Wake effects behind a farm of wave energy converters for irregular long-crested and short-crested waves Ghent University
Introducing wave generation by wind in a mild-slope wave propagation model MILDwave, to investigate the wake effects in the lee of a farm of wave energy converters Ghent University
The increasing energy demand, the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the shrinking reserves of fossil fuels have all enhanced the interest in sustainable and renewable energy sources, including wave energy. Many concepts for wave power conversion have been invented. In order to extract a considerable amount of wave power, single Wave Energy Converters (abbreviated as WECs) will have to be arranged in arrays or 'farms' using a particular ...
Optimization of the lay-out of a farm of wave energy converters in the North Sea: analysis of wave power resources, wake effects, production and cost Ghent University
Wave energy holds a lot of possibilities, as oceans contain an infinite amount of energy. In the past many concepts for wave power conversion were invented and tested. A Wave Energy Converter (WEC) converts the kinetic and/or potential energy of waves into electricity. Thus far, none of the concepts for wave power conversion has reached a maturity that makes it economic exploitable due to several technological and non-technological barriers. As ...
Numerical simulation of wake effects in the lee of a farm of Wave Dragon wave energy converters Ghent University
Application of the time-dependent mild-slope equations for the simulation of wake effects in the lee of a farm of Wave Dragon wave energy converters Ghent University
On the accuracy of internal wave generation method in a non-hydrostatic wave model to generate and absorb dispersive and directional waves Flanders Hydraulics Ghent University
The weakly reflective wave generation is a wave generation and absorption method in phase-resolving models, based on the assumption that the waves propagating towards the wave generation boundary are small amplitude shallow water waves with direction perpendicular to the boundary. This assumption makes the method weakly reflective for dispersive and directional waves. The internal wave generation method was proposed by Vasarmidis et al. (2019b) ...
Re-reflection of backward propagating waves leads to amplification of the forward pressure wave in wave separation analysis Ghent University
Modelling of a flap-type wave energy converter farm in a mild-slope equation model for a wake effect assessment Ghent University
Wave measurements at Galgeschoor: sub report 1. Analysis of velocities and waves during an intensive measuring campaign (November 2015) Flanders Hydraulics
In the framework of the planned construction of the Saeftinghedok, it is important to get more information on the possible effects of the expected increased wave climate on the protected area of Galgeschoor, with its mud flats and tidal marshes. Furthermore, the construction of the Kieldrechtsluis is finished, which can lead to increased shipping traffic to the Deurganckdok. To estimate the possible environmental effects due to this economic ...
