  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Towards reliable and survivable ocean wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Brown, Adam C.
    Abstract:
    Ocean wave energy is a new and developing field of renewable energy with great potential. The energy contained in one meter of an average wave off the coast of Newport Oregon could supply dozens of homes with electricity. However, ocean waves are usually quite irregular which leads to large bursts...

  • Ocean electrical energy generation : An overview and potential for Oregon's Territorial Sea

    Creator:
    Smith, Gary Frederick
    Abstract:
    This report deals with the current status of four promising sources of electrical energy generation from the oceans. They are, in sequence; Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion: Where energy is obtained by exploiting the temperature differences between warm surface waters, and much deeper colder waters. Tidal Energy: Where differences in water...

  • 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...
