چکیده
Abstract The dynamics of a novel wave energy converter based on guided inclined point absorber are investigated. Thereby, it is studied through simulations and experiments whether different inclination angles the lead to larger motion amplitudes velocities in regular irregular waves, from which can be harvested. For that, experimental setups analyzed presence forcing. In case waves random non-white Gaussian stochastic process sea spectrum used. It shown that angle has significant influence harvesting output. Based this insight, simple control strategy introduced order further increase

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 کاملReynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes simulation of the heave performance of a two-body floating-point absorber wave energy system
This paper presents a recent numerical study conducted by researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory on a point absorber wave energy conversion (WEC) system using a Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS)-based Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. The device we studied was a two-body floating-point absorber (FPA) that operates predominantly in heave and generates energy from t...
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 کاملValidation 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 کاملShape and geometrical parameter effects of a bimorph piezoelectric beam on energy harvesting performance
In this paper, the shape influence of piezoelectric beams including triangle, trapezoid, rectangle, inverted trapezoid, convex parabola, concave parabola, and comb-shaped (a combination of two triangular beams with a connector of 4 mm length) are addressed and analyzed by FEM. The analysis is performed for a bimorph piezoelectric beam. The analyzed parameters include the beam length, thickness ...
