Experimental Update of the Overtopping Model Used for the Wave Dragon Wave Energy Converter
An overtopping model specifically suited for Wave Dragon is needed in order to improve the reliability of its performance estimates. The model shall be comprehensive of all relevant physical processes that affect overtopping and flexible to adapt to any local conditions and device configuration. An experimental investigation is carried out to update an existing formulation suited for 2D draft-l...
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 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...

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...
15 صفحه اولModelling the WITT wave energy converter
This presentation describes work undertaken as part of INNOVATE UK funding led by Witt Energy Ltd to investigate the efficacy of a novel design of wave energy converter (WEC). A sealed spherical hull is floating on the surface of the water (Fig. 2(b)) and is moored to the sea bed under a four point catenary mooring system. A mechanical device known as the WITT (Fig. 1) is housed within the hull...
