The effects of ocean variability and breaking waves on wave energy converter reliability and survivability

Creator:

Brown, Adam

Abstract:

The reliability and survivability of a wave energy converter (WEC) is highly dependent on the variability and non-linearity of the ocean itself. Ocean variability occurs on many time scales. Climate variability occurs decade-to-decade, and year-to-year in the number and intensity of winter storms. Seasonal variation of wave height and period...
