On 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 کاملPs Frog: a Point-absorber Wave Energy Converter Working in a Pitch/surge Mode
In studies of wave energy, notably those made under contract to the U.K. Department of Energy, capital costs have generally been _found too high to compete with other sources It has been shown elsewhere (1) that the large structural element in these costs can be avoided by using point-absorbers reacting against an internal moving mass. This early proposal (2) suffers from the disadvantage that ...
متن کاملA Floating Platform with Embedded Wave Energy Harvesting Arrays in Regular and Irregular Seas
This paper presents a study on a cost-effective engineering model that integrates an array of floating wave energy converters with a vast platform, a viable option for multi-functional performance in renewable energy capture and ocean space utilization. The wave energy converters are floating buoyance columns flexibly connected with the elastic platform. Hydrodynamic interactions among the colu...
متن کاملFloating-Point Analog-to-Digital Converter
To deal with the wide dynamic rage necessary for a radio receiver or corresponding applications, but to avoid impractically high resolution at high data rates, the approach of using a floating-point analog-to-digital converter (FP-ADC) has been investigated. This approach de-links the dynamic range with the resolution, and a very wide dynamic range can be achieved by an ADC with a moderate reso...
متن کاملInvestigation of the effect of geometry float body on the power of wave energy absorber converter using mooring catenary
This paper presents the effect of hydrodynamic parameters of the two-body converters of a point wave absorber on the amount of power output. This converter includes two submerged and floating bodies which are connected to the spring-damper system. The whole of the converter is connected to the sea bed by mooring catenary. The relative displacement of the floating body and the submerged body is ...
