Integration of wave energy devices with coastal protection structures could be a potentially feasible option to produce energy economically. This paper aims to assess the hydrodynamic efficiencies of wave energy converter (WEC) devices under (i) stand-alone floating conditions and (ii) when integrated with a chambered breakwater. Two different WEC model shapes, considered in the study, are a cylinder and a cylinder with a moonpool for constant mass and diameter conditions. The influence of the moonpool is observed on the hydrodynamic coefficients and heave response characteristics. The results reveal that upon integration with the chambered breakwater, the power performances of the WEC model increased by a maximum factor of 3.65 as compared to stand-alone models. The findings of the study encourage such integration of wave energy converters in coastal structures as an alternate option to enhance wave energy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
