1. 1. 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.

   Abstract : Wave ocean energy is a source of renewable energy which is gaining interest in the modern world. In contrast to other well-researched renewable energy sources such as wind energy, wave ocean energy is under the development phase. Governments around the world are encouraging the research of harnessing wave energy. READ MORE

4. 3. Modelling the Dynamics and Forcesof Wave Energy Converters using WEC-Sim

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

   Author : David Johansson; [2020]
   Keywords : WEC-Sim; Uppsala Point Absorber; peak line force; model; irregular waves;

   Abstract : The waves traveling on the surface of the world’s oceans carry atremendous amount of energy. The ability to convert this energy forhuman use has the potential to help solves the worlds energy problem. READ MORE

5. 4. 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

6. 5. Comparison between Active and Passive AC-DC Converters For Low Power Electromagnetic Self-Powering Systems : A theoretical and experimental study of low power AC-DC converters

   University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för elektronikkonstruktion

   Author : Ibrahim Hamed; [2020]
   Keywords : Energy-harvesting; electromagnetic; rectifiers; AC DC-converters; Active voltage doublers; Passive voltage doublers.;

   Abstract : Electromagnetic based energy harvesting systems such as Variable reluctance energy harvesting systems (VREH) have shown to be an effective way of extracting the energy of rotating parts. The transducer can provide enough power to run an electronic sensing system, but the problem arises in finding an efficient way of rectifying that power to generate a stable energy supply to run a system, which this report will investigate.
