  1. 1. Small-scale wave energy converter for wave tank facility

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

    Author : Samir Asseh; [2023]
    Keywords : Wave power; small-scale; Wave tank; facility; Renewable resources; damping; froude scaling; magnets; copper coil; Uppsala University; buoy; MATLAB; COMSOL; PTO; WEC; Electricicity generation.; Förnybar energi; Vågtank; Vågkraft;

    Abstract : A small-scale wave energy converter was designed and built for teaching and academic purposes to be used at The Division for Electricity, in the Ångström Laboratory at Uppsala University. The design of the power take-off (PTO) makes use of magnets passing through a copper coil for electricity generation. READ MORE

  3. 2. Decarbonisation of service vessels in offshore wind power through power-to-X self-sufficiency

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Clemens Kellander; Ludvig Fredriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Alternative fuels; compressed hydrogen; battery; production; energy storage; operation and maintenance; O M; offshore; wind power; service vessel; crew transfer vessel; CTV; service operations vessel; SOV; decarbonisation; global warming potential; life cycle; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This report examines the possibilities of decarbonising operation & maintenance vessels for a prospective floating offshore wind power park at the Utsira Nord site in Norway, through self-sufficient energy carrier production utilizing power-to-X-solutions. Possible alternative fuels are identified as compressed hydrogen, batteries, liquid hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and biofuels, out of which the former two are the subject for thorough investigation in this report.
