A novel particle swarm optimisation self-regulating stand-alone wave energy conversion scheme
The paper presents a novel stabilisation scheme system for a wave energy converter (WEC) using permanent magnet linear generator (PMLG) connected to a six-pulse diode rectifier. The proposed controller of WEC-battery renewable energy system is based on multi-objective particle swarm optimisation (MOPSO) technique. The optimisation algorithm is implemented to control a novel low cost dynamic AC ...

Research and development in ocean energy technologies
The volatile fuel prices for electricity generation, elevated concerns about global warming and energy security has prompted countries to look for alternative energy sources. One of the alternative energy sources is ocean energy. Currently, there is few ocean energy technologies that are commercially available to harness electrical energy from ocean despite the fact that ocean covers more than ...

The Economic Tide of this Renewable Resource is Rising
In the early 1970s, various types of wave energy converters were proposed as concerns surrounding the 1973 oil crisis began to rise. Since then, R&D of wave energy has been growing as more and more investors and engineers have acknowledged the resource’s environmental and economic benefits. According to a 2020 Market Research Report, the global wave energy market is projected to reach ...

AOPS Are Going to Help Transform the Ocean Economy, but What are They?
From electric vehicle charging stations appearing everywhere to the drones Amazon is using to deliver packages in some markets, it is easy to see the electrification transformation that’s occurring on land. But the ocean is out of sight and out of mind, which is why many people don’t know what’s happening in the busy, multitrillion dollar economy operating out there. ...

Santa Fe company aims to turn motion of waves into electricity
A Santa Fe company plans to turn ocean waves into electricity off Peru’s coast in the spring. Atmocean is run by Philip Kithil, an entrepreneur and inventor. Chris White, a native Santa Fean, works as the project administrator, and both understand the ocean and waves better than most landlocked New Mexicans. “There are a lot of exciting advantages here versus traditional ...
