Abstract
In general it is possible to extend modelling techniques that are used for modelling single wave energy converters (WECs) to model WEC arrays; it is simply correctly defining the geometric layout and degrees-of-freedom. Indeed, these multiple degree-of-freedom array models are the most common method used for modelling WEC arrays. However, in addition to any issues associated with the particular modelling technique, there are additional issues that need to be ...
