Wave climate investigation for an array of wave power devices
This paper presents the results of a study carried out to determine the change in wave climate around an array of hypothetical wave devices. The main objective of this work is to investigate the change in wave height in the upstream and downstream of the devices for different levels of wave absorption. This is achieved by modeling the wave devices as porous structures with different porosity le...
متن کاملUnderwater Noise Modelling of Wave Energy Devices
Future large-scale implementation of wave energy converts (WECs) will introduce an anthropogenic activity in the ocean which may contribute to underwater noise. The Ocean houses several marine species with acoustic sensibility; consequently the potential impact of the underwater noise needs to be addressed. At present, there are no acoustic impact studies based on acquired data. The WEAM projec...
متن کاملDiscrete control of resonant wave energy devices.
Aiming at amplifying the energy productive motion of wave energy converters (WECs) in response to irregular sea waves, the strategies of discrete control presented here feature some major advantages over continuous control, which is known to require, for optimal operation, a bidirectional power take-off able to re-inject energy into the WEC system during parts of the oscillation cycles. Three d...
متن کاملInvestigation of the effect of buckling initiator on energy absorption of thin-walled circular tubes by using of numerical simulation
Cylindrical thin-walled tubes due to construction and easy installation, high energy absorption capacity are used in the automotive industry as an impact energy absorber. However, the main weakness of cylindrical tubes is in the high initial peak load. Therefore, in this paper, to overcome this weakness, a buckling initiator is used at the top of the tube. This buckling initiator is a steel rod...
متن کاملWave energy devices with compressible volumes
We present an analysis of wave energy devices with air-filled compressible submerged volumes, where variability of volume is achieved by means of a horizontal surface free to move up and down relative to the body. An analysis of bodies without power take-off (PTO) systems is first presented to demonstrate the positive effects a compressible volume could have on the body response. Subsequently, ...
