Influence of platform design and power take-off characteristics on the performance of the E-Motions wave energy converter

•Numerical model of E-Motions calibrated and validated with experimental data.•The hydrodynamic and power performance of eight E-Motions variants assessed.•The trapezoidal prism and half-sphere geometries yielded the best average power outputs.•Improved designs of E-Motions were simulated for differ...
