Wave Tank Testing and Model Validation of an Autonomous Wave Energy Converter
A key component in bringing ocean wave energy converters from concept to commercialization is the building and testing of scaled prototypes to provide model validation. A one quarter scale prototype of an autonomous two body heaving point absorber was modeled, built, and tested for this work. Wave tank testing results are compared with two hydrodynamic and system models—implemented in both ANSY...
متن کاملHydrodynamic Design Optimization and Wave Tank Testing of a Self-Reacting Two-Body Wave Energy Converter
As worldwide energy consumption continues to increase, so does the demand for renewable energy sources. The total available wave energy resource for the United States alone is 2,640 TWh/yr; nearly two thirds of the 4,000 TWh of electricity used in the United States each year. It is estimated that nearly half of that available energy is recoverable through wave energy conversion techniques. In t...
متن کاملOptimization of a Multi-pendulum Wave Energy Converter
In order to improve the energy capture efficiency of a multi-pendulum wave energy converter, a mathematical model of the pendulum structure has been built. The final structure parameters of the pendulum have been obtained by using genetic algorithm based on the numerical simulation results of the pendulum structure optimization. The results show that under obtained structure parameters the prop...
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 کاملModel Predictive and Integral Error Tracking Control of a Vertical Axis Pendulum Wave Energy Converter
By actively controlling the rotation of its pendulum, a vertical axis pendulum wave energy converter can generate significantly more net electricity from ocean waves than what would otherwise be possible through a passively swinging pendulum. This suggests that such converters can optimize their performance by incorporating active control schemes within their ever– changing ocean wave environme...
