Presentation
Full-text available
Internal reaction mass (IRM) wave energy converters (WEC) capture wave energy by reacting against a moving mass that is suspended within their hulls. Due to their hermetically sealed Power Take Off (PTO), compact form factor and relatively simple mooring requirements, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory has identified IRM WECs are good candida...

Device reliability is often considered essential to the performance of a wave energy converter. Developers may undertake a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) as a design process to evaluate the high priority failure modes of a prototype. However, failures identified by this process are typically only predicted, and often lack validation from...
Article
Extensive marine growth on man-made structures in the ocean is commonplace, yet there has been limited discussion about the potential implications of marine growth for the wave and tidal energy industry. In response, the Environmental Interactions of Marine Renewables (EIMR) Biofouling Expert Workshop was convened. Discussions involved participants...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Condition monitoring systems (CMS) in renewable energy devices allow for the detection of oncoming faults, providing data to undertake pre-emptive maintenance. By defining a systems functional requirements and identifying critical failure modes, proactive maintenance strategies may be produced. However, the lack of operational data in the marine en...
