讲座内容：Wave energy is so far the largest untapped renewable even though a lot of efforts have been or are being made to extract wave energy from the oceans around the world. A lot of advances have been made, but there are more challenges we are faced in both technological and non-technological aspects. This talk will concentrate on the technological area, with a special focus on physical and numerical modelling technologies and on how we can use these modelling technologies to assess and optimise the device for more wave energy conversion.

In physical modelling, it will be shown how the modelling can be made meaningful and in what condition, the physical modelling is acceptable, as well as how we can model the power take-off systems.

In numerical modelling, this talk will start from the device hydrodynamic equation, including the terms involved in wave energy conversion. Aiming to improve wave energy conversion efficiency, every term in the dynamic equation must be solved and indicated for this purpose. This includes how we can solve the complicated dynamic equation; how we can optimise the device; how the coupling and the optimisation of the power take-off system can be made; and how we can use and implement more practical control technologies for maximising wave energy conversion. Towards to the end of the talk, the real challenges are revealed why the wave energy conversion is so difficult when compared to other energy generations, and how we can achieve the goal for making wave energy more comparative to other renewables or even to conventional wave energy production.
