In the past decades the need of wave energy systems has significantly increased. This article quickly describes the Wells turbine and possibilities to enhance its performance and should answer the question: what are the design parameters that can be optimized? Furthermore it gives a small outlook about the history of oscillating Water Columns.}, language = {en} }
