Modelling 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...
متن کاملHydrodynamic modelling of a direct drive wave energy converter
In this article we present numerical studies of waves interacting with a cylindrical point absorber that is directly driving a seabed based linear generator. For waves useful for power conversion, the wave/point absorber interaction can be modelled, using potential theory assuming an inviscid irrotational incompressible fluid. The generator is modelled as a viscous damper. This paper pays speci...
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 کاملInteractions Between an Oscillating Wave Surge Converter and a Heaving Wave Energy Converter
In this paper, we investigate the mutual hydrodynamic interactions between two different kinds of devices, namely, an Oscillating Wave Surge Converter modeled as an oscillating flap and a generic Heaving Wave Energy Converter modeled as a vertical truncated cylinder. A three-dimensional mathematical model based on linear potential flow theory is developed. It is assumed that the effects of the ...
متن کاملWave Energy Converter through Piezoelectric Polymers
This note addresses the concept of wave energy conversion by means of piezoelectric material. The ocean surface waves represent an important source of energy power. A multiphysics simulation is used to focus on different aspects, namely the free surface wave, the fluid-structure-interactio, the mechanical energy input to the piezoelectric material and finally the electric power output using an ...
