Evaluation of the performance of an OWC-OWEC hybrid wave energy converter integrated into a sloped breakwater

Key Points

• Performance metrics indicate improved energy output from the hybrid converter under various wave conditions, including higher efficiency rates.
• The analysis method involved real-time data collection and performance evaluation metrics specific to hybrid energy converters.
• Integration within the sloped breakwater design aims to enhance the functionality of wave energy systems in coastal environments.
• This approach may enable more effective deployment of renewable energy solutions but requires further investigation into long-term durability.
