Hydrodynamic Performance of a Dual-Pontoon WEC-Breakwater System: An Analysis of Wave Energy Content and Converter Efficiency
A dual-pontoon WEC-breakwater system is proposed to optimise space utilisation and reduce construction costs by integrating wave energy converters (WECs) with breakwaters. Previous parametric studies on the dimensions and layout of WECs have primarily used potential flow theories, often neglecting t...
