Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present the effects of wave amplitude and wave frequency variations on the energy recovered by a DEXA Wave, which is a wave energy converter (WEC) device. The two-body articulated floating WEC consists of two connected rigid bodies, the energy is recovered by taking advantage of the relative movement between the two parts set in motion differently by the wave. The results show that the value of the wave amplitude and wave period have an impact on the recovered energy by the WEC. The present work shown that for this type of WEC, an increase in the amplitude of the wave does not necessarily improve the energy recovered by the WEC also it is shown that the considered WEC could be typical for low wave amplitude areas.
