CO-LOCATED WAVE AND OFFSHORE WIND FARMS: A PRELIMINARY CASE STUDY OF AN HYBRID ARRAY
In recent years, with the consolidation of offshore wind technology and the progress carried out for wave energy technology, the option of co-locate both technologies at the same marine area has arisen. Co-located projects are a combined solution to tackle the shared challenge of reducing technology costs or a more sustainable use of the natural resources. In particular, this paper deals with the co-location of Wave Energy Conversion (WEC) technologies into a conventional offshore wind farm. More specifically, an overtopping type of WEC technology was considered in this work to study the effects of its co-location with a conventional offshore wind park
Support the next generation by sponsoring the 2024 Windstorm Challenge!
The Windstorm Challenge is a unique opportunity for middle and high school students to get hands-on engineering practice at the Advanced Structures and Composites Center (ASCC). Organized by the same team that brings you AFloat, the Windstorm Challenge seeks to educate the next generation of floating offshore wind innovators

Topologically Induced Optical Activity in Graphene-Based Meta-Structures
Non-reciprocity and asymmetric transmission in optical and plasmonic systems
is a key element for engineering the one-way propagation structures for light
manipulation. Here we investigate topological nanostructures covered with
graphene-based meta-surfaces, which consist of a periodic pattern of
sub-wavelength stripes of graphene winding around the (meta-) tube or
(meta-)torus. We establish the relation between the topological and plasmonic
properties in these structures, as justified by simple theoretical expressions.
Our results demonstrate how to use strong asymmetric and chiral plasmonic
responses to tailor the electrodynamic properties in topological
meta-structures. Cavity resonances formed by elliptical and hyperbolic plasmons
in meta-structures are sensitive to the one-way propagation regime in a finite
length (Fabry-Perot-like) meta-tube and display the giant mode splitting in a
(Mach-Zehnder-like) meta-torus.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figures + TOC figure, accepted by ACS Photonic
