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

    Författare :Rafael Waters; Mats Leijon; Jan Sundberg; Jonny Hylander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :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;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Adaptation of wave power plants to regions with high tides

    Författare :Mohd Nasir Ayob; Rafael Waters; Johan Abrahamsson; Ian Masters; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :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;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Sea Level Compensation System for Wave Energy Converters

    Författare :Valeria Castellucci; Rafael Waters; Ronan Costello; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Ocean energy; Tides; Linear generator; Point absorber; Offshore experiment; Hydro-mechanic modeling; Power absorption; Control system; Communication system; Measurement system; Lysekil research site; Wave Hub.;

    Sammanfattning : The wave energy converter developed at Uppsala University consists of a linear generator at the seabed driven by the motion of a buoy on the water surface. The energy absorbed by the generator is negatively affected by variations of the mean sea level caused by tides, changes in barometric pressure, strong winds, and storm surges. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Hydrodynamic Modelling of Wave Power using Electrical Equivalent Circuit Theory

    Författare :Ling Hai; Mats Leijon; Rafael Waters; Lars-Göran Westerberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :wave energy; hydrodynamic modelling; electric circuit; force and power analysis;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Modelling Wave Power by Equivalent Circuit Theory

    Författare :Ling Hai; Mats Leijon; Rafael Waters; Yongliang Zhang; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Wave energy; hydrodynamics; electric circuit; electrical analogy; energy absorption; force; system modelling; Simulink; engineering science; renewable energy; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity;

    Sammanfattning : The motion of ocean waves can be captured and converted into usable electricity. This indicates that wave power has the potential to supply electricity to grids like wind or solar power. A point absorbing wave energy converter (WEC) system has been developed for power production at Uppsala University. LÄS MER
