Bemrosetta: An open-source hydrodynamic coefficients converter and viewer integrated with Nemoh and Foamm
Penalba, Markel (EWTEC, 2021)Boundary Element Method (BEM) solvers are extensively used to obtain the hydrodynamic coefficients required to model hydrodynamic forces in oating marine structures. BEM solvers require the discretization of the submerged ... -
Impact of long-term resource variations on wave energy Farms: The Icelandic case
Penalba, Markel (Elsevier, 2020)Four decades (between 1979 and 2018) of the wave energy resource around Iceland are analysed in the present paper via the ERA5 reanalysis, the newest reanalysis of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. ... -
A post-processing technique for removing ‘irregular frequencies’ and other issues in the results from BEM solvers
Penalba, Markel (European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference, 2022)Within the wave energy community, hydrodynamic coefficients obtained from boundary element methods (BEMs) are commonly used to predict the behaviour of wave energy converters (WECs) in response to incident waves. A number ... -
Probabilistic forecasting informed failure prognostics framework for improved RUL prediction under uncertainty: A transformer case study
Aizpurua Unanue, Jose Ignacio; Penalba, Markel; Barrenetxea, Manex; Muxika Olasagasti, Eñaut (Elsevier Ltd., 2022)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 ... -
Reactive control of wave energy devices – the modelling paradox
Penalba, Markel (Elsevier Ltd., 2021)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 ... -
Systematic complexity reduction of wave-to-wire models for wave energy system design
Penalba, Markel (Elsevier Ltd., 2020)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 ...
