Model of Ocean Wave Energy Converter Based on Water Mass Gravity Force as a Renewable Energy Source
Journal Title: International Journal of Innovative Research in Advanced Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a model of ocean wave energy converter based on water mass gravity force (WEC-WGF) to overcome the flaws of existing wave energy converter that rely on water buoyancy force. This paper presented physical model experiment result of wave energy converter based on water mass gravity force. The harvested energy were compared with calculated theoretical energy based on linear wave theory. The physical model investigation was carried out at wave simulator (flume) in Hydraulics Laboratory Department of Civil Engineering, Hasanuddin University Indonesia on February - March 2016. The physical model consists of a series of one-way gear connected with plastic container as an interface between converter and regular generated wave. Investigation was carried out to observe the influence of gravity weight mass and wave height variations on converters harvested power. The experiment result indicated that the amount of converter Power Take Off (PTO) were strongly influenced by variation of gravity weight mass (Mgw), followed by wave height (H) and wave period (T) respectively. These results outperform the calculated power by means of linear wave theory. The result of this experiment could be used as a reference to develop theoretical or analytical model of wave energy converter based on water mass gravity force.
