implementation is developed, validated, and explored for the WEC-Sim, an open-source wave energy converter modeling tool that works within MATLAB/Simulink. The Reference Model 5 (RM5) is selected for this investigation, and a WEC-Sim model of the device is modified to allow yaw motion.

Modeling of a Wave Energy Oscillating Water Column as a Point Absorber Using WEC-Sim

IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy, 2020
This study evaluates the accuracy of using the open-source wave energy converter modeling Wave Energy Converter-SIMulator (WEC-Sim) code to model an oscillating water column (OWC) as a virtual point absorber. WEC-Sim is a free open-source hydrodynamic modeling extension of MATLAB/Simulink and is designed primarily for ease of use and the modeling of ...
