Performance Modelling Of Flap-Type Wave Energy Converter Array: Flaps With Various Dynamic Characteristics

Generally, it is expected that the total power of N energy converters in an array will be less than N times the power of a single operative converter. The goal of this paper is to enhance the oscillation of the flap-type WEC and consequently the energy extraction of the whole array in front of a coastal structure. Flaps in an array show...
