Abstract
  • This paper was presented at the 9th European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference held in Southampton, UK September 4-11, 2011.
  • The ocean deployment of multiple Wave Energy Converters (WECs) in large-scale arrays appears imminent. However, there is a significant gap in our present knowledge of the near-field scattering and potential far-field environmental effects due to WEC-arrays. This gap comes from the lack of observational data. To help fill this data gap, we have performed laboratory experiments using five, moored, point-absorber WECs. These WECs are 1:33 scale models of the commercially-designed “Manta” from Columbia Power Technologies.
