Stochastic modelling of OWC wave power plant performance
TL;DR: In this paper, a stochastic method has been developed to evaluate the average performance of an oscillating water column wave energy device equipped with an assumedly linear Wells turbine, represented by a set of sea states, characterized by their power spectra, the free-surface elevation being a Gaussian random variable in each sea state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review on electrical control strategies for wave energy converting systems
TL;DR: In this paper, different types of wave energy converters are classified by their mechanical structure and how they absorb energy from ocean waves, and a review of strategies for electrical control of wave EH converters as well as energy storage techniques are presented.
Ocean Wave Energy Conversion
Annette Muetze,Jennifer Vining +1 more
TL;DR: Vining et al. as mentioned in this paper provided an overview of the energy found in ocean waves and how each type of wave energy converter utilizes the available ocean wave energy for commercial prospects, environmental concerns, and current state-of-the-art.

Performance of a High-Solidity Wells Turbine for an OWC Wave Power Plant
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation of the aerodynamic performance of a high-solidity Wells turbine for a wave power plant is presented, and the results show that the presence of guide vanes can provide a remarkable increase in turbine efficiency.
Multidisciplinary design for performance: Ocean wave energy conversion
TL;DR: In this paper, a multidisciplinary approach for estimating the air turbine's output and longer-term productivity was presented for a site off the Australian East Coast. But, this approach is limited in the sense that it does not fully accommodate different turbine types.

An Experiment-Based Time-Domain Mathematical Model of OWC Power Plants
António Sarmento,A. Brito-Melo +1 more
TL;DR: A linear time-domain model based on model experiments is developed and experimentally validated in this article, where the radiation flow is expressed as a convolution integral involving the air-pressure time-derivative and the radiation impulse response function.
