A Simple Model to Assess the Performance of an Overtopping Wave Energy Converter Embedded in a Port Breakwater

A Simple Model to Assess the Performance of an Overtopping Wave Energy Converter Embedded in a Port Breakwater

A numerical model for the optimization of the performance of an innovative overtopping breakwater for wave energy conversion is proposed. The model is based on the stochastic description of the overtopping phenomenon based on the results of extensive laboratory tests, and it is able to simulate the...
