The wave energy resource of the US Pacific Northwest
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed and characterized the substantial wave energy resource of the US Pacific Northwest (i.e., off the coasts of Washington, Oregon and N. California) and found that the sea states with the greatest significant wave heights contribute little to the annual energy, but are critically important when considering reliability and survivability of ocean wave energy converters.

Method and system for wave energy conversion
Kenneth Rhinefrank,Alphonse Schacher,Joseph Prudell,Erik Hammagren,Pukha Lenee-Bluhm,Zhe Zhang +5 more
TL;DR: An apparatus and method for converting wave energy using the relative rotational movement between two interconnected float assemblies and the relative rotation movement between each float assembly and a spar which extends from a buoyant nacelle having a central longitudinal axis wherein the floats are nestable behind the buoyant Nacelle is described in this article.

Analyses of Wave Scattering and Absorption Produced by WEC Arrays: Physical/Numerical Experiments and Model Assessment
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase-resolving model WAMIT was validated against wave data from an extensive set of WEC array laboratory experiments conducted by Oregon State University and Columbia Power Technologies, Inc (CPT).
