This report provides a description of the modelling techniques used by the AWS Ocean team when seeking to optimise the Archimedes Waveswing™ device in 2007. This early work is referenced as the results of the modelling exercise drove key decisions by AWS Ocean in relation to the Waveswing™ technology at that time. The report also provides a description of a generic modelling tool that has been provided to WES in order to illustrate the techniques used. This modelling tool (XL15-015r1 Example Parametric Model.xlsm) is also available for download.


This report is one of a suite of reports provided to WES and the reader is recommended to read AWS Ocean report to WES number 15-001 AWS Wave Power Development Experience to further understand the context within which this modelling work sits.

Note that additional reports, documents and data files referenced here may not be currently available."
