2. Buoy and Generator Interaction with Ocean Waves : Studies of a Wave Energy Conversion System
Abstract : On March 13th, 2006, the Division of Electricity at Uppsala University deployed its first wave energy converter, L1, in the ocean southwest of Lysekil. L1 consisted of a buoy at the surface, connected through a line to a linear generator on the seabed. READ MORE

3. Numerical and experimental modelling for wave energy arrays optimization
Abstract : Many wave power conversion devices, especially point-absorbers, do not provide alone the necessary amount of converted electricity to be cost effective, instead they are designed to be deployed in arrays of many units. Such arrays, or parks, can satisfy a large-scale energy demand, reduce the costs of the produced electricity and improve the reliability of the system. READ MORE

4. Ocean Wave Energy : Underwater Substation System for Wave Energy Converters
Abstract : This thesis deals with a system for operation of directly driven offshore wave energy converters. The work that has been carried out includes laboratory testing of a permanent magnet linear generator, wave energy converter mechanical design and offshore testing, and finally design, implementation, and offshore testing of an underwater collector substation.

5. Time-domain modeling of a wave power farm
Abstract : In this work, we model a point absorber wave energy converter (WEC) very similar to the device that originated and was developed at Uppsala University in Sweden. The device is simulated both as a one- and a two-body model. READ MORE
