Abstract

It is necessary to minimize operational risks prior to a wave energy converter (WEC) being introduced to the market. Failure modes and their underlying causes can be identified by a failure analysis, typically with the aim of implementing remedial actions to address problems and lower the likelihood of future failures and costs. This study identifies failures and targets actions by conducting a failure mode, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) on a generic WEC. It proposes a method of including objective weighting to the severity of components’ failure consequences in the FMECA for a case study in the West of Ireland.
