Rosa Santos Paulo in OpenAIREThe renewable energy technologies produced 20% of EU’s electricity consumption in 2010. The share of renewables for electricity generation is expected to increase to about 40% in 2020 to meet the EU target of 20% overall energy consumption from renewables, and it should further increase to 66% in 2030 and 100% in 2050, according to the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC, 2010). A wide variety of wave energy conversion technologies are currently being developed. A new wave energy converter (WEC) - CECO, aims at converting in electricity both the kinetic and the potential wave energy, and is composed of a central element and two lateral movable modules (LMM), which move, upward and downward, under the action of incident waves, Figure 1. The proof of concept of this patented WEC was carried out at the Hydraulics Laboratory of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, on a geometrical scale of 1:20. The paper presents some results of those tests and analyses the CECO response for different wave conditions and modes of operation (power take-off damping level and WEC inclination). Two different techniques were used to evaluate the power absorbed. The analysis is based on the measured motion, velocity and acceleration time series, the mean absorbed power and corresponding relative capture widths. The potential of this new concept was confirmed, as relative capture widths of up to 30% were obtained. In addition, these results are expected to improve after optimizing some components of this WEC. Figure 1. Representation of CECO (a) and its mode of operation: (b) upward motion - the wave crest passes by the LMM; (c) downward motion - the wave trough passes by LMM.

P. Rosa-Santos in OpenAIREAbstract CECO is a recently proposed Wave Energy Converter (WEC), which harnesses both the kinetic and potential energy of waves. Currently, CECO is at the third level of technology readiness (TRL3). In this context, maximising the wave energy absorption under a wide range of wave conditions is crucial for the future development of the device. Therefore, this work aims to explore in detail the main parameters (operating water depth and wave conditions) that influence CECO's performance in terms of Captured Energy ( C E ) and Captured Energy Efficiency ( C E E f f ). For this purpose, a panel-based model, which was calibrated from previous physical model tests was used to construct the CECO matrices of absorbed wave power at different operating water depths. The wave conditions of the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula (2005–2014), which were modelled using SWAN, were used as case study. Overall, CECO offers promising results for C E and C E E f f , reaching values up to 600 M W h and 45%, respectively. In addition, it was found that CECO's power absorption reaches its maximum for values of peak wave periods ( T p ) ranging from 10 to 13 s and the fact that the operating water depth does not impact significantly the performance of the device.

This paper presents the experimental proof of concept of CECO, an innovative wave energy converter designed to convert simultaneously the kinetic and the potential energy of ocean waves into electrical energy, based on the oblique motion of two floating modules. First, the main characteristics of CECO and its work principle are briefly presented. Then, the behavior of the device is analyzed for different wave conditions and modes of operation (power take-off damping levels and device inclinations), based on results obtained with a physical model built on a geometric scale of 1/20. CECO performance strongly depends on the incident wave characteristics, the device inclination angle, and the damping introduced by the power-take-off. Relative capture widths of up to 14% were reached in this initial study, confirming that CECO is a valid technology to extract energy from waves. The application of wavelets showed that CECO response occurs mainly in the frequency of incident waves during the entire test duration.

P. Rosa-Santos in OpenAIRECECO is a novel Wave Energy Converter (WEC) concept, which has shown promising results in previous studies. The present work focuses on assessing the performance of CECO for a 11-year horizon in relation to the characteristics of the wave climate (intra and inter-annual seasonal variations) by means of two performance indicators defined ad hoc: Captured Energy (CE) and Captured Energy Efficiency (CEEff). For this purpose, the CECO matrix of absorbed wave power was constructed for an operating water depth of 30 m using the panel-based model ANSYS®-AQWA™. The Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula, which presents a highly seasonal and energetic wave climate, was used as case study. Overall, it was found that CECO is able to capture large amounts of wave energy, especially for milder wave conditions, with values of CEEff exceeding 40%. However, for harsher wave conditions the results of CEEff decrease considerably ranging from 10% to 20%, which may result from the current design of CECO. In this context, the results obtained offer some valuable insight into the future evolution of CECO with the purpose of addressing the limitations of the current design and to optimise its performance according to the wave conditions for specific locations.

F. Taveira-Pinto in OpenAIREThis paper addresses a recently conducted numerical study on the E-Motions wave energy converter, aimed at improving its energy performance and efficiency. The Potential Flow Theory-based ANSYS (R) AqwaTM software was used, being a robust industry-standard code that has been successfully applied to the E-Motions case study, in the past. Data from a preceding physical modelling campaign was applied towards calibration procedures for three platform variants - half-cylinder, half-sphere and trapezoidal prism, with and without the power take-off and subjected to regular waves. A non-dimensional root mean square error minimization approach was employed. Afterwards, the focus shifted towards defining and comparing the performance of sixteen E-Motions sub-variants, which included a new hull shape: enclosed frustum. Two additional stages were carried out: one oriented towards assessing ten power take-off mass-damping combinations and another to the study of four mooring system configurations. Results point towards a very significant hydrodynamic response, particularly within the resonance range and for the half-cylinder and half-sphere sub-variants, and maximum average power outputs of nearly 40 kW. For the best half-cylinder, half-sphere, trapezoidal prism and enclosed frustum sub-variants, the annual energy production estimates, per device, were 141, 110, 106 and 91 MWh/yr, respectively.

The combined exploitation of wave and offshore wind energy resources is expected to improve the cost competitiveness of the wave energy industry as a result of shared capital and operational costs. In this context, the objective of this work is to explore the potential benefits of co-locating CECO, an innovative wave energy converter, with the commercial WindFloat Atlantic wind farm, located on the northern coast of Portugal. For this purpose, the performance of the combined farm was assessed in terms of energy production, power smoothing and levelised cost of energy (LCoE). Overall, the co-located farm would increase the annual energy production by approximately 19% in comparison with the stand-alone wind farm. However, the benefits in terms of power output smoothing would be negligible due to the strong seasonal behaviour of the wave resource in the area of study. Finally, the LCoE of the co-located farm would be drastically reduced in comparison with the stand-alone wave farm, presenting a value of 0.115 per USD/kWh, which is similar to the levels of the offshore wind industry as of five years ago. Consequently, it becomes apparent that CECO could progress more rapidly towards commercialisation when combined with offshore wind farms.

This study aims to improve the design of scour protection around offshore wind turbine monopiles, as well as future-proofing them against the impacts of climate change. A series of large-scale experiments have been performed in the context of the European HYDRALAB-PLUS PROTEUS (Protection of offshore wind turbine monopiles against scouring) project in the Fast Flow Facility in HR Wallingford. These experiments make use of state of the art optical and acoustic measurement techniques to assess the damage of scour protections under the combined action of waves and currents. These novel PROTEUS tests focus on the study of the grading of the scour protection material as a stabilizing parameter, which has never been done under the combined action of waves and currents at a large scale. Scale effects are reduced and, thus, design risks are minimized. Moreover, the generated data will support the development of future scour protection designs and the validation of numerical models used by researchers worldwide. The testing program objectives are: (i) to compare the performance of single-layer wide-graded material used against scouring with current design practices; (ii) to verify the stability of the scour protection designs under extreme flow conditions; (iii) to provide a benchmark dataset for scour protection stability at large scale; and (iv) to investigate the scale effects on scour protection stability.

Henrique Cestaro in OpenAIREAbstract Ocean waves constitute an abundant source of clean and predictable energy, with the potential to partly replace carbon intensive energy sources. At present, several technologies to convert wave energy into electricity are being developed, but those suitable for integration into port breakwaters present additional advantages. This paper presents a novel concept that combines two well-known wave energy conversion principles, an oscillating water column and a multi-reservoir overtopping system. This hybrid concept was designed to be integrated in rubble-mound breakwaters, having as case study Leixoes’ northern breakwater, Portugal. The performance and efficiency of the single components were assessed separately as well as that of the hybrid module as a whole, to demonstrate the advantages of their combination into a single unit. Furthermore, the annual energy production was estimated for a 20 m wide hybrid module considering the local metocean conditions. Results showed that overall efficiency amounted to circa 44.4%, the wave-to-wire efficiency to 27.3% and the annual electricity production was estimated at 35 MWh/m. Considering that 240 m of the reference breakwater are used, the developed hybrid module could provide approximately 50% of the electricity consumption of the Port of Leixoes, which demonstrates the potential and interest of the developed technology.

At present, several technologies to convert wave energy into electricity are being developed, but those suitable for integration into port breakwaters present additional advantages. This paper presents a novel concept that combines two well-known wave energy conversion principles, an oscillating water column and a multi-reservoir overtopping system. This hybrid concept was designed to be integrated in rubble-mound breakwaters, having as case study Leixoes’ northern breakwater, Portugal. The performance and efficiency of the single components were assessed separately as well as that of the hybrid module as a whole, to demonstrate the advantages of their combination into a single unit. Furthermore, the annual energy production was estimated for a 20 m wide hybrid module considering the local metocean conditions. Results showed that overall efficiency amounted to circa 44.4%, the wave-to-wire efficiency to 27.3% and the annual electricity production was estimated at 35 MWh/m. Considering that 240 m of the reference breakwater are used, the developed hybrid module could provide approximately 50% of the electricity consumption of the Port of Leixoes, which demonstrates the potential and interest of the developed technology.

Paulo Rosa-Santos in OpenAIREAbstract Power estimation is the most important task in the performance assessment of wave energy converters (WEC). Depending on the type of WEC, power take-off (PTO) system, and available instrumentation, different approaches are usually applied to assess power from experimental tests. Since neither for tests execution nor for the analyses exist standard methodologies, the estimated power can significantly differ among the approaches, thus, introducing inaccuracies in the assessment of the WEC’s performance. This study analyzed an extensive set of experimental results of a WEC and applied different power estimation approaches to compare and validate the obtained results. The strengths and weaknesses of those methodologies were analyzed and discussed. The major outcomes were: (a) PTO damping characterization based on bench tests can lead to unrealistic values of the WEC’s absorbed power; (b) the hybrid (experimental plus numerical) approach provide more reliable results than the traditional ones; (c) the kinetic energy harvester approach underestimates power but can be useful for preliminary qualitative performance assessments; (d) the new proposed gross efficiency index allows the definition of upper boundaries for wave power conversion as well as the identification of the wave conditions for which WEC performance can be improved.
