Wave Energy Converter Array Optimization : Algorithm Development and Investigation of Layout Design Influences

Creator:

Sharp, Christopher J.

Abstract:

Realizing the vast amount of energy available in ocean waves, an industry has emerged that is progressing towards the deployment of grid–connected wave energy converters. Likely to be deployed in arrays, a challenge to the wave energy industry is maximizing the energy production of such arrays. We have been developing...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Christopher J. Sharp for the degree of
A Conceptual Design Tool for High-performance Wave Energy Converters for Blue Economy Applications

Creator:

Roach, Aeron L.

Abstract:

Much like wind energy in its early years, marine energy has vast potential, and wave energy converter (WEC) concepts are constantly in development. Consequently, wave energy faces many challenges for expansion and has a wide-ranging design space of WEC concepts. The large design space demands new methods for understanding the...
