11. Energy from Ocean Waves : Full Scale Experimental Verification of a Wave Energy Converter
Abstract : A wave energy converter has been constructed and its function and operational characteristics have been thoroughly investigated and published. The wave energy converter was installed in March of 2006 approximately two kilometers off the Swedish west coast in the proximity of the town Lysekil. READ MORE

12. Design and Evaluation of a Permanent Magnet Generator for Wave Power Applications
Abstract : In this thesis, the performance of a wave energy converter (WEC) consisting of a single point absorber wave device coupled with a radial flux permanent magnet generator is investigated. The available wave power and the energy potential are studied for a specified wave climate and the electric power output is determined through an analytical buoy movement simulation. READ MORE

13. Adaptation of wave power plants to regions with high tides
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

15. 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
