“…Bozzi et al (2013) investigated the feasibility of wave electricity production in Italian seas, by the deployment of a sea-based wave energy converter, considering two buoys of different radii, in order to explore the incidence of WEC dimensions on both energy conversion and device efficiency, maximizing the power output by adding a fully submerged body that, in turn, brings the system into resonance with the typical wave frequencies of candidate deployment site. Finally, Yu et al (2014) analysed a set of three surge wave energy (OSWEC) converters, with the main aim of balancing design performances and costs due to manufacturing, deployment, operation, maintenance and environmental compliance, in a cost-driven design strategy.…”
