2. Modelling and Experimental Verification of Direct Drive Wave Energy Conversion : Buoy-Generator Dynamics
Abstract : This thesis is focused on development of models and modelling of a wave energy converter in operation. Through the thesis linear potential wave theory has been used to describe the wave-buoy interaction. The differences lie in the generator models, in the simplest model the generator is a mechanical damper characterized by a damping factor. READ MORE

4. Modelling Wave Power by Equivalent Circuit Theory
Abstract : The motion of ocean waves can be captured and converted into usable electricity. This indicates that wave power has the potential to supply electricity to grids like wind or solar power. A point absorbing wave energy converter (WEC) system has been developed for power production at Uppsala University. READ MORE
