Preliminary investigation on the use of tank wall reflections to model WEC array effects
Ocean Engineering, 2018Abstract The commercialisation of wave energy converters (WECs) is certain to require the deployment of multiple units in arrays. The collocation of WEC units into an array will lead to hydrodynamic interactions collectively referred to as array effects.

A risk-based approach to layout implementation of WEC array by addressing accidental constraints
Wave energy converters (WEC) are reaching a pinnacle in their prototype phase. World leaders in the energy sector are looking for renewable energy sources to replace the expiry of fossil-fuel energy capacity. For WECs to become a viable solution to the fossil-fuel challenges, there is a need to have a deeper understanding of the associated costs and ...

Sensitivity Analysis of WEC Array Layout Parameters Effect on the Power Performance
This study assesses the effect that the array layout choice has on the power performance. To this end, a sensitivity analysis is carried out with six array layout parameters, as the simulation inputs, the array power performance (q-factor), as the simulation output, and a simulation model specially built to deal with WEC arrays.
