An experimental investigation simulating flow effects in first generation marine current energy converter arrays
At present a small number of full-scale marine current energy converters are undergoing sea trials to demonstrate commercial viability of the technology. In order to provide meaningful quantities of electrical power to the grid, the next phase in the development of the technology will be the installation and operation of farms or arrays composed of multiple devices. As most tidal current sites ...
متن کاملFluid Dynamics in a Copper Converter: an Investigation on Mixing Phenomena in an Experimental Model
In this study, the mixing phenomena and fluid dynamics in a copper converter have been experimentally investigated using a physical model. The physical model is a 1:5 horizontal tank made of Plexiglas. The mixing phenomena have been characterized by experimentally measuring the mixing time using a tracer dispersion technique. Moreover, the effects of the air flow rate and lance submergence on t...
متن کاملExperimental Evaluation of IRWEC1, a Novel Offshore Wave Energy Converter
This paper describes the innovative offshore point-absorber wave energy converter (WEC), IRWEC1, under development by the Hydrodynamics, Acoustics and Marine propulsion Group at Babol Noshirvani University of Technology. Totally enclosed in an outer shell, with no external moving parts, IRWEC1 is completely sealed which make it a robust and trustable system. Important motion for this WEC is the...
متن کاملAn Experimental Investigation of Cavity Flow
Understanding and controlling the flowfield in and around a cavity has challenged researchers for a number of years. The presence of a cavity on a body has been observed to significantly increase the mean drag, cause flow-induced vibrations and give rise to strong acoustic production. Of particular interest here are the flow structure and dynamics associated with open shallow rectangular caviti...
متن کاملA Back-to-Back 2L-3L Grid Integration of a Marine Current Energy Converter
The paper proposes a back-to-back 2L-3L grid connection topology for a marine current energy converter. A prototype marine current energy converter has been deployed by a research group at Uppsala University. The concept behind the prototype revolves around a fixed pitch vertical axis turbine directly connected to a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The proposed grid connection sys...
