  2. 21. Adaptation of wave power plants to regions with high tides

    Author : Mohd Nasir Ayob; Rafael Waters; Johan Abrahamsson; Ian Masters; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wave energy; Tides; Wave Hub; Lysekil research site; Control system; Tidal compensator; Wave energy converter.; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : The wave energy converter (WEC) developed at Uppsala University is based on the concept of a heaving point absorber with a linear generator placed on the seafloor. The translator inside the generator oscillates in a linear fashion and is connected via a steel wire to a point absorbing buoy. READ MORE

  4. 22. Grid Connected Three-Level Converters : Studies for Wave Energy Conversion

    Author : Remya Krishna; Mats Leijon; Karin Thorburn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Wave energy; power converters; control strategies; grid connection; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektronik; Engineering Science with specialization in Electronics;

    Abstract : This thesis presents an electrical system analysis of a wave energy converter (WEC) for the objective of grid connection. To transfer the enormous amount of power from waves to the load centers, efficient power electronic systems are essential. READ MORE

  5. 23. Analysis of the Fatigue Characteristics of Mooring Lines and Power Cables for Floating Wave Energy Converters

    Author : Shun-Han Yang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mooring line; power cable; fatigue; coupled analysis; power absorption; experiment; wave energy converter; heaving point absorber; computational modelling; marine biofouling effect on fatigue;

    Abstract : To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and expand the energy mix, there is a pressing need for the exploitation of renewable sources of energy, such as biomass, hydropower, solar power, waves, and wind. This thesis focuses on ocean wave energy and its applications. READ MORE

  6. 24. Wave Power for Desalination

    Author : Jennifer Leijon; Cecilia Boström; Irina Temiz; Jens Engström; Deborah Greaves; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Wave power; desalination; freshwater; engineering education; linear generator; wave energy converter; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis presents work related to wave powered desalination. Wave power for desalination could be an interesting alternative for islands or coastal regions facing freshwater shortage, and several systems have been proposed in literature. However, desalination is a process which demands a lot of energy. READ MORE

  7. 25. Modelling Wave Power by Equivalent Circuit Theory

    Author : Ling Hai; Mats Leijon; Rafael Waters; Yongliang Zhang; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Wave energy; hydrodynamics; electric circuit; electrical analogy; energy absorption; force; system modelling; Simulink; engineering science; renewable energy; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity;

    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
