Abstract

A three-dimensional panel method using Neumann–Kelvin method is presented for the transient wave-body interaction problems in order to absorb maximum power from the sea. The exact initial boundary value problem is linearized about a uniform flow, and recast as an integral equation using the transient free-surface Green function. The hydrodynamics part of the solution including radiation and diffraction problem is solved as impulsive velocity problem. A discrete control of latching is used to increase the bandwidth of the efficiency of the wave energy converters (WEC). When latching control is applied to WEC in the case of off-resonance condition it increases the amplitude of the motion as well as absorbed power. It is assumed that the exciting force is known in the close future and that body is hold in position during the latching time. A heaving hemisphere as a point-absorber WEC is used for the numerical prediction of the different parameters. The calculated hydrodynamics coefficients, response amplitude operator, absorbed power, relative capture width of this device compared with analytical and other published results.
