Abstract

Wave Energy Converters (WECs) often face power fluctuations due to wave variability, making grid integration costly. To mitigate this, placing multiple WECs in an array can reduce both power variability and expenses. Prior research has limited consideration of the impact of individual WECs on the disturbed wave field. Therefore, a novel simulation framework is proposed which is capable of evaluating the disturbed wave field by coupling a time domain hydrodynamics solver (ProteusDS) and a spectral wave field propagation model (Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN)).
