Experimental and numerical study of a two-body heaving wave energy converter with different power take-off models
Abstract
Wave energy is one of the most difficult energies to be captured among marine renewables. With the technical progress, wave energy converters (WECs) are being tested in relatively deeper waters, which makes floating concepts almost the only choice. In this paper, a two-body heaving WEC where the wave energy is absorbed through the relative motion between the outer annular and the inner cylindrical buoys is studied. Both experimental and …
