1. 1. Self-levelling Platform Concept for a Winch-based, Single Point Absorbing, Wave Energy Converter

   University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Avd.)

   Author : Anton Bergman; Robin Eriksson; Lars-Fredrik Grahn; [2020]
   Keywords : Point absorbing; Self-levelling; Wave power; Winch-based; Nivellerande; Punktabsorberande; Vågkraft; Vinschbaserat;

   Abstract : This report covers a bachelor thesis project to design a concept for a levelling system to a point absorbing wave energy converter that uses a winch with a chain, which has restricted capabilities to bending and thus requires a system which compensates for this. First of all, a literature study was made to see if there were any technologies that could be used, and also a wide search for information about the wave conditions in the Baltic sea were performed to find what requirements would be necessary for the concept to be able to withstand the conditions faced there.

3. 2. A durable mooring system for a winch-based wave energy converter

   University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

   Author : Mingming Wang; [2017]
   Keywords : wave energy converter; winch; fatigue calculations; Vågomvandlare; vinsch; utmattningsberäkningar;

   Abstract : This project has dealt with the developing a new technology for a renewable energy source, the wave energy, which is considered as one of the renewable resources with a potential to contribute to an energy production corresponding to about 10% of the world’s energy consumption nowadays. A point absorber concept that is using a Power Take-off (PTO) unit converts the sea surface wave motion into electricity thanks to a buoy at the sea surface which is moved by the waves. READ MORE

4. 3. The Need for Permanent Mooring Buoys in  the Gulf of Thailand : A Minor Field Study

   University essay from KTH/Industriell ekologi

   Author : Maria Andersson; Mikaela Ring; [2013]
   Keywords : Coral reefs; mooring buoys; coral reef management; Gulf of Thailand; sustainable development;

   Abstract : The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the need for permanent mooring buoys at the popular off-shore islands of Pattaya, Thailand. By investigating the ecological, social and economic gains and losses of installing such buoys, the project aims to examine whether such buoys would help support a more sustainable development in the area.

5. 4. Automatic Adjustment of the Floatation Level for a Tight-moored Buoy

   University essay from Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : William Healy Strömgren; [2005]
   Keywords : Static mooring; tight mooring; buoy; linear generator; wave energy converter WEC ; point absorber; sea level change; tides; storm surges.;

   Abstract : Denna rapport ger förslag på olika metoder att automatiskt justera flytläget på en statiskt förankrad boj, en överblick över de processer som styr ändringen av vattennivån och en statisktisk analys på vattennivåförändringarna vid Stockholm, Kungsholmsfort och Kungsvik. Beroende på vattenivåns variation finns olika metoder för justering. READ MORE

6. 5. SEAFLEX BUOY MOORING SYSTEM A Market Study in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Produktionsekonomi

   Author : Wei Gu; [2005]
   Keywords : target customers; Early Adopter; business potential; Buoy mooring system; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Sweden is a country surrounded by water and consequently boating is one of the most popular spare time activities in Sweden. The active boating life, in turn, leads to a healthy boating industry in Sweden and boating production plays an important role for the Swedish industry. READ MORE
