Project HARBOUR.OWC 01-12-2018 in IST-CENTEC
The project HARBOUR.OWC: “Harbour protection with dual chamber oscillating water column devices”, aims to develop the recently created concept of dual chamber oscillating water column device.
The responsible researcher is Dr. João Alfredo Santos, member of CENTEC, being Prof C. Guedes Soares the Co-responsible, aims to study a device whose high-performance leads to significant improvement of energy production with respect to the conventional OWC devices, so that it can be employed either as an additional feature of existing rubble mound breakwaters or as standalone harbour creation structure. The project started in December 2018 and is funded by FCT (PTDC/EME-REN/30866/2017).
