  2. 11. Energy from Ocean Waves : Full Scale Experimental Verification of a Wave Energy Converter

    Author : Rafael Waters; Mats Leijon; Jan Sundberg; Jonny Hylander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wave power; wave energy converter; sea trials; ocean energy; linear generator; point absorber; search coil; wave climate; utilization; Engineering physics; Teknisk fysik;

    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

  4. 12. Design and Evaluation of a Permanent Magnet Generator for Wave Power Applications

    Author : Pinar Tokat; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; permanent magnet machine; wave energy; energy efficiency; wave power;

    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

  5. 13. 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

  6. 14. Power from the Brave New Ocean - Marine Renewable Energy and Ecological Risks

    Author : Linus Hammar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Stereo-video; OTEC; Environmental impact; Ocean thermal energy conversion; Fish; Ecological risk assessment; Wave power; Tidal power; Offshore wind power; Ocean energy;

    Abstract : This thesis address ecological risks associated with the possible growth of marine renewable energy. Tidal power, wave power, ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) and currently expanding offshore wind power are likely to become common components of future seascapes. READ MORE
