This paper describes the optimisation of arrays wave energy converters (WECs) point absorber type. The WECs are spherical in shape and operate heave only. Previous work is extended to an array layouts without a prescribed geometry. objective function chosen as mean interaction factor over range incident angles. formulation forces perform optimally specified angle, direct concern for wavelength ...

Combining multiple-types of Wave Energy Converters (WECs) and integrating them into in-development or pre-existing marine platforms can reduce the total Levelised Cost (LCoE) by sharing infrastructures maintenance costs. The current study proposes an innovative multi-purpose solution deploying Oscillating Buoy (OB) device inside chamber Water Column (OWC) WEC integrated a π-type floating breakw...
