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,...

Design Optimization of a Structurally Flexible Wave Energy Converter with a Direct Search Algorithm

Creator:

Berrier, Austin S.

Abstract:

Several wave energy converter designs have been recently proposed that are made of flexible materials. Flexible devices are able to generate electricity by being stretched, and are intended to simplify deployment and maintenance concerns over existing wave energy devices. Due to the relative infancy of flexible wave energy converters, however,...

Wave Energy From Idea, to Concept, to Converter: Structuring Methods for Design and Evaluation of Wave Energy Devices

Creator:

Trueworthy, Ali May

Abstract:

The amount of energy we use and the ways that we get that energy sit on the edge of dramatic change as the carbon budget which can keep the planet under 1.5C of global average temperature increase gets smaller (Allen, 2018). In response, we continue to research and develop renewable...
