A Numerical Investigation of the Hydrodynamic Performance of a Pitch-Type Wave Energy Converter Using Weakly and Fully Nonlinear Models
In this study, the performance of a wave energy converter (WEC) rotor under regular and irregular wave conditions was investigated using 3D nonlinear numerical models. Factors such as the power take-off (PTO) load torque, wave periods, spacing of multiple WEC rotors, and wave steepness were analyzed...
