This site-wide search returns results for all documents and events in Tethys Engineering, prioritizing the best matches. Partial word matches are returned (e.g. "engineer" finds "engineering"), but every entered term must be found. If you don't find any results, try reducing the number of words entered or removing special characters. Filters to the right can help narrow your search. Tethys Engineering features an integrated search with other marine renewable energy databases in PRIMRE - click the buttons below "Showing Results for" to search other integrated databases.

The present paper describes experimental studies in an irregular wave tank concerning a 1/35 scale model of a bottomstanding wave power plant of the oscillating-water-column (OWC) type, to be built spanning a small natural harbour in the island of Pico (Azores). The purposes of the experiments were to determine the power plant''s most suitable location, geometry and dimensions, as well as to…

WavePiston
The project covers a demonstration of the Wavepiston wave energy concept. Numerical tools for estimation of structural design loads and absorbed power for the concept were developed, together with a tool to model the motion of the complete string structure. A 1:2 scale installation was designed, built and installed in the North Sea. With several iterations made on the detailed design during…

Even though the outstanding energy resource provided by ocean surface waves has long been recognized, the extraction of wave power is still in its infancy. Meanwhile, the increased interest in sustainable energy alternatives could lead to large-scale deployments of wave energy convertors (WECs) worldwide in the near future. In this context, the interaction of WECs with the marine environment…

Existing wave energy technology has been designed for ocean waves, which, however, shorten the lifespan of wave energy converters and mooring systems. Furthermore, commissioning and maintenance in the harsh ocean conditions are challenging and expensive. For wave energy technology to realise its full potential and become commercially attractive, smaller, more economical, and resilient…
