Abstract

Oscillating water column (OWC) devices are the technical solution more favourably considered for a significant future exploitation of the energy potential of sea waves. While theoretically quite simple, these systems are indeed rather complex in terms of correct tuning between the caisson and turbine. Recent studies showed that only a holistic approach, also including turbine control, is the way of effectively performing their precise design.
