Abstract

Understanding the dynamics of wave energy converters (WECs) under extreme wave conditions is crucial when designing for their survivability. Results are presented from an experimental campaign investigating extreme responses of a model-scale WEC, representative of a submerged buoy WEC called CETO being developed by Carnegie Wave Energy Limited (CWE). The response parameter of interest is the model power take-off (PTO) extension, which corresponds to the piston stroke within the hydraulic cylinder of the prototype PTO system. The experimentally derived response amplitude operator (RAO), together with higher order response corrections, are shown to be effective in prediction of the extreme responses and the design wave groups leading to these extremes.
