Wave Tank Testing and Model Validation of an Autonomous Wave Energy Converter

Creator:

Bosma, Bret, Lewis, Tim, Brekken, Ted K. A., and von Jouanne, Annette

Abstract:

A key component in bringing ocean wave energy converters from concept to commercialization is the building and testing of scaled prototypes to provide model validation. A one quarter scale prototype of an autonomous two body heaving point absorber was modeled, built, and tested for this work. Wave tank testing results...

Abstract:

Wave energy converter research continues to advance and new developers are continuing to emerge, leading to the need for a general modeling methodology. This work attempts to outline the design methodology necessary to perform frequency domain analysis on a generic wave energy converter. A two-body point absorber representing a generic...
