The present study aims to analyze the state of the art of scientific studies about the Overtopping device used to convert sea wave energy into electrical energy, by means the Bibliometric Methodology. The development of this study took place through the selection of articles from conference proceedings, as well as national and international journals. The Bibliometric methodology consists of a statistical tool that allows quantifying the measurement of production indexes. Using selected keywords, it was conducted a survey of studies in the online databases of Science Direct, SciELO and Google Scholar. The works found then went through a filtering process, in order to limit the bibliometric study only to studies about Overtopping devices as sea wave energy converter. Finally, the investigation of these selected articles was carried out under the optics of production and authorship study, content study and study of bibliographic references. Where it was identified growth in publications related to the topic, methodologies used and, among other indicators, the authors most cited in the analyzed articles. The predominant keywords used were “Wave Energy Converter” and “Overtopping”. It was noted that Brazilian universities are leaders in the productivity, presenting more than 36% of the scientific production regarding Overtopping WECs.

In this work, the hydrodynamic performance of a novel wave energy converter (WEC) configuration which combines a moonpool platform and a javelin floating buoy, called the moonpool–javelin wave energy converter (MJWEC), was studied by semianalytical, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and experimental methods. The viscous term is added to the potential flow solver to obtain the hydrodynamic coefficients. The wave force, the added mass, the radiation damping, the wave capture, and the energy efficiency of the configuration were assessed, in the frequency and time domains, by a semianalytical method. The CFD method results and the semianalytical results were compared for the time domain by introducing nonlinear power take-off (PTO) damping; additionally, the viscous dissipation coefficients under potential flow could be confirmed. Finally, a 1:10 scale model was physically tested to validate the numerical model and further prove the feasibility of the proposed system.
