Shoring Up Wave Energy's Bottom Line Through Variable-Geometry WEC Designs
Shoring Up Wave Energy's Bottom Line Through Variable-Geometry WEC Designs Jan. 13, 2021 Control is key: Variable-geometry components may improve energy capture and efficiency, reduce device costs, and pave the way to more affordable wave energy. Image by Josh Bauer, NREL Sustainable, plentiful wave energy holds vast potential for powering the lives of millions of Americans, with 50% of the U.S. population living within 50 miles of the shoreline; however, wave energy converters (WECs) are still in the early stages of ...
