Abstract
Multiple wave energy converter archetypes exist with varying power take-off (PTO) designs in the attempt to maximize ocean energy harnessed and converted into useful energy. The pendulum PTO is popular for its simple, yet robust functionality due to its internally located components and simple operation. The pendulum system also exhibits chaotic behavior and its affect on power output is studied. When varying wave height and period, PTO damping, and pendulum mass, design, and radius arm, power output is consistently generally greater when the system is exhibiting stable versus chaotic behavior.
