6. Experimental Measurement of Lateral Force in a Submerged Single Heaving Buoy Wave Energy Converter
Abstract : The search for new solutions for the generation of energy is becoming more and more important for our future. Big arguments and disagreements on e.g. the questions of gas transport or the dependence on energy supplied by other countries raise demands on the development of new forms of alternative energy resources.

7. Hydrodynamic Modelling of Wave Power using Electrical Equivalent Circuit Theory
Abstract : Ocean wave energy can be harnessed and converted into electric energy nowadays. This provides a possibility for populations that live on islands or along coastlines to utilize the renewable and safe power produced by ocean waves. READ MORE

8. Hydromechanical simulations of wave energy conversion : Linear aspects
Abstract : Hydrodynamic simulations of buoy movement is crucial when designing a point absorbing wave power plant. The wave energy converter (WEC) that is developed in the Lysekil project by Uppsala University is studied in this thesis. READ MORE

10. 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
