Storage Minimization of Marine Energy Grids Using Polyphase Power

Multiple wave energy converter (WEC) buoys can be used to establish a WEC array-powered microgrid collectively forming Marine Energy Grid (MEG). An oceanic domain with gravity waves will have significant spatial variability in phase, causing the power produced by array high peak-to-average ratios. Minimizing these fluctuations reduces demand for large storage DC microgrids while also reducing losses undersea cable shore. Designs that reduce requirements are desirable deployment and maintenance costs. This work demonstrates polyphase conjunction an system maintain constant power. shows N geometry designed needed mitigate if produces constant, Additionally, conditions identify frequencies control effort produce developed. paper increasing number of WECs aggregate fluctuations. Finally, profiles investigated using simulation results verify mathematical developed three six cases.
