How the Hydrodynamic Response of PA-WECs’ Array Under Maximizing the Power Generation by its Arrangement and Control Force Change?

Motohiko Murai, Junki Funada, Qiao Li
Proc. ASME. OMAE2020, Volume 5: Ocean Space Utilization, V005T05A011, August 3–7, 2020
Paper No: OMAE2020-18189
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1115/OMAE2020-18189
... Abstract Marine renewable energy is expected as an alternative energy source to fossil fuel. Wave energy is one kind of the marine renewable energy. The subject of this paper is an array of Point Absorber Wave Energy Converters (PA-WECs) and their motion in maximizing the power generation...

Characteristics of OWC Type WEC Dampers Installed on a Very Large Floating Structure

Tomoki Ikoma, Shoichiro Furuya, Yasuhiro Aida, Koichi Masuda, Hiroaki Eto
Proc. ASME. OMAE2020, Volume 5: Ocean Space Utilization, V005T05A027, August 3–7, 2020
Paper No: OMAE2020-19002
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1115/OMAE2020-19002
... Abstract Oscillating water column (OWC) type wave energy converters (WECs) have been researched and developed. OWC WECs are relatively friendly to maintain them in operation because all of mechanical units are set above a sea water surface. In addition, a feature of an OWC device is similar...

Study on the Generated Power Changes by the Relation Between an Arrangement of an Array of Point Absorber Type WECs and an Incident Wave Angle

Motohiko Murai, Qiao Li, Junki Funada
Proc. ASME. OMAE2019, Volume 9: Rodney Eatock Taylor Honoring Symposium on Marine and Offshore Hydrodynamics; Takeshi Kinoshita Honoring Symposium on Offshore Technology, V009T13A018, June 9–14, 2019
Paper No: OMAE2019-95400
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1115/OMAE2019-95400
... Absorber Wave Energy Converters (PA-WECs). In the array, complex hydrodynamic interactions among the array will occur. The interaction influences the wave power density among the array both increase and decrease. When we consider the maximization of generated electric power of the array, the suitable...
