Modeling and predicting power from a WEC array

open access: yesProposed for presentation at the OCEANS2021 in ,, 2021
This study presents a numerical model of a WEC array. The model will be used in subsequent work to study the ability of data assimilation to support power prediction from WEC arrays and WEC array design.

Preliminary investigation on the use of tank wall reflections to model WEC array effects

Ocean Engineering, 2018
Abstract 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

open access: yesJournal of Ocean Engineering and Marine Energy, 2019
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 ...

Impact of Wave Forecasting Accuracy on Design and Power Predictions of a WEC Array

open access: yes2023 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE), 2023
Spectral wave predictions at a potential Wave Energy Converter (WEC) lease area are often used to determine and design the placement of multiple WECs in arrays, and are critical for the operation of the array.

Improving the Wave Energy Production Using Multi-Size WEC Arrays With Passive Control

Volume 7: Ocean Renewable Energy
Abstract One of the key aspects to consider before large scale deployments of wave energy converters (WEC), is to optimize the devices’ characteristics to improve wave power absorption. Typically, devices with passive control are designed to have the highest efficiency in wave power absorption/production in the range of the most frequent

Sensitivity Analysis of WEC Array Layout Parameters Effect on the Power Performance

open access: yes, 2015
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.

Energy conversion and beach protection: Numerical assessment of a dual-purpose WEC farm

open access: yesRenewable Energy, 2023
The installation of wave energy converter (WEC) arrays near the coast can have significant impacts on sediment dynamics and coastal morphodynamics. However, methodologies for quantifying these impacts and strategies to minimize them are still in need of ...
