Oscillatory wave energy converters of the sloped type may allow absorbing power from ocean waves efficiently if a valid optimal design is used. In earlier studies, optimized geometry for CECO device was defined by implementing simplified frequency-domain model. this paper, that evaluated against former one taking into consideration more realistic modelling approach and assessment scenario. The ...

This investigation focuses on the modelling of a floating oscillating water column (FOWC) wave energy converter with numerical code (ANSYS AQWA) based potential flow theory. Free-floating motions predicted by model were validated against experimental data extrapolated from 1:36 scale device in regular and irregular sea states. Upon validation, an assessment device’s when dynamically coupled fou...

In this paper, a concept of floating elastic wave energy converter consisting disk-shaped plate is proposed. The moored to the seabed through series power take-off (PTO) units. A theoretical model based on linear potential flow theory and eigenfunction matching method developed study hydroelastic characteristics evaluate absorption device. PTO system simulated as discrete PTO, moreover, it also...
