  • On the design, modeling, and testing of ocean wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Bosma, Bret
    Abstract:
    Ocean wave energy converter technology continues to advance and new developers continue to emerge, leading to the need for a general design, modeling, and testing methodology. This work presents a development of the process of taking a wave energy converter from a concept to the prototype stage. A two body...
