Discrete Displacement Hydraulic Power Take-Off System for the Wavestar Wave Energy Converter
Hansen, Rico H.; Kramer, Morten M.; Vidal, Enrique - In: Energies 6 (2013) 8, pp. 4001-4044
The Wavestar Wave Energy Converter (WEC) is a multiple absorber concept, consisting of 20 hemisphere shaped floats attached to a single platform. The heart of the Wavestar WEC is the Power Take-Off (PTO) system, converting the wave induced motion of the floats into a steady power output to the...
