Numerical benchmarking study of a Cycloidal Wave Energy Converter

Renewable Energy, 2019, vol. 134, issue C, 390-405

Abstract: A lift based Cycloidal Wave Energy Converter (CycWEC) was investigated using numerical simulations to estimate its mean annual power absorption. Based on the power absorption as well as size and weight estimates a number of performance measures were derived in order to compare this novel Wave Energy Converter (WEC) to other more established devices for which results have been published by Babarit et al. [1] using a similar benchmarking approach.
