A Wave Energy Converter Design Load Case Study

A Wave Energy Converter Design Load Case Study

This article presents an example by which design loads for a wave energy converter (WEC) might be estimated through the various stages of the WEC design process. Unlike previous studies, this study considers structural loads, for which, an accurate assessment is crucial to the optimization and survi...
