A Novel Type of Wave Energy Converter with Five Degrees of Freedom and Preliminary Investigations on Power-Generating Capacity
In order to further improve the power-generating capacity of the wave energy converter (WEC) of oscillating buoy type, this paper puts forward a novel type where the WEC can move and extract power in five degrees of freedom. We make a detailed hydrodynamic analysis of such WECs. Each buoy is modeled...
