Wave energy utilization: A review of the technologies
TL;DR: In this article, the development of wave energy utilization since the 1970s is discussed, with a focus on the characterization of the wave energy resource; theoretical background, with especial relevance to hydrodynamics of wave absorption and control; how a large range of devices kept being proposed and studied, and how such devices can be organized into classes; the conception, design, model-testing, construction and deployment into real sea of prototypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of wave-energy extraction
TL;DR: In this paper, wave spectrum parameters related to transport, distribution and variability of wave energy in the sea are explained. But, the authors do not consider the effect of wave interference on the performance of wave-energy converters.

Journal ArticleDOI
Ocean waves and oscillating systems : linear interactions including wave-energy extraction
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the interaction between oscillations and waves, and describe the absorption of wave energy by oscillating bodies by wave-energy absorption by oscillated bodies, as well as wave interactions with oscillating water columns.

Quantifying the global wave power resource
Kester Gunn,Clym Stock-Williams +1 more
TL;DR: Justifying continued development and large-scale deployment of Wave Energy Converters requires quantification of the potential resource, and existing estimates do not provide insight into potential future markets, i.e. the location of the resource.

Analysis of a Wave Energy Conversion Buoy
TL;DR: A theoretical analysis of the power generated by a pneumatic type wave-energy conversion buoy is presented in this article, where it is shown that the peak-power value occurs at the resonant period of the buoy-water column system and not at the natural heaving period, as was previosuly assumed.

Utilization of a hinged-barge wave energy conversion system
TL;DR: In this article, a linear analysis of the critically-damped planar motions of a three-hinged-barge wave energy conversion system is presented based on the assumption that the system operates as designed.
