Abstract

WEC-Sim (Wave Energy Converter SIMulator) is an open-source software for modeling the motions, loads and power generation of wave energy converters. WEC-Sim is developed within the MATLAB/Simulink environment, which allows for incorporation of different MathWorks packages that are relevant to the offshore renewable energy research community. WEC-Sim performs simulations in the time domain using hydrodynamic coefficients calculated by boundary element method (BEM) frequency-domain potential flow solvers such as WAMIT, NEMOH, Capytaine, or Ansys Aqwa. WEC-Sim development is ongoing, including various features, applications, and example cases used to demonstrate potential use-cases to meet the needs of the growing marine energy industry. In this paper we discuss the new advancement in WEC-Sim v6.0 and WEC-Sim Applications v6.0.
