2. 1. Wave Energy Conversion : Linear Synchronous Permanent Magnet Generator

   Author : Oskar Danielsson; Mats Leijon; Göran Engdahl; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Engineering physics; Finite element method; linear synchronous generator; longitudinal end effect; permanent magnet; point absorber; offshore testing; wave power; Teknisk fysik;

   Abstract : This thesis studies the electric aspects of a linear synchronous permanent magnet generator. The generator is designed for use in a wave energy converter, which determines the fundamental requirements of the generator. The electromagnetic properties of the generator are investigated with a finite element based simulation tool. READ MORE

   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

5. 3. Electric Energy Conversion Systems : Wave Energy and Hydropower

   Author : Karin Thorburn; Mats Leijon; Petra Lundström; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Engineering physics; Ocean wave power; renewable energy; linear generator; farm simulation; Teknisk fysik;

   Abstract : Electric energy conversion is an important issue in today's society as our daily lives largely depend on the supplies of energy. Two energy sources are studied for conversion in the present thesis, ocean waves and hydropower. The work focuses on the generator and the transmission of its output to the electric grid. READ MORE

6. 4. 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

7. 5. Cooling Strategies for Wave Power Conversion Systems

   Author : Antoine Baudoin; Cecilia Boström; Anne Blavette; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wave power; power conversion system; thermal management; power elctronics; passive cooling; natural convection.;

   Abstract : The Division for Electricity of Uppsala University is developing a wave power concept. The energy of the ocean waves is harvested with wave energy converters, consisting of one buoy and one linear generator. The units are connected in a submerged substation. The mechanical design is kept as simple as possible to ensure reliability. READ MORE
