Optimization of Wave Energy Converters PTO-system Efficiency
The purpose of the project is improve the efficiency of Power Take off systems for Wave Energy Converters, by analysing and optimizing a new PTO-system with multiple pressure lines. This includes detail analysis of system behaviour and losses using mathematical methods and experimental validation.
