Numerical study of bean-float wave energy converter with float number parametrization using WEC-Sim in regular waves with the Levelized Cost of Electricity assessment for Indian sea states

Ocean Engineering, 2021
Abstract Present study deliberates on the numerical analysis of a new, bean-shaped, multi-body floating wave energy converter (BFWEC) using an open-source time-domain modeling tool called WEC-Sim (Wave Energy Converter SIMulator). The proposed device is a directionally-insensitive, floating-point absorber with a set of bean-shaped floats attached ...

Development and Demonstration of The WEC-Sim Wave Energy Converter Simulation Tool

, 2014
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) have developed WEC-Sim to provide the wave energy converter (WEC) design community with an open-source simulation tool. WEC-Sim models the system dynamics of WEC devices using multi- body dynamics methods and simulates hydrodynamic forces using coefficients predicted

Control of a point absorber wave energy converter in extreme wave conditions using a deep learning model in WEC-Sim

OCEANS 2023 - Limerick, 2023
The survivability of wave energy converters (WECs) is one of the challenges that have a direct influence on their cost. To protect the WEC from the impact of extreme waves, it is often to over-dimension the components or adopt survivability modes e.g. by

Analysis of a Floating Wave Energy Converter With Hydraulic-Mechanical Power Take-Off Using WEC-Sim and SIMSCAPE

Volume 9: Ocean Renewable Energy, 2020
Abstract A novel multibody ‘self-reacting’ floating wave energy converter, which constitutes a set of ‘bean’ shape tubular floats which pitch relative to the central spar (CS) resulting in net heave, is introduced in the present study abbreviated as BFWEC. The frequency-domain modeling is performed assuming potential wave theory (PWT) to

Beyond Wave Energy: Applications of the WEC-Sim Open-Source Software

Volume 5: Ocean Renewable Energy
Abstract Initially released in 2014, the Wave Energy Converter SIMulator (WEC-Sim) is an open-source software (OSS) originally developed for simulating wave energy converters. The software is developed in MATLAB/Simulink using the multi-body dynamics solver Simscape Multibody. WEC-Sim models floating systems that are comprised of bodies,

COER Hydrodynamic Modeling Competition: Modeling the Dynamic Response of a Floating Body Using the WEC-Sim and FAST Simulation Tools

Volume 9: Ocean Renewable Energy, 2015
The Center for Ocean Energy Research (COER) at the University of Maynooth in Ireland organized a hydrodynamic modeling competition in conjunction with OMAE2015. Researchers were challenged to predict the dynamic response of a floating rigid-body device that was experimentally tested in a series of wave-tank tests.
