The Economic Feasibility of Floating Offshore Wave Energy Farms in the North of Spain
Energies, 2020 A technique to analyse the economic viability of offshore farms composed of wave energy converters is proposed. Firstly, the inputs, whose value will be considered afterwards in the economic step, was calculated using geographic information software ...

The MBARI-WEC: a power source for ocean sensing
Journal of Ocean Engineering and Marine Energy, 2021 Interest in wave energy converters to provide autonomous power to various ocean-bound systems, such as autonomous underwater vehicles, sensor systems, and even aquaculture farms, has grown in recent years. The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute has

Effects of narrow gap wave resonance on a dual-floater WEC-breakwater hybrid system
, 2021 The effects of gap wave resonance on the performance of a dual-floater hybrid system consisting of an oscillating-buoy type wave energy converter (WEC) and a floating breakwater are important for the design of such a hybrid system.

, 2016 In wave energy, perhaps more so than any other industry, the economics of product development and product ownership are not separate from the product engineering and design. This is the case because, despite high potential of untapped energy resource and the constant attention of academic research and innovative companies and inventors, as yet no one ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019 The influence of the central platform on hydrodynamic performance of a wave energy converter (WEC) has remained elusive. To approach this dearth of relevant theoretical research, this paper presents a semi-submerged multi-buoy WEC and the results of the ...
