The performance of an OWC device placed over stepped bottom is analyzed in random waves environment. To model the random local wave climate, the Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum along with two different sea states are considered. The effect of front wall draft, wall thickness, device chamber length and turbine damping coefficient on the efficiency of the device are discussed in details. It is observed that the local wave climate plays a vital role on the performance and efficiency of the OWC device along with the variation in device parameters.
