Toward the blue energy dream by triboelectric nanogenerator networks
TL;DR: In this article, water wave energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources, while little has been exploited due to various limitations of current technologies mainly relying on electromagnetic generator (EMG), especially its operation in irregular environment and low frequency (

Numerical benchmarking study of a selection of wave energy converters
Aurélien Babarit,Jørgen Hals,Made Jaya Muliawan,Adi Kurniawan,Torgeir Moan,Jørgen R Krokstad +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mean annual power absorption of a selection of eight Wave Energy Converters (WECs) with different working principles is derived based on numerical modeling. But, despite very different working principle and dimensions, power performance of the selected devices vary much less than the average power absorption.

Harvesting water wave energy by asymmetric screening of electrostatic charges on a nanostructured hydrophobic thin-film surface
Guang Zhu,Yuanjie Su,Peng Bai,Jun Chen,Qingshen Jing,Weiqing Yang,Zhong Lin Wang,Zhong Lin Wang +7 more
TL;DR: The planar-structured generator features an all-in-one design without separate and movable components for capturing and transmitting mechanical energy, making it a portable, flexible, and convenient power solution that can be applied on the ocean/river surface, at coastal/offshore areas, and even in rainy places.

Optimum operation of improved wave-power converter
Kjell Budal,Johannes Falnes +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an improved version of the previously proposed resonance-tuned absorber of ocean-wave power is presented, which uses a machine to control its movement in an optimum way relative to the time evolvement of the incident wave.
