  1. 1. Multidisciplinary Modelling of Water Piston Oscillations in Wave Energy Converters : Assessment of Flow Resistance Through CFD Modelling with Fluid Structure Interactions

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörs- och kemivetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Linnéa Tebelius; [2022]
    Keywords : Fluid Mechanics; Point Absorber; CFD; WEC; Waves4Power; Strömnigsmekanik; Point Absorber; CFD; WEC; Waves4Power;

    Abstract : As the world’s need for electricity increases, so does its demand for sustainable energy with low to no greenhouse gas emissions. One of these renewable sources of energy is the Ocean which is one of the world’s largest and most predictable energy source, where the extraction of energy can be from waves or tidal current, with zero greenhouse gas emissions during production.

  3. 2. Tracking of Sinking Underwater Node using Inertial Navigation

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Kristoffer Lindve; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Tracking objects underwater is prone to error since no equivalent system to GPS exists for underwater applications. Accurate positioning is vital for conducting surveillance. However, it is hard for a system to keep an accurate prediction while moving without a GPS source. READ MORE

  4. 3. Hardware-In-the-Loop simulation of a small scale prototype of a Wave Energy Converter

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Anton Magnusson; [2020]
    Keywords : Hydrodynamics; Hardware-In-the-Loop; WEC-Sim; Wave Energy Converter; NEMOH; Hydrodynamik; Hardware-In-the-Loop; WEC-Sim; vågenergikonverterare; NEMOH;

    Abstract : Renewable energy sources are a hot topic, both when it comes to climate change and the constant increase in demand of electricity due to population growth and a more electrified society. One such energy source is wave energy - an energy source with great potential but still relatively new with the need for further development. READ MORE

  5. 4. Water Current Measurements using Oceanographic Bottom LanderLoTUS?

    University essay from KTH/Marina system

    Author : Maria Kjelldorff; [2019]
    Keywords : Ocean current velocity; Temperature; Long term; Eulerian; Bottom lander; Sensing;

    Abstract : oTUS is a Long Term Underwater Sensing, bottom landing, node for observations of ocean water temperatures. LoTUS measures temperature (moored to the seafloor) according to a spec-ified time schedule until, at the end of the mission, it surfaces to transmit the collected data to on shore recipients using an Iridium link.

  6. 5. Nearshore Currents in Southeastern Scania

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Emanuel Schmidt; [2017]
    Keywords : Nearshore currents; currents; swimming safety; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The South East Coast of Scania is a popular destination for both Swedish and foreign tourists. The long and wide sandy beaches are well visited by swimmers and beachgoers, but the waters have shown to be treacherous at times. READ MORE
