Abstract
A single-blade or double-blade cycloidal turbine can operate as a wave generator or a wave energy converter. Efficient operation techniques can adjust a pitch angle, a radial size, and/or a depth of the cycloidal turbine according to the height and wavelength of an incoming wave. The rotation of the cycloidal turbine can be controlled so that a rotational period of the cycloidal turbine matches the period of the wave and so that a target difference is maintained between a rotation angle of the cycloidal turbine and a phase angle of the wave.
