Impact of Separation Distance on the Performance and Annual Energy Production of a Dual-Flap Oscillating Surge Wave Energy Converter
arXiv:2602.10301v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Among the different concepts for wave energy conversion, oscillating surge wave energy converters have been shown to have a high capture width ratio. The primary wave capture structure consists of a flap hinged at the seabed or to a floating platform. Different flap configurations, including single and dual-flap, have been investigated. The separation distance between the oscillating surge wave energy converters can have an impact on their response when deployed in arrays. We […]
