  • A frequency-domain approach to simulating wave energy converter hydrodynamics

    Creator:
    Simmons, Asher
    Abstract:
    Wave energy converter (WEC) devices are complicated systems containing hydrodynamic, mechanical, and electrical elements. WEC design efforts are primarily focused in the time-domain, using frequency-based energy analyses and numerical problem solving approaches that are staples in hydrodynamic design efforts to form the basic information set used in these time-domain development...

  • Methodology for evaluating mechanical power in small-scale WEC experiments

    Creator:
    Simmons, Asher
    Abstract:
    Wave energy converters (WECs) are a broad class of emerging technology that converts hydrokinetic energy into some other useful form, such as electricity. The last stage in this transformation, the power take-off (PTO) subsystem, is often not experimentally evaluated until half-way through the recommended development process. This delay in evaluation...
