A sliding mass wave energy converter

Abstract

This paper presents a wave energy converter which is based on a sliding mass coupled to a linear generator. In order to maximize energy extraction, the stochastic features of the energy source has been included in the mathematical model of the system in order to satisfactorily tackle the problem. The results of several simulations are presented.
