Wave energy converters use the motion of floating or submerged bodies to extract energy from the waves. Power absorption can be simulated using a simple linear damper with a resistance to motion which is proportional to velocity. Because of the interaction between energy production and motion, there will be an optimum rate of energy production for each wave frequency. Too much damping or too little damping can cause little energy produced. The wave absorption range also depends on the tuned frequency. In this paper, the maximum rates of energy absorption for submerged and floating wave energy converters are evaluated by employing the panel-free method for the motions of the converters in the frequency domain. A general expression for the wave power absorption is described. Numerical studies show that the optimal energy efficiencies of wave energy converters can be well predicted by employing the panel-free method for motion computations.
