Assessment of novel WEC with rubber air - water interface - performance validation - optimisation and demonstration of associated cost benefits

TSB项目的目的是提高对AWS-III波浪能系统的理解，并通过在开尔文流体动力学实验室进行的一系列模型试验评估性能改进的机会。这是结合使用外部和内部建模资源的免费数值建模完成的。进行了第9、20和50级测试，以告知和增强对设备、子系统组件及其行为的理解。这导致了设计改进、技术开发以及学习和理解我们如何优化AWS-III设备，以提高功率性能、生存能力和动态稳定性，并降低由此产生的能源成本。

The aim of the TSB project was to improve understanding of the AWS-III wave energy system and assess opportunities for performance improvements via a series of model tests at the Kelvin Hydrodynamics Laboratory. This was done in conjunction with complimentary numerical modelling using external and internal modelling resource.9th, 20th and 50th Scale tests were undertaken to inform and enhance understanding of the device, subsystem components and their behaviours. This led to design improvements, technology developments and learning and understanding of how we can optimise the AWS-III device to improve power performance, survivability and dynamic stability and reduce the resulting cost of energy.
