On the design, modeling, and testing of ocean wave energy converters

Creator:

Bosma, Bret

Abstract:

Ocean wave energy converter technology continues to advance and new developers continue to emerge, leading to the need for a general design, modeling, and testing methodology. This work presents a development of the process of taking a wave energy converter from a concept to the prototype stage. A two body...

On the Design, Modeling, and Testing of Ocean Wave Energy
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...
