A Survey of WEC Reliability, Survival and Design Practices

A Survey of WEC Reliability, Survival and Design Practices

A wave energy converter must be designed to survive and function efficiently, often in highly energetic ocean environments. This represents a challenging engineering problem, comprising systematic failure mode analysis, environmental characterization, modeling, experimental testing, fatigue and extr...
