5 | 10 989 164 | Resonant unidirectional wave energy converter | A wave energy conversion device whereby its structural design and positioning converts oscillating wave energy into unidirectional wave induced water flow. A judiciously placed upper closed perimeter boundary positioned on a submerged horizontally oriented surface pierced with an opening, focuses incident waves inward creating a resonant wave condition where the superposition of waves induces a predominantly downward unidirectional flow through the opening. A segmented sealed upper boundary results in the additional storage of water head due to the overtopping of waves, thus further smoothening and increasing the magnitude of the unidirectional flow.

1 | A review of wave energy converter technology | Abstract Ocean waves are a huge, largely untapped energy resource, and the potential for extracting energy from waves is considerable. Research in this area is driven by the need to meet renewable energy targets, but is relatively immature compared to other renewable energy technologies. This review introduces the general status of wave energy and evaluates the device types that represent current wave energy converter (WEC) technology, particularly focusing on work being undertaken within the United Kingdom. The possible power take-off systems are identified, followed by a consideration of some of the control strategies to enhance the efficiency of point absorber-type WECs. There is a lack of convergence on the best method of extracting energy from the waves and, although previous innovation has generally focused on the concept and design of the primary interface, questions arise concerning how best to optimize the powertrain. This article concludes with some suggestions of future developments. | Engineering | 2009 | 863 | |
2 | Networks of triboelectric nanogenerators for harvesting water wave energy: a potential approach toward blue energy. | With 70% of the earth's surface covered with water, wave energy is abundant and has the potential to be one of the most environmentally benign forms of electric energy. However, owing to lack of effective technology, water wave energy harvesting is almost unexplored as an energy source. Here, we report a network design made of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) for large-scale harvesting of kinetic water energy. Relying on surface charging effect between the conventional polymers and very thin layer of metal as electrodes for each TENG, the TENG networks (TENG-NW) that naturally float on the water surface convert the slow, random, and high-force oscillatory wave energy into electricity. On the basis of the measured output of a single TENG, the TENG-NW is expected to give an average power output of 1.15 MW from 1 km(2) surface area. Given the compelling features, such as being lightweight, extremely cost-effective, environmentally friendly, easily implemented, and capable of floating on the water surface, the TENG-NW renders an innovative and effective approach toward large-scale blue energy harvesting from the ocean. | Engineering, Environmental Science, Materials Science, Medicine | 2015 | 402 | |

4 | Linear PM Generator system for wave energy conversion in the AWS | The Archimedes Wave Swing is a system that converts ocean wave energy into electric energy. A pilot plant of this system has been built. The generator system consists of a permanent-magnet linear synchronous generator with a current source inverter (CSI). The correlation between the measured and the calculated parameters of the designed generator is reasonable. The annual energy yield of the pilot plant is calculated from the wave distribution as 1.64 GWh. Using a voltage source inverter instead of a CSI improves the power factor, the current waveforms, the efficiency and the generator force, so that the annual energy yield increases with 18%. | Engineering | 2004 | 323 | |
5 | A GLOBAL WAVE ENERGY RESOURCE ASSESSMENT | This paper presents results from an investigation of global wave energy resources derived from analysis of wave climate predictions generated by the WAVEWATCH-III (NWW3) wind-wave model (Tolman, 2002) spanning the 10 year period from 1997 to 2006. The methodology that was followed to obtain these new results is described in detail. The spatial and temporal variations of the global wave energy resource are presented and described. Several parameters to describe and quantify the temporal variation of wave energy resources are presented and discussed. The new results are also validated through comparisons with energy estimates from buoy data and previous studies. | Engineering, Environmental Science, Geography | 2008 | 321 | |
6 | Triboelectric Nanogenerator Based on Fully Enclosed Rolling Spherical Structure for Harvesting Low‐Frequency Water Wave Energy | Water waves are increasingly regarded as a promising source for large‐scale energy applications. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have been recognized as one of the most promising approaches for harvesting wave energy. This work examines a freestanding, fully enclosed TENG that encloses a rolling ball inside a rocking spherical shell. Through the optimization of materials and structural parameters, a spherical TENG of 6 cm in diameter actuated by water waves can provide a peak current of 1 μA over a wide load range from a short‐circuit condition to 10 GΩ, with an instantaneous output power of up to 10 mW. A multielectrode arrangement is also studied to improve the output of the TENG under random wave motions from all directions. Moreover, at a frequency of 1.43 Hz, the wave‐driven TENG can directly drive tens of LEDs and charge a series of supercapacitors to rated voltage within several hours. The stored energy can power an electronic thermometer for 20 min. This rolling‐structured TENG is extremely lightweight, has a simple structure, and is capable of rocking on or in water to harvest wave energy; it provides an innovative and effective approach toward large‐scale blue energy harvesting of oceans and lakes. | Engineering, Materials Science | 2015 | 270 | |
7 | Scattering wave energy propagation in a random isotropic scattering medium: 1. Theory | In this paper we provide a complete formulation of scattered wave energy propagation in a random isotropic scattering medium. First, we formulate the scattered wave energy equation by extending the stationary energy transport theory studied by Wu (1985) to the time dependent case. The iterative solution of this equation gives us a general expression of temporal variation of scattered energy density at arbitrary source and receiver locations as a Neumann series expansion characterized by powers of the scattering coefficient. The first term of this series leads to the first-order scattering formula obtained by Sato (1977). For the source and receiver coincident case, our solution gives the corrected version of high-order formulas obtained by Gao et al. (1983b). Solving the scattered wave energy equation using a Fourier transform technique, we obtain a compact integral solution for the temporal decay of scattered wave energy which includes all multiple scattering contributions and can be easily computed numerically. Examples of this solution are presented and compared with that of the single scattering, energy flux, and diffusion models. We then discuss the energy conservation for our system by starting with our fundamental scattered wave energy equation and then demonstrating that our formulas satisfy the energy conservation when the contributions from all orders of scattering are summed up. We also generalize our scattered wave energy equations to the case of nonuniformly distributed isotropic scattering and absorption coefficients. To solve these equations, feasible numerical procedures, such as a Monte Carlo simulation scheme, are suggested. Our Monte Carlo approach to solve the wave energy equation is different from previous works (Gusev and Abubakirov, 1987; Hoshiba, 1990) based on the ray theoretical approach. | Physics, Mathematics | 1991 | 247 | |
8 | Conventional and TFPM linear generators for direct-drive wave energy conversion | The archimedes wave swing (AWS) is a system that converts ocean wave energy into electric energy. The goal of the research described in this paper is to identify the most suitable generator type for this application. Of the conventional generator types, the three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous generator with iron in both stator and translator is most suitable, because it is cheaper and more efficient than the induction generator, the switched reluctance generator, and the permanent-magnet (PM) generator with an air-gap winding. The paper also proposes a new transverse-flux PM (TFPM) generator topology that could be suitable for this application. This new double-sided moving-iron TFPM generator has flux concentrators, magnets, and conductors on the stator, while the translator only consists of iron. | Physics, Engineering | 2005 | 241 | |
9 | Multiphysics simulation of wave energy to electric energy conversion by permanent magnet linear generator | The possibility to use three-phase permanent magnet linear generators to convert sea wave energy into electric energy is investigated by multiphysics simulations. The results show a possibility, which needs to be further verified by experimental tests, for a future step toward a sustainable electric power production from ocean waves by using direct conversion. The results suggest that wave energy can have an impact on tomorrow's new sustainable electricity production, not only for large units, but also for units ranging down to 10 kW. This gives wave power a larger economical potential than previously estimated. The study demonstrates the feasibility of computer simulations to give a broad, and in several aspects a detailed, understanding of the energy conversion. The simulation results also give a useful starting point for future experimental work. | Physics, Engineering | 2005 | 227 | |
10 | Wave energy and intertidal productivity. | In the northeastern Pacific, intertidal zones of the most wave-beaten shores receive more energy from breaking waves than from the sun. Despite severe mortality from winter storms, communities at some wave-beaten sites produce an extraordinary quantity of dry matter per unit area of shore per year. At wave-beaten sites of Tatoosh Island, WA, sea palms, Postelsia palmaeformis, can produce > 10 kg of dry matter, or 1.5 x 10(8) J, per m(2) in a good year. Extraordinarily productive organisms such as Postelsia are restricted to wave-beaten sites. Intertidal organisms cannot transform wave energy into chemical energy, as photosynthetic plants transform solar energy, nor can intertidal organisms "harness" wave energy. Nonetheless, wave energy enhances the productivity of intertidal organisms. On exposed shores, waves increase the capacity of resident algae to acquire nutrients and use sunlight, augment the competitive ability of productive organisms, and protect intertidal residents by knocking away their enemies or preventing them from feeding. | Biology, Environmental Science, Medicine | 1987 | 227 |
