TLDR
In this paper, a twin unidirectional turbine topology has been proposed as a power module for an OWC-based wave energy plant, which has no valves or moving parts.Abstract:
A twin unidirectional turbine topology has been proposed as a power module for an OWC based wave energy plant. It has no valves or moving parts and demonstrates high efficiency over a broad range of flow coefficients. Scaling laws show that a turbine of 2.6 m diameter is sufficient to achieve a power rating of 2 MW, Thirty one such modules can be used to produce an annual output of 50 GWh.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, a new topology that uses twin unidirectional turbines (which feature a high efficiency spanning a broad range) is proposed, and it is shown that the power output from such a module considerably exceeds existing optimal configurations including those based on a fixed guide vane impulse turbine or a Well's turbine.
