What Management Control Practices Do Electric Utilities Rely on When It Comes to Fostering the Social Pillar of Sustainability? A Comparative Analysis of the European Union and the United States

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electric utilities are expected to implement measures to improve their performance in all three dimensions of sustainable development—environmental, social, and economic. While several studies have investigated the environmental dimension, measures related to the social pillar have hardly been researched to date.

Effects of WEC Geometry on the Performance of a WEC Array-VLFS Integrated System

Polish Maritime Research
Abstract This study focuses on analysing the effects of wave energy converter (WEC) geometry on the performance of an integrated system comprising a WEC array and a very large floating structure (VLFS). A numerical model of the integrated system is established based on multi-body potential theory, the discrete-module-beam (DMB) method,

Floating Platform Geometry as a Frequency‐Selective Mechanism for Triboelectric Wave Energy Harvesting

SmartSys, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Ocean wave energy has enormous potential for sustainable power generation but conventional technologies often face challenges in efficiency, durability, and adaptability to specific sites. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are able to convert irregular and low frequency water motion into electrical energy, but their performance depends on ...
