Comparison of wave energy converters
Although many fundamental results on wave power absorption were discovered in the 1970s and 80s, the most economic way of harnessing wave energy remains an open question. This ongoing project aims at developing new non-dimensional metrics to assess the relative cost-effectiveness of different wave energy converters.
