Abstract

This report presents the results of a experimental hydraulic optimization of the wave energy convert (WEC) Seawave Slot-Cone Generator (SSG). SSG is a WEC utilizing wave overtopping in multiple reservoirs. In the present SSG setup three reservoirs has been used. Model tests have been performed using a scale model (length scale 1:25) of the SSG prototype to be installed on the west coast of the island Kvitsøy near Stavanger, Norway.
