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...

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...
