Modelling of an Array of Floating Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converters with Full Hydrodynamic Coupling and Nonlinear Power Take Off Dynamics

Creator:

Gaebele, Daniel T.

Abstract:

Wave energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources. Thus, research in this field has increased substantially over the last decade. However, significant costs associated with development and maintenance have so far impeded the implementation of commercially viable projects. Furthermore, the hydrodynamic interactions between water and prototypes meant...
