Performance of a plate‐wave energy converter integrated in a floating breakwater

Abstract A plate‐wave energy converter (pWEC) moored in front of a floating stationary breakwater is considered. The pWEC is composed of a submerged flexible plate with piezoelectric layers bonded to both faces of it. Hence the elastic motion of the plate excited by water waves can be transformed in...
