The Mutriku Wave Power Plant (WPP) is a wave energy conversion plant based on the oscillating water column technology (OWC). The energy production and the health state of the plant are directly dependent on the sea-state ...

Wave trends have been shown to be relevant to energy generation in various areas of the world. Accordingly, this article describes the impact of wave trends on the design of oscillating water column wave energy converters. ...

Wave-to-wire models are valuable tools for a variety of applications in the development of successful wave energy converters. However, computational requirements of these wave-to-wire models are often prohibitive for certain ...

The implementation of energy maximising control systems (EMCSs) in wave energy converter (WEC) devices is an important step towards commercially viable operation of WECs. During the design stage of such EMCSs, linear ...

An application-agnostic procedure is outlined for checking the validity of momentum-deficit-based drag measurements performed under different turbulent conditions in a wind tunnel. The approach defines a two-step methodology: ...

Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) systems are designed to maximise energy generation and ensure survivability. The traditional design process is based on pure environmental conditions, tends to be too conservative and limits ...

En el presente documento técnico, se realiza un análisis desde un punto de vista ingenieril de los molinos de viento patentados por Jerónimo de Ayanz y Beaumont el siglo XVII. El análisis que se presenta podría denominarse ...

The energy transition towards resilient and sustainable power plants requires moving from periodic health assessment to condition-based lifetime planning, which in turn, creates new challenges and opportunities for health ...
