Integrating multi-type Wave Energy Converters (WECs) enables wave energy to be extracted from multiple harvesting manners simultaneously, which presents a more competitive conversion technology. In this study, an Oscillating Water Column (OWC) and Buoy (OB) are combined devise hybrid WEC system that serves as floating breakwater. The two devices aligned in line with the incident direction, wher...

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...

Oscillating water column wave energy converter is a power generation device in which ocean waves excite the oscillation of surface an air chamber, generates fluctuations pressure and rotate turbine generator(s). The fluid chamber phenomenon with natural period, similar to container such as sloshing. Previous research has shown that for oscillating single submerged water, characteristics can be ...

Abstract Wells turbine is an important component in the oscillating water column (OWC) system. Thus, many researchers tend to improve performance via experiment or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, which cheaper. As CFD method becomes more popular, lack of evidence support parameters used during simulation a big issue. This paper aims review models applied for OWC Journal papers fr...

Remedial dredging of contaminated bed sediments in rivers and lakes results in the suspension of sediment solids in the water column, which can potentially be a source for evaporation of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) associated with the sediment solids. Laboratory experiments were conducted in an oscillating grid chamber to simulate the suspension of contaminated sediments and flux to ai...
