A first-order dynamics and cost comparison of wave energy converters combined with floating wind turbines.
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, 2017-06)Attaching a wave energy converter to a floating wind turbine (FWT-WEC) produces cost savings by sharing the mooring lines, electric transmission lines, and site permitting. We investigate if certain parameters can produce ... -
Experimental Investigation of Hydrodynamic Response of an Ocean Uranium Extraction Machine Attached to a Floating Wind Turbine
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, 2018-09)With conventional sources of uranium forecasted to be depleted within a century, developing methods to cost-effectively harvest uranium from seawater, which is estimated to contain 1,000 times more uranium than land does, ... -
NETSIM: A Realtime Virtual Ocean Hardware-in-the-loop Acoustic Modem Network Simulator
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-10)This paper presents netsim, a combined software/hardware system for performing realtime realistic operation of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) with acoustic modem telemetry in a virtual ocean environment. The design ...
