My project, “Physical and Numerical modelling of Wave Energy Converter” aims to optimise the M4 wave energy converter, uncovering its behaviour and performance in varying marine conditions. With enhanced energy conversion capabilities, the M4 device could contribute to a substantial increase in electricity generation from ocean waves, thereby reducing dependence on traditional fossil fuels and making significant strides in combating climate change. This multi-faceted approach combines physical experimentation and advanced numerical modeling to evaluate the converter’s efficiency, reliability, and power output.

The project’s significance extends to industry and government, with potential benefits including increased renewable energy production, reduced reliance on fossil fuels, and advancements in wave energy technology. Our work contributes to the broader goal of achieving a sustainable future, where wave energy plays a pivotal role in meeting global energy demands while preserving the environment for generations to come.
