Response of Point-Absorbing Wave Energy Conversion System in 50-Years Return Period Extreme Focused Waves

Response of Point-Absorbing Wave Energy Conversion System in 50-Years Return Period Extreme Focused Waves

This work evaluates the survivability of a point-absorbing wave energy converter at sea states along and inside the 50-year environmental contour for a selected-site in North Sea, by utilizing CFD simulations. Focused wave groups based on NewWave theory are used to model the extreme waves. The numer...
