We provide specialized modeling and analysis services for marine renewable energy systems, including wave energy converters (WECs) and tidal turbines. Our work involves high-fidelity simulations of device performance under realistic oceanic conditions, accounting for irregular waves, tidal currents, and multi-directional environmental loads. Using numerical tools such as potential flow solvers, CFD, and time-domain dynamics, we simulate energy capture efficiency, structural response, hydrodynamic behavior, and seabed interactions including sediment transport, erosion (scour), and deposition around floating or fixed marine devices. Additionally, we design and analyze mooring systems, ensuring stability, survivability, and optimal energy extraction across a range of sea states. Our comprehensive approach supports feasibility studies, prototype optimization, and deployment planning for offshore energy technologies in diverse marine environments.
Wave Energy Converters (WECs)
We offer specialized modeling and analysis services for Wave Energy Converters (WECs), delivering high-fidelity simulations to assess device performance under realistic and challenging ocean conditions. Our expertise covers the evaluation of energy capture efficiency, structural response, and hydrodynamic behavior of both floating and fixed WEC designs, considering the effects of irregular waves, varying sea states, and multi-directional loads. Using advanced numerical tools such as potential flow solvers, CFD, and time-domain dynamic models, we optimize device geometry, power take-off systems, and mooring configurations to ensure maximum efficiency, stability, and survivability. Our comprehensive approach supports all stages of WEC development—from feasibility studies and prototype optimization to deployment planning—enabling reliable and cost-effective wave energy solutions tailored to diverse marine environments.
Tidal Energy Converters
We provide advanced modeling and analysis services for Tidal Energy Converters (TECs), enabling accurate assessment and optimization of device performance under realistic tidal flow conditions. Our expertise covers both horizontal-axis and vertical-axis tidal turbines, as well as innovative hydrokinetic designs, ensuring optimal energy capture and structural integrity. Using state-of-the-art tools such as CFD, potential flow solvers, and time-domain simulations, we evaluate hydrodynamic efficiency, wake effects, structural loads, and environmental interactions. We also perform detailed site-specific assessments, incorporating tidal current data, bathymetry, and turbulence characteristics to inform device placement and array optimization. Our comprehensive approach supports all stages of TEC projects—from feasibility studies and prototype validation to large-scale deployment—ensuring reliable, efficient, and cost-effective tidal energy solutions tailored to diverse marine environments.
