2 May 2016 | Abstract: | We discuss the hydrodynamics of a wave energy converter consisting of two
vertically floating, coaxial cylinders connected by dampers and allowed to
heave, sway and roll. This design, viable in deep water and able to extract
energy independent of the incident wave direction, is examined for
monochromatic waves as well as broad-banded seas described by a Pierson
Moskowitz spectrum. Several possible device sizes are considered, and their
performance is investigated for a design spectrum, as well as for more severe
sea states, with a view towards survivability of the converters. In terms of
device motions and captured power, a quantitative assessment of converter
design as it relates to survival and operation is provided. Most results are
given in dimensionless form to allow for a wide range of applications. | Source: | arXiv, 1605.0428 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
