Analysing the Near-Field Effects and the Power Production of Near-Shore WEC Array Using a New Wave-to-Wire Model [PDF]

Water (Switzerland), 2019
In this study, a series of modules is integrated into a wave-to-wire (W2W) model that links a Boundary Element Method (BEM) solver to a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) motion solver which are in turn coupled to a wave propagation model.

Efficient WEC Array Buoy Placement optimization with Multi-Resonance Control of the Electrical Power Take-off for Improved Performance

, 2022
An array of Wave Energy Converters (WEC) is required to supply a significant power level to the grid. However, the control and optimization of such an array is still an open research question.

Study on power generation of single Point Absorber Wave Energy Converters (PA-WECs) and arrays of PA-WECs

Renewable Energy, 2021
Abstract The effects of humanity's carbon footprint deserve attention and remediation. The ocean can provide an abundant source of renewable energy instead of fossil fuels in the form of wave energy. However, wave energy collection needs to be comparable in terms of cost and efficiency to be considered a viable alternative. Point Absorber Wave Energy

Heterogeneous WEC array optimization using the Hidden Genes Genetic Algorithm

Proceedings of the European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference, 2023
Wave Energy Converters (WEC) are deployed in arrays to improve the overall quality of the delivered power to the grid and reduce the cost of power production by minimizing the cost of design, deployments, mooring, maintenance, and other associated costs. WEC arrays often contain devices of identical dimensions and modes of operation.

High-fidelity numerical modelling of a two-WEC array with accurate implementation of the PTO system and control strategy using DualSPHysics

Energy
In order for Wave Energy Converters (WECs) to become economically viable they will have to be installed closely together in so-called WEC arrays. When WECs are placed closely together they influence each other's motion, which is challenging to implement ...

Using WEC arrays to enhance the stability and power output of floating wind turbines

Proceedings of the European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference
Co-locating renewable energy devices offshore enhances power extraction while minimising environmental impact. Integrating floating wind turbines (FWTs) with wave energy converters (WECs) offers such a potential, with WEC arrays absorbing wave energy and improving power output and structural integrity.

A performance assessment methodology for floating pitching WEC arrays

2017
The advantage of producing energy via array of WECs and not via individual device has long been demonstrated [1]. The hydrodynamic analysis of wave energy converter arrays is relevant in productivity assessment. The goal of this work is to present an evaluation method of WECs’ dynamic response in array configuration and the analysis of the disturbed ...

Computationally efficient optimisation algorithms for WECs arrays

2017
In this paper two derivative-free global optimization algorithms are applied for the maximisation of the energy absorbed by wave energy converter (WEC) arrays. Wave energy is a large and mostly untapped source of energy that could have a key role in the future energy mix.
