Abstrakt

In this paper, the results of a study on the effects of geometry control on the performance of overtopping wave energy converters with a simple geometry built in coastal structures (simple OWECs) are presented. Empirical formulae, derived based on experimental tests on simple OWECs with varying geometry, are applied to a number of test cases. It appears that adapting the slope angle and crest freeboard of a simple OWEC to the sea states at a specific nearshore location, can result in significant increases in obtained hydraulic power.
