Experimental Study of a Fixed OWC-Type Wave Energy Converter with a Heave Plate and V-Shaped Channels for Intermediate-Water-Depth Applications

The study of oscillating water column (OWC)-type wave energy converters (WEC) has primarily focused on applications in the nearshore environment with an end use in residential power grids. This study examines the power performance of a new OWC geometry relative to blue economy energy objectives that...
