A Pull-Out Mooring Wave Energy Converter: Design, Analysis, and Application.

ABSTRACT: Wave energy converters (WEC), as alternative power sources for marine equipment, play a crucial role in promoting the development and utilization of ocean resources. However, the harsh marine environment and the low-frequency nature of ocean waves pose substantial challenges to the lifespan and energy conversion efficiency of WECs. This paper proposes a pull-out mooring wave energy converter (POM-WEC) integrating a high-performance electromagnetic power take-off (EPTO) system. The EPTO system can convert the low-frequency and low-speed wave excitation into high-speed inertial rotational motion of the rotor. Under an excitation velocity of 0.5 m s^-1, the EPTO system achieves an average output power of 9.1 mW. A comprehensive methodology based on response amplitude operators and C
