There has been a significant interest in developing Flexible Wave Energy Converters (FlexWECs) that utilise structural deformations to generate electricity and mitigate destructive wave loads to the devices. In the meantime, ...

In this study, a novel floating dual-chamber backward bent duct buoy oscillating water column (BBDB-OWC) wave energy converter (WEC) is introduced, featuring a horizontal plate at the bottom of the front chamber to act as ...
