Design of a 50 GWh wave energy plant

Abstract
A twin unidirectional turbine topology has been proposed as a power module for an OWC based wave energy plant. It has no valves or moving parts and demonstrates high efficiency over a broad range of flow coefficients. Scaling laws show that a turbine of 2.6 m diameter is sufficient to achieve a power rating of 2 MW, Thirty one such modules can be used to produce an annual output of 50 GWh.
