“…Wave power technology is interesting because its evolution has involved a very large number of inventions and competing design concepts. There are over a thousand different proposals for utilising wave energy in the patent literature [33]. Figure 8 shows some of the basic types of wave energy convertor.…”

“…Wave energy has the potential to be a particularly valuable contributor to a low-carbon energy mix since, besides being very abundant [2][3][4], it has a different geographic distribution than wind and solar, greater predictability and less intermittency. Accordingly, even in the awareness that only a small fraction of this huge resource can be exploited (see also [5]), more than 1000 Wave Energy Converters (WECs) have been patented worldwide.…”

Abstract:The reliability of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in reproducing qualitative and quantitative features of loadings exerted by waves on Seawave Slot-cone Generators (SSG) has been investigated via 17 numerical experiments, conducted with the suite Flow 3D. The geometry of the Wave Energy Converter (WEC), as well as the characteristics of the foreshore in front of it, were identical to those used by the authors in a laboratory study, carried out on a small scale model of a pilot plant to be located along the West Norwegian coasts; the similitude of the layouts allowed an in depth comparison between the results. A good agreement has been generally found between physical and numerical experiments, apart from some aspects of the wave-structure interaction that, however, can be considered secondary for engineering purposes.

“…A real ocean wave consists of the waves with different frequencies and directions. The mean stored energy in the unit area of the sea surface is as follows [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]:…”
