Focusing Wave Energy for Wave Energy Converter Applications

Wave tank tests at Stevens Institute of Technology quantified the ability of near-surface platforms to concentrate wave energy over the platform. Due to the instantaneous change in water depth, mass, energy, and power are conserved in this process. The energy and power concentrat...
