Wave Resource Assessments: Spacio-Temporal Effect of Wave Energy Converter Scale and Blue Economy Opportunities

Creator:

Dunkle, Gabrielle R.

Abstract:

Wave energy has the potential to power large and small factions of economies around the world alike. Current methods for determining the amount of wave energy resource available to wave energy converter (WEC) devices entail capturing the look of the sea state at large by presenting characteristic wave heights, periods,...

Performance Analysis of a Utility-Scale Wave Energy Converter

Creator:

May-Varas, Nicholas A.

Abstract:

A six degree of freedom (6DOF) point-absorber wave energy converter (WEC) called LUPA is being developed at Oregon State University. This research focused on analyzing a full- scale LUPA, called LUPA20, to answer the following questions: 1) How does a full-scale WEC perform due to various factors; 2) What are...
