AB - This work presents a Wave Power Capture System (WPCS) that can be integrated into an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), allowing it to operate for significantly longer periods of time, potentially indefinitely. The wave-power charging capability is achieved by integrating a retractable reaction structure that can be stowed against the body of the AUV when not in use and two rotary power take-off elements housed inside the AUV. The WPCS technology is applicable to most AUV’s, however this study focuses on implementation within an A-Size AUV. Of particular focus in this work is the development of different reaction plate concepts that result in enhanced wave power capture.
