  3. 2. Design of a small-scale wave energy converter

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

    Author : Sumaya Farjana; [2022]
    Keywords : small-scale point absorber; scaling factors; damping coefficient;

    Abstract : In this study, a small-scale point absorber wave energy converter has been designed contemplating a full-scaled point absorber in the Mediterranean Sea state. The scaling factor for the small-scaled version has been determined by the damping coefficient calculation of the power take-off in 1:10, 1:15, and 1:20 scaling factors. READ MORE

  4. 3. Design and Development of a Data Acquisition and Communication System for Point Absorber Tracking

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

    Author : Balakrishnan Kannan; [2021]
    Keywords : Data Acquisition System; Raspberry Pi; Controller; Processor; Wave buoy; Lysekil; wave energy; measurements; IMU; GPS; Strain gauge; force; Solar energy; Battery; communication; 4G; internet; Remote tracking; Shell; Python;

    Abstract : The recent trend in generating energy from the waves has led to several advancements in the methods and the various research is conducted across the world, to study the behaviour of point absorbers on the waves. The point absorbers such as wave buoys are designed to move according to the waves and the generator that is mechanically coupled with the buoys, generate electricity. READ MORE

  5. 4. Device Resonance Response in a Wave Energy Converter : Investigation of Surge Resonance in a Heaving Point Absorber

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

    Author : Lykke Östbom; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Wave power possesses vast potential to become a considerable energy contributor. The main challenge for wave power to become competitive on the energy market is to minimize the delivered energy cost simultaneously as designing a wave energy converter (WEC) strong enough to survive extreme sea conditions.
