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,...

Masters Thesis
Advanced Computational Modeling and Design of Wave Energy and Floating Offshore Wind Energy Technologies

Creator:

Mankle, Hannah L.

Abstract:

Given the immense energy potential of oshore wind and ocean waves, offshore renewable energy can significantly contribute to the renewable energy landscape. Fixed floating wind is already making strides internationally with increased electricity capacity, while floating offshore wind turbines and marine hydrokinetic (MHK) technology have significant potential that can...

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...
