Layout Optimisation of Wave Energy Converter Arrays

Layout Optimisation of Wave Energy Converter Arrays

This paper proposes an optimisation strategy for the layout design of wave energy converter (WEC) arrays. Optimal layouts are sought so as to maximise the absorbed power given a minimum q-factor, the minimum distance between WECs, and an area of deployment. To guarantee an efficient optimisation, a...
