A Twin Unidirectional Impulse Turbine for Wave Energy Conversion—Effect of Fluidic Diode on the Performance
As a system using a conventional unidirectional air turbine in oscillating water column (OWC) based on a wave energy plant, a twin unidirectional impulse turbine topology has been suggested in previous studies. However, the average efficiency of the suggested twin turbine is considerably lower than that of a conventional unidirectional turbine in this topology because reciprocating air flow can...
متن کاملQuasi-Steady Analytical Model Benchmark of an Impulse Turbine for Wave Energy Extraction
This work presents a mean line analysis for the prediction of the performance and aerodynamic loss of axial flow impulse turbine wave energy extraction, which can be easily incorporated into the turbine design program. The model is based on the momentum principle and the well-known Euler turbine equation. Predictions of torque, pressure drop, and turbine efficiency showed favorable agreement wi...
متن کاملWave Energy Resource Analysis for Use in Wave Energy Conversion
In order to correctly predict and evaluate the response of wave energy converters (WECs), an accurate representation of wave climate resource is crucial. This paper gives an overview of wave resource modeling techniques and applies a methodology to estimate the naturally available and technically recoverable resource in a given deployment site. The methodology was initially developed by the Ele...
متن کاملTurbine development for the Wave Dragon wave energy converter
The Wave Dragon is a wave energy converter of the overtopping type which has been developed by a European consortium during the last five years. It uses a set of low head water turbines as power takeoff system. In the course of a two year research programme the basic conception of the turbines has been established, the turbine geometry has been designed and a model turbine has been built and te...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Wells Turbine for Wave Power Conversion
Article history: Received 26.04.2012. Received in revised form 17.07.2012. Accepted 17.07.2012. Sea wave energy is one of the high potential renewable energy sources. The Wells turbine as the main part of Oscillating Water Column energy plant is analyzed in this paper. The Wells turbine uses air flow produced by the pressure change inside the oscillating water column. Efficient energy transform...
