  2. 1. Mooring dynamics for wave energy applications

    Author : Johannes Palm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hp adaptivity; Wave energy; Coupled simulations; CFD; Discontinuous Galerkin methods; OpenFOAM; Mooring dynamics; Snap loads; RANS;

    Abstract : This work aims to increase the modelling accuracy of two important problems for the wave energy industry. One concerns the mooring dynamics in the presence of snap loads (shock waves in cable tension). The other is related to nonlinear effects in the resonance region of moored wave energy converters (WECs). READ MORE

  4. 2. Single Phase Active Power Factor Correction Converters - Methods for Optimizing EMI, Performance and Costs

    Author : Supratim Basu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Antenna Factor; Diode Recovery Time; Harmonic currents; EMI; Quasi Park; Snap Factor; PFC;

    Abstract : In this thesis, front-end solutions with single-phase power factor correction (PFC) capability are studied. The reduction of current harmonics using various PFC techniques is investigated and related to the EN 61000-3-2 standard. READ MORE

  5. 3. Developing Computational Methods for Moored Floating Wave Energy Devices

    Author : Johannes Palm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wave Power; RANS simulations; Discontinuous Galerkin; Mooring Dynamics;

    Abstract : Floating point absorbers are a common class of wave-power devices typically designed to move with large amplitude in energetic waves. This stands in sharp contrast to traditional marine design, where the wave-excited motions of the structure are preferably kept to a minimum. READ MORE

  6. 4. Simulation of the progressive failure of brittle rock

    Author : Upendra K. Singh; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mining and Rock Engineering; Gruv- och Berganläggningsteknik;

    Abstract : The anisotropic response of a brittle rock due to the formation of cracks under general applied loads has been taken as a continuous phenomenon on a suitable macroscopic scale. The response is described by a continuum field variable called the "damage vector". READ MORE

  7. 5. Buoy Geometry, Size and Hydrodynamics for Power Take Off Device for Point Absorber Linear Wave Energy Converter

    Author : Halvar Gravråkmo; Mats Leijon; Jan Isberg; Luke Myers; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; point absorber; wave; energy; converter; ocean; wec; toroidal; buoy; torus; cylindrical; cylinder; experiment; full scale; trial; sea; energy; renewable; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : Wave energy converters of point absorber type have been developed and constructed. Full scale experiments have been carried out at sea and electricity has been successfully delivered. Linear permanent magnet generators together with a subsea substation and buoys of various geometric shapes have been investigated theoretically and experimentally. READ MORE
