• Fundamental formulae for wave-energy conversion 

      Falnes, Johannes; Kurniawan, Adi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      The time-average wave power that is absorbed, from an incident wave, by means of a wave energy conversion (WEC) unit, or by an array of WEC units--i.e. oscillating immersed bodies and/or OWCs--may be mathematically expressed ...
    • An Innovative Hardware-In-the-Loop Rig For Linear Power-Take-Off Testing 

      Alessandri, Giacomo; Gallorini, Federico; Castellini, Luca; Montoya, Dan El; Alves, Erick Fernando; Tedeschi, Elisabetta (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      This paper describes the activities related to the design, manufacturing and commissioning of an innovative Hardware-In-the-Loop test rig for linear Power Take-Off testing within the Horizon 2020 IMAGINE project. The rig ...
    • Performance Comparison of Offline and Real-Time Models of a Power Take-Off for Qualification Activities of Wave Energy Converters 

      Castellini, Luca; Gallorini, Federico; Alessandri, Giacomo; Alves, Erick Fernando; Montoya Andrade, Dan El Andres; Tedeschi, Elisabetta (Chapter, 2021)
      A Power Take-Off (PTO) is responsible to convert wave to electrical power and is one of the core sub-systems of any Wave Energy Converter (WEC). As result, assessing the PTO performance is one of the key aspects of the WEC ...
