A Flexible Seafloor Carpet for High-performance Wave Energy Extraction
Similar to the mechanism by which a visco-elastic mud damps the energy of overpassing surface waves, if the near-shore seafloor is carpeted by an elastic thin material attached to generators (i.e. dampers) a high fraction of surface wave energy can be absorbed. Here we present analytical modeling of the flexible carpet wave energy converter and show that a high efficiency is achievable. Express...
متن کاملAn artificial seabed carpet for multidirectional and broadband wave energy extraction: Theory and Experiment
It has been reported worldwide that muddy seafloors can extract a significant fraction of the energy stored in overpassing ocean waves within several wavelengths. We consider a synthetic-seabed-carpet, supported by multiple springs and generators, that should extract wave energy the same way as muddy seafloor does. This paper presents the analytical model, the construction of the first working ...
متن کاملWave Carpet Optimization via Real Time Hybrid Modeling
Real time hybrid modeling as a structured approach of implementing a real time control system has been proven as an efficient strategy to assess and optimize wave energy converter. In this paper an existing real time hybrid modeling framework for wave energy converter is reviewed, in which the main problem is divided into multiple sub-domains. Each sub-domain uses a preferred method, e.g. exper...
متن کاملThe Wave Carpet: Development of a Submerged Pressure Differential Wave Energy Converter
Inspired by the natural phenomenon of strong attenuation of oceanic surface waves by muddy seafloors, the Theoretical and Applied Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley, has recently investigated a mud-resembling synthetic compliant seabed carpet (so called Wave Carpet), composed of linear springs and generators, that can be used as an efficient wave energy conversi...
متن کاملNonlinear Analysis of a Flexible Beam Actuated by a Couple of Active SMA Wire Actuators
There are two different ways of using SMA wires as actuators for shape control of flexible structures; which can be either embedded within the composite laminate or externally attached to the structure. Since the actuator can be placed at different offset distances from the beam, external actuators produce more bending moment and, consequently, considerable shape changes with the same magnitude...
