Investigation and comparison of generators for dynamic operation in ocean buoys

Creator:

Schacher, Anthony Clinton

Abstract:

A significantly untapped renewable energy source exists in the world's oceans. It is estimated that if 0.2% of the ocean's untapped energy could be harnessed, it could provide power sufficient for the entire world. Ocean energy extraction is an old concept, and it is currently seeing the benefit of advancing...

A linear test bed for characterizing the performance of ocean wave energy converters

Creator:

Hogan, Peter M.

Abstract:

Determining the performance characteristics of various ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) has proven to be difficult due to problems replicating a baseline motion profile in the ocean or wave tank to compare these devices. The linear test bed seeks to mechanically simulate the relative linear motion between the active components...

. Title: A Linear Test Bed for Characterizing the Performance of Ocean Wave Energy Converters
Novel control of a permanent magnet linear generator for ocean wave energy applications

Creator:

VanderMeulen, Aaron H.

Abstract:

Wave energy conversion devices are a rapidly growing interest worldwide for the potential to harness a sustainable and renewable energy source. Due to the oscillatory nature of ocean waves, the power generated from a permanent magnet linear generator (PMLG) for ocean wave energy conversion is pulsed. Focusing on direct drive...
