Results

Generated electrical power for the 11 reference seastates is shown below. For comparison purposes, results published on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy (Neary et al., 2014) are also included. Very close agreement of power output is demonstrated for low to medium wave periods. Some discrepancies begin become to become apparent for the upper wave periods, where Flexcom appears to overestimate the mechanical power from the device. A qualitative assessment of the overall trend suggests that the Flexcom results are consistent with expectations as both data sets are generally well aligned.
