      Dos Santos Sousa Rodrigues, José Miguel; Langhelle, Nina Kristin; Rølvåg, Terje; Cruz, João; Atcheson Cruz, Mairead; Martini, Michele; Garcia Rosa, Paula Bastos; Kamidelivand, Mitra; Alessandri, Giacomo; Gallorini, Federico (ISOPE - International Offshore and Polar Engineering Conference. Proceedings;33, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      As for any novel technology, the need to consider, identify and formulate performance requirements and related assessment criteria has been an important subject in the development of Wave Energy Converters (WECs). These ...
    • Digital Twin supported Structural Health Monitoring of Test Rigs for Wave Energy Applications 

      Rølvåg, Terje; Alessandri, Giacomo; Dos Santos Sousa Rodrigues, José Miguel; Haugen, Bjørn (Chapter, 2024)
      The objective of this paper is to document the development and application process of a generic Digital Twin (DT) test rig model for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). The test rig used for Wave Energy Converter (WEC) ...
    • Failure Consequence Cost Analysis of Wave Energy Converters—Component Failures, Site Impacts, and Maintenance Interval Scenarios 

      Kamidelivand, Mitra; Deeney, Peter; Murphy, Jimmy; Dos Santos Sousa Rodrigues, José Miguel; Garcia Rosa, Paula Bastos; Atcheson, Mairead; Alessandri, Giacomo; Gallorini, Federico (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      In the early stages of developing wave energy converter (WEC) projects, a quantitative assessment of component failure consequence costs is essential. The WEC types, deployment site features, and accessibility should all ...
    • Incorporating Objective Weights in the Risk Assessment of Wave Energy Converters 

      Kamidelivand, Mitra; Murphy, Jimmy; Dos Santos Sousa Rodrigues, José Miguel; Garcia Rosa, Paula Bastos; Alessandri, Giacomo; Atcheson, Mairead (ISOPE - International Offshore and Polar Engineering Conference. Proceedings;34, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      It is necessary to minimize operational risks prior to a wave energy converter (WEC) being introduced to the market. Failure modes and their underlying causes can be identified by a failure analysis, typically with the aim ...
    • Investigation of the feasibility for a combined offshore wind and wave energy plant in the Norwegian waters 

      Stefanakos, Christos; De Vaal, Jacobus Bernardus; Dos Santos Sousa Rodrigues, José Miguel (Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Offshore areas in Norwegian waters with negative correlation between wind and wave energy resources have been identified. This finding is of great importance, as it suggests that combined wind and wave energy deployment ...
