A Numerical Investigation of the Energy Efficiency Enhancement of Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter Systems

A Numerical Investigation of the Energy Efficiency Enhancement of Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter Systems

This work focuses on the geometry effects over the performance of oscillating water column (OWC)-type wave energy converter (WEC) systems and searches for the OWC geometries that enhance the energy efficiencies under the same wave conditions. To analyze the hydrodynamic performances of the WEC syste...
