“…It represents the first non-conventional breakwater in the world which exploits the overtopping phenomenon to produce clean energy. This technology can be applied for new breakwater port expansions, or it can be integrated into existing superstructures, which must be rebuilt due to the maintenance activities or upgraded due to climate change [26]. Given its concept, the system must meet both energy prerequisites and harbor safety requirements.…”

“…The principles of operation entails reflecting incoming ocean waves and breaking them to reduce the impact at the coastline. Traditionally either a rubble mound collection, a top sloped structure or a perforated caisson were used [21]. Recent developments showed that hybrid structures can act as both a protective barrier for coastal erosion and a wave energy converter (WEC).…”

“…Recent developments showed that hybrid structures can act as both a protective barrier for coastal erosion and a wave energy converter (WEC). One of the latest in this ideology is the Overtopping Breakwater for Energy Conversion (OBREC), which is a contemporary rock breakwater that captures the wave energy and converts it to electricity via low head turbines [21]. One of the latest versions is a full size prototype currently located in the harbour of Naples, Italy, where tests are being conducted by the Luigi Vanvitelli University of Campania.…”

“…Although, in several articles, the WAB also is known as oscillating bodies (OS). A detail description of OWC, WAB and overtopping devices can be obtained in [15][16][17][18], respectively.…”
