Hydrodynamic Modeling of Submerged Wave Energy Converters: Power Take-Off Mooring Configuration Effect on Power Performance

Creator:

Meek, Moira H.

Abstract:

Wave energy converters (WECs) show promising potential to significantly contribute to global renewable energy goals. Numerous WEC designs have been proposed and investigated, but wave energy conversion technology has yet to reach convergence in the same way wind or solar has. Of the designs currently in existence, surface-piercing WECs are...

Environmental Effects of Tidal Energy Development

Creator:

Polagye, Brian, Van Cleve, Brie, Copping, Andrea, and Kirkendall, Keith

Abstract:

This report summarizes the outcomes of a March 22-25, 2010, workshop in Seattle, Washington, on the environmental effects of tidal energy development. The workshop focused on building capabilities to evaluate the environmental effects of tidal energy from turbines placed in the water column throughout the United States. However, it did...
