Abstract

This paper presents some of the research currently undertaken by the newly established Wave Energy Research Centre at the University of Western Australia to support Carnegie Clean Energy in deploying a 1.5MW grid connected wave energy converter in Torbay, Albany, Western Australia. This includes the modelling of the wave resources in Torbay, wave tank testing and hydrodynamic modelling to characterise and predict the motion of the wave energy converter and some aspects of geotechnical engineering to optimise the foundations of the device.
