  • Modeling, simulation, and analysis of two hydraulic power take-off systems for wave energy conversion

    Creator:
    Casey, Sean (Sean Michael)
    Abstract:
    Hydraulic power take-off (PTO) systems have been implemented in several wave energy converter (WEC) designs in recent years. Two popular hydraulic PTO configurations coupled to a point absorber hydrodynamic model are simulated in waves representative of an energetic sea state likely to be found in deep waters off the coast...

  • Wave field patterns generated by wave energy converters

    Creator:
    McNatt, J. Cameron
    Abstract:
    The eventual deployment of wave energy converters (WECs) on a commercial scale will necessitate the grouping of devices into arrays or "wave farms," in order to minimize overhead costs of mooring, maintenance, installation, and electrical cabling for shoreward power delivery. Closely spaced WECs will interact hydrodynamically through diffracted and radiated...
