Design and Development of Offshore Mobile Electricity Generation System using Damping Wave Energy Converter
This research is intended to study the feasibility of harnessing ocean wave energy using a damping wave energy converter (DWEC), a type of passive damping device that operates similarly to a tuned liquid column damper (TLCD) that is designed to reduce externally induced vibration at a designated fre...
