Hydrodynamic Interactions and Enhanced Energy Harnessing amongst Many WEC Units in Large-Size Wave Parks

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Interactions between wave energy converters (WECs) can significantly affect the overall energy-harnessing performance of a wave park. Although large-size wave parks with many WEC units are commonly considered in practical applications, it is challenging ...

Wave Damping Capabilities of Various WEC Architectures and Arrays

Wave energy converter (WEC) devices are proposed to provide wave sheltering for coastlines, offshore wind turbines, and offshore aquaculture. This study evaluates those claims by comparing the transmission and reflection coefficients of different WEC architectures to a standard floating breakwater design. The transmission coefficient (KT) describes the

Interrelationship between variables for wave direction-dependent WEC/site-configuration pairs using the CapEx method

, 2022
Renewable energies are mostly compared using the Levelised Cost of Energy (LCoE). Two major components of LCoE are of interest in this study, the others being still experimental: the Annual Energy Production (AEP) and the Capital Expenditure (CapEx ...

Optimization of Wave Energy Converter Arrays by an Improved Differential Evolution Algorithm

Energies, 2018
Since different incident waves will cause the same array to perform differently with respect to the wave energy converter (WEC), the parameters of the incident wave, including the incident angle and the incident wave number, are taken into account for ...

A Fast Tool for Assessing the Power Performance of Large WEC arrays [PDF]

, 2015
In the present work, a tool for computing wave energy converter array hydrodynamic forces and power performance is developed. The tool leads to a significant reduction on computation time compared with standard boundary element method based codes while keeping similar levels of accuracy. This makes it suitable for array layout optimization, where large
