Triton: Survivability Enhancement of a Multi-Mode Point Absorber

The overall goal of this project was to design and validate a survival mode for the Triton WEC that allows for a reduction in peak loads, while simultaneously allowing for a reduction of capital cost due to the elimination of overdesign to account for uncertainty. In addition, the...

Characterization for Creek Tides Energy and Power Reversible Blade Turbine

Reactive reversible blade turbine (RRBT) is a new technology which provides a solution to hydro-power generation from slow-moving currents such as rivers, tides, and oceans. It features blades that pivot to capture the maximum force of the water current and then pivot again to a n...

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...
