Abstract

A method by which one can measure the hydrodynamic efficiency of a wave power converter is discussed. Provided one measures both the horizontal and the vertical wave motion, it is sufficient to have measurements at one point closely in front of the converter and at another point behind it. Good estimates of the efficiency can be obtained without a Fourier analysis of the waves. The method should be useful both for measurements in the laboratory and in the ocean.
