Explore and compare small wave energy converter performance with the Small WEC Analysis interactive modeling tool. The Small WEC Analysis tool uses performance data from downscaled models of common WEC devices and their calculated performance outputs. The devices include a point absorber, a two-body point absorber (RM3), an oscillating surge device (OSWEC), and an attenuator type device (McCabe Wave Pump). One of the primary use cases for this work is to give an easy way to compare power output for a variety of WECs and model sizes. This publicly available and easily accessible performance library is designed to give access to a more diverse field of technology developers without requiring hydrodynamic experience.
