Experimental 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 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 کاملWave energy converter control by wave prediction and dynamic programming
We demonstrate that deterministic sea wave prediction (DSWP) combined with constrained optimal control can dramatically improve the efficiency of sea wave energy converters (WECs), while maintaining their safe operation. We focus on a point absorber WEC employing a hydraulic/electric power take-off system. Maximizing energy take-off while minimizing the risk of damage is formulated as an optima...
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 ...
