Review on Power Performance and Efficiency of Wave Energy Converters
Tunde Aderinto,Hua Li +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the efficiencies and power performance of different wave energy converters and found that the oscillating body systems have the highest ratio in terms of the efficiency per characteristic width, and overtopping devices have the lowest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wells turbine for wave energy conversion: a review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an updated and a comprehensive account of the state of the art research on Wells turbine and draw a roadmap for the contemporary challenges which may hinder future reliance on such systems in the renewable energy sector.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrodynamic performance of a pile-supported OWC breakwater: An analytical study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the hydrodynamics of a pile-supported OWC breakwater by means of an analytical model based on linear wave theory and matched eigenfunction expansion method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocean wave energy converters: Technical principle, device realization, and performance evaluation
TL;DR: Qualitative and quantitative methods are adopted to find the optimal WEC technical scheme based on the review and analysis of technology principles of wave energy power generation and realization of devices, which can be used for the development of WEC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of mooring design for floating wave energy converters
TL;DR: Recommendations are made for the suitable mooring design according to the WEC's dimensions and working principles and it is shown that the elastic synthetic rope has great potential in the application of WEC moored system, and the hybrid moorer could be a good solution for WEC station keeping problem.
