Validation of Theoretical Performance Results using Wave Tank Testing of Heaving Point Absorber Wave Energy Conversion Device working against a Subsea Reaction Plate
The aim of this study was to validate different theoretical performance models using subscale wave tank tests. The device modeled is a heaving point absorber working against a submerged reaction plate. This type of device has been pursued by a number of commercial and is therefore relevant as a benchmark for future efforts on similar devices. A set of model tests were carried out at 1:33 scale ...
متن کاملHeaving Point Internal Mass
A design study has been made of a wave energy converter in the form of a heaving buoy reacting against an internal moving mass. Phase control has been obtained by modulating the stiffness of the spring governing the moving mass. Promising results, agreeing closely with linear theory, have been obtained with two shapes of buoy. Mean annual captures of the order of 2OOW/tonne in a typical South U...
متن کاملSystematic Design of a Heaving Buoy Wave Energy Device
Oscillating type devices constitute a major class of offshore wave energy converters. In view of the characteristic of the wave energy in China that is low in energy density, a new heaving buoy wave energy device is designed. The paper introduces the basic components of the device, including buoys, support platform, submerged platform, anchor system and hydraulic power take-off, addresses the s...
متن کاملOn the Short-term Uncertainty in Performance of a Point Absorber Wave Energy Converter
INTRODUCTION Of interest, in this study, is the quantification of uncertainty in the performance of a two-body wave point absorber (Reference Model 3 or RM3), which serves as a wave energy converter (WEC). We demonstrate how simulation tools may be used to establish short-term relationships between any performance parameter of the WEC device and wave height in individual sea states. We demonstr...
متن کاملWave Energy Assessment along Sicilian Coastline, Based on DEIM Point Absorber
The use of renewable energy sources is one of the most relevant goals to be achieved in order to match the climate protection targets. As a case study, the paper shows the current electrical energy production by sources in the Sicilian context. Among the renewable energy sources, the paper investigates the wave energy potential along the Sicilian coasts, because of the favorable climate around ...
