Hydrodynamic modelling of a direct drive wave energy converter
In this article we present numerical studies of waves interacting with a cylindrical point absorber that is directly driving a seabed based linear generator. For waves useful for power conversion, the wave/point absorber interaction can be modelled, using potential theory assuming an inviscid irrotational incompressible fluid. The generator is modelled as a viscous damper. This paper pays speci...
متن کاملExperimental Evaluation of IRWEC1, a Novel Offshore Wave Energy Converter
This paper describes the innovative offshore point-absorber wave energy converter (WEC), IRWEC1, under development by the Hydrodynamics, Acoustics and Marine propulsion Group at Babol Noshirvani University of Technology. Totally enclosed in an outer shell, with no external moving parts, IRWEC1 is completely sealed which make it a robust and trustable system. Important motion for this WEC is the...
متن کاملHydrodynamic Design Optimization and Wave Tank Testing of a Self-Reacting Two-Body Wave Energy Converter
As worldwide energy consumption continues to increase, so does the demand for renewable energy sources. The total available wave energy resource for the United States alone is 2,640 TWh/yr; nearly two thirds of the 4,000 TWh of electricity used in the United States each year. It is estimated that nearly half of that available energy is recoverable through wave energy conversion techniques. In t...
متن کاملShort-crested wave interaction with a concentric porous cylindrical structure
6 In this paper, theoretical study is carried out to investigate the general 3D short-crested 7 wave interaction with a concentric two-cylinder system. The interior cylinder is imperme8 able and the exterior cylinder is thin in thickness and porous to protect the interior cylinder. 9 Both cylinders are surface-piercing and bottom mounted. Analytical solution is derived 10 based on the linear po...
متن کاملAnalytical Investigation of the Effects of a Standing Ocean Wave in a Wave-Power Device OWC
In this work we study analytically and numerically the performance of the mean heave motion of an OWC coupled with the governing equation of the spreading ocean waves due to the wide variation in an open parabolic channel with constant depth. This paper considers that the ocean wave propagation is under the assumption of a shallow flow condition. In order to verify the effect of the waves in th...
