Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, making them a huge source of energy. Wave energy is one of the types of ocean energy, and a variety of energy systems based on wave energy have been proposed to date. Generally, an air turbine or mechanical gear mechanism is used for this conversion. For example, the oscillating water column (OWC) based wave energy system uses Wells and impulse turbines. On the other hand, a point absorber having a buoy floating on the water surface with waves can be linked with a suitable mechanism, and wave energy can be converted. This Special Issue welcomes papers addressing conceptual development, experiments, simulation, and installation, as well as reviews. Authors are encouraged to submit relevant works and disseminate knowledge to the communities on wave energy systems.
