TEAMER: WEC-Sim Modeling of Laminar Scientific Patented Seesaw Wave Energy Converter
Laminar Scientific's patented nearshore seesaw wave energy converter has several features assessed in this study utilizing the Wave Energy Converter SIMulator (WEC-Sim) Facility. One of these features is the ability to change spacing between two spherical floats of the seesaw to adjust to different sea-states and maximize rotational motion produced at the pivot. Conversely, severe wave conditions would warrant the minimization of rotational motion by minimizing float spacing. This study tested the hypothesis that the seesaw wave energy converter (WEC) can generate out-of-phase behavior between its fore and aft floats and that spacing adjustments will lead to improved power capture across a range of sea-states.
This directory contains:
- all Capytaine models, results, and visualization scripts (bemio.m) for the two-float configuration
- slides shared during the biweekly updates, the final test plan and the final post-access report
- all Capytaine models, results, and visualization scripts (bemio.m) for the tri-float configuration
- all the WEC-Sim input files, models, test cases, results, visualizations, plots for the two-float configuration
Post access report and GitHub repository reflecting the work done under the TEAMER RFTS 9 (request for technical support) award.
