Ocean wave energy absorption in response to wave period and amplitude - offshore experiments on a wave energy converter

The ability of a wave energy converter to capture the energy of ocean waves has been studied in offshore experiments. This study covers 50 days during which the converter was subjected to ocean wav ...
