چکیده
Generating power is of great importance in today’s world. Due to the pending exhaustion of fossil fuels and to their environmental impact it is crucial to develop clean renewable energy sources. Ocean energy is one of the candidates being a huge, yet unexploited renewable energy source on our planet. Preliminary surveys show that marine power has a potential to supply a significant part of the future energy needs. Hence all the researches done in the field of the wave energy conversion should be of real interest and should support the increase of the share of renewable energy in the electricity production. Based on a study on the wave power potential of the Black Sea near the Romanian coast it was considered that it should be the most efficient to install wave power plants consisting of large arrays of small direct driven wave energy converters, having specifically designed linear generators driven by a point absorbing buoy. In this paper the wave energy potential of the Black sea near the Romanian coasts, a possible power take ff system, respectively the linear generators to be used in such wave energy power converters will be discussed.

متن کاملDevelopment of a mathematical model to design an offshore wind and wave hybrid energy system
Fossil Fuels are always considered as environmental pollutants. On the other hand, the political and economic situations highly affect the price of these fuels. Offshore wind and wave, as renewable energy sources, represent the better alternatives for electricity generation. Therefore, it is necessary that wind speeds effectively be estimated due to the absence of field measurements of the wind...

Given the substitution process of generators using renewable energy sources instead of conventional generators in modern power systems, this paper proposes a Monte Carlo based method to determine an optimal level of this change. At first, LOLE index of the system was calculated without wind power to obtain the reference index. Then, the wind turbine units are replaced with the conventional gene...
متن کاملSolution of Wave Equations Near Seawalls by Finite Element Method
A 2D finite element model for the solution of wave equations is developed. The fluid is considered as incompressible and irrotational. This is a difficult mathematical problem to solve numerically as well as analytically because the condition of the dynamic boundary (Bernoulli’s equation) on the free surface is not fixed and varies with time. The finite element technique is applied to solve non...
