Measurements of Wave Power in Wave Energy Converter Effectiveness Evaluation

Abstract

The article is devoted to the technical solution of alternative budget measuring equipment of the water surface gravity wave oscillation and the theoretical justification of the calculated oscillation power. This solution combines technologies such as lasers, WEB-camera image digital processing, interpolation of defined function at irregular intervals, volatility of discrete Fourier transformation for calculating the spectrum.

New Hydrokinetic Turbine for Free Surface Gravitational Wave Transformation

“…A test prototype (at scale X: Y) power 4.5 kW Ecofys Wave Rotor, Ocean Mill is a vertical axis velocity boost turbine, whose productivity is supplemented by the Wells hydro turbine wave to capture the kinetic energy of the vertical component [13]. CycWec is a cross-flow turbine with two blades, but unlike the Darius turbine it has a horizontal axis, an angle of inclination of steerable blades and a controllable wave detection angle [14]. Fixing / anchoring methods -a mast or floating frame.…”
