Improving the Amount of Captured Energy of a Point-Absorber WEC on the Mexican Coast

Improving the Amount of Captured Energy of a Point-Absorber WEC on the Mexican Coast

Although there are constant improvements in wave energy converter (WEC) technology, it is crucial to investigate site-specific sea conditions for optimal power absorption and efficiency. This study compares the efficiency of a floating buoy-type WEC device, with three differently shaped floats: a se...
