Optimisation of the Hydrodynamic Performance of a wave energy converter in an Integrated Cylindrical WEC-Type Breakwater System

Wave energy converters (WECs) are built to extract wave energy. However, this kind of device is still expensive for commercial utilization. To cut down the cost of WECs by sharing the construction cost with breakwaters, an integrated cylindrical WEC-type breakwater system that includes a cylindrical...
