First, the main characteristics of CECO and its work principle are briefly presented. Then, the behavior of the device is analyzed for different wave conditions and modes of operation (power take-off damping levels and device inclinations), based on results obtained with a physical model built on a geometric scale of 1\/20. CECO performance strongly depends on the incident wave characteristics, the device inclination angle, and the damping introduced by the power-take-off. Relative capture widths of up to 14% were reached in this initial study, confirming that CECO is a valid technology to extract energy from waves. The application of wavelets showed that CECO response occurs mainly in the frequency of incident waves during the entire test duration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1063\/1.4938179","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,30]],"date-time":"2015-12-30T18:00:35Z","timestamp":1451498435000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["CECO wave energy converter: Experimental proof of concept"],"prefix":"10.1063","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Paulo","family":"Rosa-Santos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Porto 1 Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR), Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, , Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, s\/n, 4200 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Francisco","family":"Taveira-Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Porto 1 Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR), Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, , Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, s\/n, 4200 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Lu\u00eds","family":"Teixeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u00c1guas do Porto 2 , EM, rua Bar\u00e3o Nova Sintra, No. 285, 4300-367 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8353-8695","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PT Portugal 3 , rua de Felizardo de Lima, No. 43, 2, 4100-283 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"317","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023063015253186800_c1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3033","DOI":"10.3390\/en6063033","article-title":"Modeling of a point absorber for energy conversion in Italian seas","volume":"6","year":"2013","journal-title":"Energies"},{"key":"2023063015253186800_c2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.enconman.2014.12.068","article-title":"Intra-annual wave resource characterization for energy exploitation: A new decision-aid tool","volume":"93","year":"2015","journal-title":"Energy Convers.
