Abstract

This paper presents the results of the first experimental study of the Langlee wave energy converter (WEC), a semi-submerged oscillating wave surge converter. Its design extracts the energy from the surge motion of the waves through two pairs of working flaps, called water wings, which are placed symmetrically opposing each other. The results predict the power production performance of the Langlee WEC model for two locations of interest, a generic offshore location in the Danish part of the North Sea and at Horns Rev 1, a Danish offshore wind farm.
