Abstract This paper presents the design of an innovative wave energy converter, namely, Electrical Power Generation - WEC Device System from the Swell, abbreviated as WECFS. This WEC device has been registered for a patent in the Spanish Office of the Patents and Brands (OEPM) with the registration number of the innovative utility model-Patent Model: 202131440(5). The study reported in this paper endeavours to demonstrate the technical feasibility, functional mechanical-kinematic behaviour, and the performance of the proof-of-concept WEC device system, in order to determine their energy extraction capacities and functionalities. The overall energy extracted with eight electrical generators A/C is 0.185 MWatts calculated analytically. The levelized cost of energy is a very important metric in determining whether to move forward with the project, where the cost of energy target has been as cheap as $0.07kWh; this value of LCOE could be improved with optimisations on the practical design parameters. This preliminary study investigates the factors influencing standardized and industrialized for the new WEC device system and can be used to guide the optimization of this type of device technology.

Sir Charles Parsons died some three years after the author was born. In this paper the author looks back at the pioneering work of Parsons in the field of power generation. It shows how he was able to increase output of the steam turbine generator from 7.5 kW in 1884 to 50000 kW in 1930 while increasing efficiency from 1.6 to 36 per cent, and relates these achievements to the current state of the art. Blading design, rotor construction and other aspects of turbine engineering are considered. The conclusion is that Parsons and his associates charted the course which manufacturers and utilities throughout the world have continued to follow, although increasingly sophisticated design and analytical methods have succeeded the intuitive approach of Parsons. His constant search for improved efficiency was and is highly relevant to today's concern for the environment. Finally, although it did not become a practical proposition in his lifetime, the paper reviews Parsons' vision of, and continuing interest in, the gas turbine, first mentioned in his 1884 patents.
