SURVIVABILITY SIMULATION OF A WAVE ENERGY CONVERTER IN A NUMERICAL WAVE TANK

摘要：

1 Introduction Wave energy from ocean waves is captured by wave energy converters(WECs) and converted into electrical power.WECs of the floating point absorber(FPA) type are selected which are heaving under wave loading.In this study,the numerical simulations of a WEC under operational wave conditions 1 are extended to a survivability simulation of a WEC under extreme design load conditions.Therefore,the WEC is subjected to breaking waves in a numerical wave tank(NWT).
